Christian Scott - Yesterday You Said Tomorrow (2010)
A relatively young entrepreneur in the vast, seemingly self-contained world of modern day jazz, Christian Scott has conjured up one of the most diggable records of 2010 for me: a post-bop extravaganza with not only a fair amount of awesome free-jazz moments, but littered with enough snaky hip-hop architecture and some fleshy electronic touches to keep things interesting for even those that don't normally think much of jazz. The
Maiden Voyage of the 21st century mayhap? I think so.
Particular kudos for the cover of Thom Yorke's "The Eraser" also: its worth the price of admission in and of itself.
