TheMonster 12.29.21	Also, I missed one: Wynton Marsalis Septet - Selections From the Village Vanguard Box "Buggy Ride" (1994) Jazz
DANcore 12.29.21	Not a Kamasi Washington fan?
TheMonster 12.30.21	^ I knew I forgot something. Should have included "The Epic."
bgillesp 12.30.21	Kamasi, Makaya McCraven, Christian Scott, Rogue Parade, Ill Considered are just a few modern jazz acts I think you should consider adding
CottonSalad 12.30.21	Glad to see 2 representing Evan’s - great great album Totally weird that you just condensed 40 years into 13 recs all of a sudden? lol
TheMonster 12.30.21	These lists are meant to be be an entry point for those looking to get into the genre, not an exhaustive compilation. Frankly, there's not much jazz from 1980-onward that's essential listening from that POV. I'd include Kamasi, probably, but that's about it. (There may be too many records on this list anyway.)
CottonSalad 12.30.21	Gotcha! Definitely gets pretty subjective with "essential listening" in a genre as sprawling as this...guess I didn't notice that with your prior posts haha
loulou 12.30.21	Great list. Glad to see 4 and 8 here.
bgillesp 01.02.22	Definitely a great list and I understand it’s purpose. I’d definitely consider Kamasi Washington, Makaya McCraven, and Christian Scott modern essentials though, at least way more than Niechec
