I interviewed Kamasi Washington's bassist, Miles Mosley, for Bandcamp. His album Uprising comes out 1/27; it's not a jazz disc, more of a '70s funk/R&B album, but with massive, fuzzed-out, almost Hendrixian bass solos on pretty much every track. It's really good.

There is a great bit of audience interaction on Joe McPhee's Flowers live album where he explains that when he was in the army he couldn't quite explain to his fellow soldiers why he had a watercolour tribute to Ornette Coleman in his locker door rather than the standard girlie pics.

Somehow I missed that the Bad Plus even released an album this year, much less Bad Plus-ed Prince:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjtvIi_T0lY

My fav bass player at the moment is the young German livewire dude by the name of Noah Punkt, his work with Protean Reality and his Ordnung Herrscht album are both quality imo. I'm not usually too bothered about no-wavey influenced stuff but there is something about his style I love.
