Modern Day Jazz Stories
2.  Modern Day Jazz Stories by Courtney Pine

There's No Going Back
3.  There's No Going Back by Mujician

Fixations 14
7.  Fixations 14 by John Butcher
The list author says:

Monoceros
8.  Monoceros by Evan Parker
The list author says:
  "Evan Parker is the British master saxophonist.  His work in ensembles is great but his solo work is extraordinary."

  "The exceptionally gifted and truly brilliant alto player Mike Osborne had a sound unlike anyone on the British scene."

Two's and Three's
11.  Two's and Three's by Elton Dean
