    our lives. Those four-digit designations


    Your first look at the marking one orbit around the sun are human
    constructs, pure and simple – empty, pointless
    top 10 jazz albums of and merely serving to divert us from the hard
    2009 realities of our individual existence.
    By Oakland Jazz Music Examiner, Brian McCoy That must be why we so fervently embrace
    December 9, 12:39 PM them … and why I am so looking forward to
    seeing McCoy Tyner at Yoshiʼs New Yearʼs
    Eve.
    One example of the year-end phenomenon
    well-entrenched in American arts and culture
    is the top 10 list. The first few such rankings
    of 2009 jazz albums are making their way
    into the blogosphere and my own is in the
    works. (It wonʼt be a Best list, however, rather
    a more egalitarian Favorites list).

    You and I know that this whole end-of-year
    thing is pure malarkey, that the hours in Jazzhouse Diaries
    which December 31 slips into January 1 Ran Blake: “Driftwoods”
    represent no real change or demarcation in Chad Taylor: “Circle Down”
