Best Jazz Releases of 2020: Best Jazz Releases of 2020
Time Magazine has dubbed 2020 "The Worst Year Ever," but as All About Jazz's Karl Ackermann affirms, "Yet, amid doom-scrolling, the creative music community did its best to adjust to the chaos, uncertainty, and isolation and produced more excellent recordings than in any year in recent memory."
