This is the first in a series of sets where we explore the groove of contemporary jazz. If the tune was recorded in the 21st century, we consider it "contemporary". For this first collection, we highlight some of the artists that have been topping "the critic's charts" most recently.

  1. Jason Parker Quartet - Bashert
    (from: "No More No Less")
  2. Tom Harrell - Bird In Flight
    (from: "Roman Night")
  3. Brad Mahldau - Into The City
    (from: "Highway Rider")
  4. Darcy James Argue - Zeno
    (from: "Infernal Machines")
  5. Joel Harrison - Between The Traveler And The Setting Sun
    (from: "Urban Myths")
  6. Vijay Iyer - Mystic Brew
    (from: "Historicity")
  7. Christian Scott - After All
    (from: "Yesterday You Said Tomorrow")
  8. Corey Wilkes - First Mind
    (from: "Cries From The Ghetto")
  9. Steve Lehman Octet - Echoes
