Free For All by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers

This is an absolutely torrential record, and nowhere is that more true than the blistering title track. The technical virtuosity on display here makes it one of the best jazz records of the year. And it's not all old-school hard bop either. There are some touches of more boundary-pushing jazz that surface now and again. 4/5.

I’m down if we can recruit at least two or three other people to participate. Do you want to be the recruitment director?

Maybe we can get Dihansse & KD to join in. I think it would be cool if we could come up with a “group” top 10 for a year via recs & dialog. I think it would be cool to start with 2010.
