Beginning a five part series talking about and playing some of last year’s recordings about which jazz aficionados are *raving*.
I’m jotting down every record placed in any of the ‘top 10’ (or so) jazz albums of 2022 lists. Then putting a check mark everytime somebody chooses it. Mary Halvorson’s Amaryllis albums seems to be everybody’s favourite,,,,at least so far.
In episode 4 I’ll give you a ‘countdown’ of the top choices. In the meantime, I’ll just play a track from each album that seems to resonate with me. Of course, with 433 different albums from 78 different reviewers, it’s often a matter of chance as to which ones I discover. Just like life, I guess.
Besides the a/m Ms. Halverson, you’ll hear in this first episode Brandon Coleman, Patricia Brennan (good vibes), Melissa Styliano w. Gene Bertoncini, Oscar Peterson (historical release), Charles Lloyd w. Bill Frisell, Abel Selaocoe (try pronouncing that name!), Redman-Mehldau-Mcbride-Blade, and Reuben James,
