I migliori (secondo noi) dischi del 2007

Anche il 2007 è stato infatti caratterizzato da una produzione discografica piena di proposte stimolanti, anche se sempre più ipetrofica. Qui di seguito troverete elencati quelli che, a giudizio dei redattori di All About Jazz Italia, sono stati CD di particolare rilievo (tanto da meritare dalle 4 alle 5 stelle). Ovviamente ce ne sono stati tanti altri... ma questi sono quelli che abbiamo avuto modo di segnalare.

Cliccando qui, invece, potrete consultare l'elenco dei CD della settimana di All About Jazz Italia. E se vi va di fare comparazioni storiche, potete consultare gli elenchi dei CD della settimana del 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2000-2001 [dicembre del 2000 sembra ieri... ma AAJ sta per iniziare il suo ottavo anno di vita!]

I dischi sono elencati in ordine cronologico inverso (ossia dalle recensioni di dicembre a quelle di gennaio)
