Lists, lists, lists. Everyone is interested in lists.
No matter how you define the music, we are closing out a phenomenal year in jazz music (you know the art form that's dead). And in hopes of expressing some of the joy I have experienced this year, throughout the month of December, I plan on presenting a lot of the music that has made the year what it has been in various forms. I'll have a list up at some point, but for now I will have an ongoing index below. Click the image or text to take you the album feature:
