Shabaka Hutchins - three Sons of Kemet albums, two Comet is Coming, one for the Ancestors, two with Melt Yourself Down, pretty sure he played on the final Polar Bear record, plus numerous guest appearances and is great live in every incarnation. Four Tet - his own albums and his production work, especially the last two Neneh Cherry records. These New PuritansI’m sure there are others if I go looking through the collection.

Half of these are unfamiliar to me and that's fine/expected when music is so big but I do worry that my current journeys I'm so engrossed in somehow wont insect with new exciting movements I might like.

Clinging to a Scheme is all-time great. I had to stop listening to that album for fear of burning out on it.

I think my vote's gonna have to go to saxophonist JD Allen:
Victory! (Sunnyside, 2011)The Matador and the Bull (Savant, 2012)Grace (Savant, 2013) Bloom (Savant, 2014) Graffiti (Savant, 2015)Americana: Musings on Jazz and Blues (Savant, 2016)Radio Flyer (Savant, 2017)Love Stone (Savant, 2018)
Grace and Bloom are the only albums from that list that I don't absolutely love, and that's because he swapped out his regular band (Gregg August on bass, Rudy Royston on drums, and Nir Felder on guitar on Radio Flyer and Love Stone) for some other folks.

there was quite a lot of good music but only few artists who delivered regularly. especially my old heroes yo la tengo disappointed me totally. my top three:- low- julia holter- jessie ware (when she hit it she hit it)

I feel like this isn't a great way to judge the decade. If I try to think of artists who were consistently great through the whole 70s or 90s I would think of one or two for each - and my favourite artists of all time were at their peaks then. For this decade, I only can think of Julia Holter, everyone else started too late, tailed off at the end or simply didn't release enough music.

This had to have been a more lively topic in the days when most artists released an album a year or so. You could have a more dazzling track record.

(I know, there are exceptions I like who still maintain that pace)

I agree, I chose artists who have most affected me during that time, not some quantum of achievement or untarnished greatness.

Jane Weaver has made 3 great albums the second half of the decade but I wasn't into the first 3 between 2010 and 2013.
