I noticed you don't have Jason Moran's "Ten" listed in the top 20 albums of the year. Just thought I'd recommend this album as it is somewhat of a "game changer" - Moran has a unique voice on this album and I believe he is the future of the piano trio (along with others like Brad Mehldau). Thanks for considering this...and for the work on your blog! Best wishes, MWK
