JazzTimes turned 50 in 2020, and we commemorated that milestone in our December issue with two lists of the past 50 years’ 50 best jazz albums—one by our critics and one by our readers. In “50 for 50,” a live Zoom event on November 23, we capped off the anniversary festivities. JT editor Mac Randall discusses many of the albums on both lists (and a few that didn’t make either one) with a distinguished panel: NEA Jazz Master Terri Lyne Carrington, pianist and writer Ethan Iverson, jazz historian Ashley Kahn, and journalist David Fricke.
