I have barely listened to any jazz albums that came out in the 21st century (I’d expect that a good number of you guys also haven’t). So, those that have any degree of experience in said topic:

What albums do you consider to be modern classics of jazz?

    I have listened to the following:

    • Electric masada - At the mountains of madness

    Someone on RYM called it “the modern bitches brew”; therefore, I had to check it out. A great album: very bombastic. (and, yes, it is reminiscient of bitches brew) 9/10

    • Bohren & der Club of Gore - Sunset Mission

    Only ever listened to when I am reading. Good for background playing but no strong feelings. Not a big fan of this genre of music. 5/10

    • Bruno Pernadas - Those Who Throw Objects at the Crocodiles Will Be Asked to Retrieve Them

    More elements of pop than jazz, however, it has enough jazzy elements to be considered a jazz-fusion album. Absolutely amazing album, especially great when taking a shower. 9/10

    • Floating Points - Promises

    TBH, I don’t really remember much from this album. But I remember liking it. ?/10
