Top 50 Jazz Albums - 10 January 2016 [Source: JazzWeek]

♫ 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.
