This will be controversial. Allen Toussaint "Bright Mississippi". Old style Kansas City jazz but with modern overlays by Toussaint. Can't keep from tapping your toes while enjoying the solo excursions. This is the only "jazz" CD Toissant every made (he was mostly noted for NOHO "funk".) But it managed to win the title of best Jazz record of the year .... and in its creative juxtaposition of style is a jazz wonder.
