At least you give some indication of what you're listening to. Maybe it would help if o/p did the same, because 10.5 years is a lot of music to choose from when giving recommendations.
I've got Peterson and Mozart on my iTunes as well, although to be honest they don't get played much; I'm not sure how much overlap there would be in our tastes. The new CD that has really won me over this year is Nova Express by John Zorn, which is a really great jazz album for a quartet of piano, vibes, bass and drums. Not the usual squealing, satanist Zorn, but not easy listening either ... it sits right on the line where I draw my interest in jazz right now. When speaking of Zorn, "your mileage may vary" is pretty much a given.
I mix in a healthy amount of back catalogue purchases, but I'd be mighty surprised if I couldn't give a list of thirty exceptionally good albums from the last decade.
