♫ Happy New Year ~ May 2016 be your best year yet! Here are the top 50 Jazz albums that received the most airplay on US, Canadian and internet radio stations from the past week!

Even though it's been three weeks since the last list was released, not much has changed with the top 5. It's still the same artists but just in a different order. *sigh*

Please enjoy Dunlop Sessions: Snarky Puppy. Starts off chatty but that segues into a performance so be patient.

Top 50 Jazz Albums - 13 December 2015 [Source: JazzWeek]

Here are the top 50 Jazz albums that received the most airplay on US, Canadian and internet radio stations from the past week!

Houston Person continues to hold the number one slot with Something Personal and Kenny Burrell comes in at number two with The Road To Love. 

You're slippin' if you haven't been checking out NPR's second season of Jazz Night in America every Thursday either via radio or online. Set aside some time this week and watch the two hour performance of Kamasi Washington that was presented earlier in 2015. If the Recording Academy's nomination process was righteous, The Epic would have been nominated for a GRAMMY.
