Ludovico Granvassu's Garden of Jazzy Delights 2023
by Ludovico Granvassu
If it is true that, like The Police once put it, when the world is going down you make the best of what's still around," then throughout 2023 jazz fans were better off than most other social groups.

At other times, it is Sun Ra's Arkestra. Next up could be an unplugged Funkadelic. And there ...

Depending on taste, you may find the album mellifluous and relaxing, or vacuous and inconsequential. Unintentionally but irrefutably, Foat and Masin's project highlights the unbridgeable disconnect between jazz and ambient. ...

But few have acquired the quasi-mythological stature of 1973's politically charged spiritual-jazz masterpiece Message From Mozambique by Bay Area tenor saxophonist Plunk Nkabinde and his band JuJu. The only disc to come close is Gil Scott-Heron and ...
