For our best jazz albums of 2019 click here

The year began with issue one of Maggot Brain, from the Third Man Records stables, landing on the doorstep with a delightful feature on Alice Coltrane. We had been listening to many 2020 promos over the festive break. Of the 47 albums received at the very start of the year, Nick Walters ‘Active Imagination’, Alex Jønsson ‘Heathland’, Andrew Canniere ‘Ghost Days’, Jonah Parzen-Johnson ‘Imagine Giving Up’, Muhammad Dawjee ‘Otherness’ and Nick Walters ‘Active Imagination’ were to be some of the most memorable. And although we had published a few reviews dated 2020 before the year-end, it was Dan Rosenboom who was to be our first review out the gate with his ‘Absurd In The Anthropocene’ album via Orenda/Gearbox. There were rumblings of a new Wojtek Mazolewski album and the prolific Wolfgang Dauner passed away – It was going to be a memorable start to the New Year and new decade!

Listen to our celebration of Wolfgang here:

January continued to excite with new music from John McLaughlin / Shankar Mahadevan / Zakir Hussain called ‘Is That So?’ from the label Abstract Logix. One that took us completely by surprise. We were listening to Thana Alexa, Boddhi Satva, The Sorcerers, Lakecia Benjamin and Jasper Høiby albums, just as the very sad news came through that both Claudio Roditi and Jimmy Heath had died. New music was ahead of us on Blue Note from Charles Lloyd (8: Kindred Spirits) and Nduduzo Makhathini (Modes of Communication: Letters from the Underworlds) and a sample of the George Burton album ‘Reciprocity’ did whet one’s appetite.

A live performance by Norman Connors and the Starship Orchestra alongside Lonnie Liston Smith and the Cosmic Echoes was to be our go-to event in January.

February came rather too quickly but with it many delights. The month kicked off with news of both Daniel Toledo Quartet and Agile Experiments new albums. James Taylor Quartet were back, and albums from Erlend Apneseth, Christian McBride and Grégory Privat were taking up a lot of our listening time. But it was the release from Seu Jorge and Rogê that eased us into the start of the month with style. On the reissue front, a stand-out from Pure Pleasure records in Weldon Irvine’s ‘Time Capsule’ was to cement the brand as nobody could fault the re-mastering skills by Ray Staff at Air Mastering, making some of the classic albums sound oh so much better than their originals – and yes, we did do the comparisons.

As February jogged along, wonderful music was arriving from Emie R Roussel Trio, Shabaka and The Ancestors, Organic Pulse Ensemble, Steve Spacek, Moses Boyd, Ross McHenry and the mighty Web Web, whose third album garnered their 3rd 5-star review here. Other stand-out moments came from contemporary names in Chiara Pancaldi, Ville Herrala and Samo Šalamon Trio but the month also delivered sad news in the passing of two incredible musicians in Lyle Mays and Jon Christensen. A particular blow to fans of the ECM catalogue.

As March came knocking at our door, there was much talk of the new Jazz Sabbath release, with its rather clever spoof story and documentary under the watchful eye of Adam Wakeman. The wheel on the new Tenderlonious “Plays Tubby” had begun to turn whilst albums by Tony Allen/Hugh Masekela, stillefelt, Timo Lassy and Gard Nilssen had yet been unwrapped. Reviews were underway for BBE’s unearthed Ambiance album from 1982 called ‘Into A New Journey’ and Jazzman’s vinyl reissue of Amirtha Kidambi’s Elder Ones album from 2016, ‘Holy Science’. We were also made aware of an overlooked 2019 incredible album by Juan Saiz Trio out of Spain called ‘Dr. Bobô’ – just going to show there is always something that slips through the hole in the basket.

Then we lost McCoy Tyner

We welcome the arrival of Nduduzo Makhathini’s album mid-way through March, alongside the first batch of Record Store Day releases as the world is hit with the Coronavirus pandemic. RSD is put on hold and concerts, festivals, jazz clubs and all other forms of social gatherings are rescheduled, including Avishai Cohen tour dates for his ‘Big Vicious’ introduction to the ECM label. Other noteworthy albums were Bobby Previte / Jamie Saft / Nels Cline album ‘Music from the Early 21st Century’, Eva Kess with ‘Sternschnuppen – Falling Stars’, Aloft Quartet with ‘Farewell Old Ways’ and two EPs from Tenderlonious and Emma-Jean Thackray respectfully. Add to that the showing of ‘Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool’ on BBC2 and you get a picture of the highs and lows of March.

Then we lost Mike Longo, Marcelo Peralta, Manu Dibango, Wray Downes, Ray Mantilla, Bubbha Thomas and Wallace Roney.

Listen to our celebration of Wallace Roney here:

As March faded away with everyone’s thoughts on the spread of Covid-19, the huge effects on the music and entertainment community and the growing worry of when things will start to get back on track, we are wonderfully distracted with brand new albums from Michael Olatuja, Matt Gold, Etuk Ubong, Robert Mitchell, Mariecke Borger, Martin Busaglia, Sasha Mashin, Gary Bartz and Maisha, Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Richard Peña, Omer Avital, Bruno Heinen Trio, Dayna Stephens Trio, Yaroslav Likhachev Quartet, Wolfgang Muthspiel and Rob Luft, the latter garnered a clear 5-star rating from the team in April, where the fall of more and more musicians would become almost a daily headline.

Our blessings to the fallen: Harold Rubin – Dieter Reith – Bucky Pizzarelli – Ellis Marsalis Jr., – Hal Willner – Eddy Davis – Betty Bennett – Larry Sherman – Peter Ecklund – Richard Teitelbaum – Andy González – Jymie Merritt – Big George Brock – Tantinho da Mangueira – Moraes Moreira – Ryo Kawasaki – Gary McSpadden – Lee Konitz – Giuseppi Logan – Henry Grimes – Jacques Pellen – Bootsie Barnes

April was to witness a fabulous flurry of online performances around the world on many platforms, including social media. The artists, whether frustrated or inspired maintained a superb camaraderie – the great Herbie Hancock, who celebrated his 80th birthday this month, fully backing the idea. The team had enjoyed music offered up by Daniel Carter, John Carroll Kirby, Tony Kofi, Shawn Maxwell, Thandi Ntuli, Playground4, Tom Green Septet, George Colligan, Spiritual Jazz 11 from Jazzman records and an unknown album by Oneness Of Juju.

We were to wake on the first day of May to the awful news of drummer Tony Allen passing. May also saw the death of saxophonist Richie Cole and Don Weller of Major Surgery fame. The year came with further sadness as we lost Keith Tippett and Stanley Cowell.

Then Covid, home-schooling and working-from-home regimes kicked in and evaporated any memories of the remainder of 2020 to one big cloud of forgetfulness… Thankfully the music held us – the community – together. For the first year in a good while we the team pushed aside our Year-End best-of chart and opted for individual ‘STAFF’ lists. We think it’s the way forward…
