2019 in Review
Likes of Rolling Stone: Best Jazz of 2019
With only an occasional look backwards (Art Ensemble of Chicago, Marc Ribot, Joe Lovano, among others) Hank Shteamer's Best of Jazz 2019 in Rolling Stone, unapologetically looks forward. A stew of the avant-garde, rock, protest and hip-hop have started to coalesce the jazz of the 21st Century, and finally "best of" lists aren't weighted down with the songbook or reissues. The Gazette has tried to keep its eye out on the new shape of jazz that's been percolating, and while the some of the music here might fly past some Mosaic fans (at least, this one), the excitement that's evident is worth a serious listen for everyone.
