EDITON"S SUMMARY
Observont reoders will see there ore octuolly 22 entries obove - this is becouse in seeking the 20 highest scorers
we ron into equols, ond could hordly leove ony of them oui; reoders moy olso note thot this yeor ihe issue/reissue
distinction hos been obondoned (ond proboblywill not relurn), This lost-minute decision resulted from
inconsistency omong reviewers obout whot constitutes o reissue, So mony "reissues" these doys contoin
previously unissued moteriol thot the lines between old ond new hove become bluned. Also obsent ihis yeor is the
CD moster list, which wos toking too much spoce, Reviewers chose from the 900+ CDs covered in JJ in 20'l5 ond
their individuol lists ond comments ore ot leost os significont os the list of front runners obove.

As ever, q weolth of new issues to choose from, but I think myEuropeon ond Americon mix speoks for itself. As for reissues: l'vegone for the complete ond the collected. which is whot onydecent record lobel should curote from its orchives on o regulorbosis. Unfortunotely, most foil to do so, leoving the cheop ondcheerful scoop-up merchonts to do their work for them.

There I wos thinking it wos possible to enjoy o bolonced dietmode up exclusively of Europeon ond Scondinovion titles in201 5, when olong comes Brod Mehldou's mognificent solopiono releose to prove me otherwise. Art Pepper's Fot Tuesdoyrecording just missed the cut os well. Fovourite ortists continue todominote my reissue choices, o reminder of where jozz's postglories loy, but l'm convinced the Euro scene is where most ofthe best current music is being mode.
