And the best jazz album of 2025 is……?


This is only the beginning of December so it may be a little premature but honestly, i’ve been a little dismayed that there have been so albums loved by critics and jazz aficionados that left me wanting.  I’m thinking of the latest releases from Ambrose Akimusire, Mary Halvorson, & Sylvie Courvoisier.  They’re not bad but….album(s) of the year?   I do however like the latest release from Nicole Glover.  Has this been a weak year or is it me?
