Twelve tracks from Jazz First's Favourite Albums Of 2024... Dance, No One's Watching! that reflects the Jazz First manifesto that is as much about dance and groove as it is about improvised music. The playlist features tracks that fuse jazz with hip-hop, house, Afrobeat, dub, spiritual, world and other genres that have been dancing with each other amiably for decades. Most reflect, in part, music for the dancehall, away from the concert hall where something got lost mid-way during the 20th century. Here's to hope for 2025 and how jazz can help speak toward the unifying power of dance in these uncertain times.Playlist
