Francis Davis, with comments on the year in Jazz and overall poll results (agree w his disappointed minority opinion of the latest Shorter), but I prefer reading about his own choices and comments on same (damn, a New York Art Quartet box?!)http://www.npr.org/blogs/bestmusic2013/2013/12/18/252001963/wayne-shorter-and-the-years-other-passing-scenery

I'm on his side w/r/t Shorter too (that album was never even in contention for my ballot).

There several mary halvorson cd´s this year.i guess this one was too late for Davis´ list:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxBE7SyKzoAIt was reviewed at Stef´s freejazz blog.
There was also a bass/guitar release on Intakt with Halvorson and Stephen Crumb calles ´Super 8´.A new Meg Okura cd? Nice.
