From an extended all-ECM special last show to close 2022 to this week's favourite shows of 2022 to open a new year. And let me wish you a healthy and productive 2023 while I have the floor. I've picked out music from a goodly number of my favourite releases out of an awful lot of great music released in 2022. The only tracks not on the list are the ones by Maximiliano Kirszner, Javier Moreno and Lisa Marie Simmons, but they're interesting recordings too!
