Ooh i have to think again what I bought this year and what of that is released this year.
Likely top 4
Tyshawn Sorey - Unfiltered
Thirlwell & Steensland - Oscillosomething
Jennifer Curtis & Tyshawn Sorey - Invisible Ritual
Eight Blackbird - In the death of night.
Discovery of the year is Tyshawn Sorey for me. I bought 4 of his albums, but that is 11 hours of music. Still digesting it all.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
It is quite slow and moody jazz. Little bit in the vein of stuff that Miles Davis did in the sixties. Pleasant but not particularly stunning album.

This is particularly good https://titantotachyons.bandcamp.com/album/cactides
2/3 of Zorn's Simulacrum (Matt Hollenberg and Kenny Grohowski) team with super-talented, super-beautiful guitar player Sally Gates for an excellent morsel of experimental/avant/metal music.

“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
This is super. I used to say of Guapo that if you've got James Sedwards in your band and he isn't playing guitar, you know you've got quite a guitarist. The same applies with Matt Hollenberg - and Sally Gates is stellar for sure.
Also, at this point if Kenny Grohowski joined a Milli Vanilli cover band I'd probably buy the record.

Dang... I'm still catching up on the 2020 releases I've acquired but not gotten around to actually hearing yet.
