My current top 100 jazz albums

The point of posting this is to see how different the top 100 will look like by the end of the year as I plan to explore more jazz.

This is taken from a masterlist of every album I've heard ranked from best to worst.  This list has been improved on over 11 years starting from a humble 30 albums all the way up to 13,000.  It just reached the point where I had to separate the list into multiple files.  This list includes nu jazz, jazz-rock and jazz pop.  This list doesn't include jazz rap because most of the jazz rap I've heard isn't jazzy enough.  Btw, since I included jazz rock, expect some prog.
