Would like to have seen 'nu-jazz' get more of a look-in on these lists (not even any Kamasi?), nice to see Jaimie Branch get her dues though.
All I got inside is vacancy!

I'm not the biggest Kamasi fan, but he should definitely crack top 20.

Exactly how I feel, just thought KW would be more palatable to jazz traditionalists than Moses Boyd, chuffDRONE, any of Shabaka's bands etc...and The Epic was an achievement. Still, good to see a different perspective in these lists!
