Paolo Peviani's Favorite Jazz Albums of 2025

By

View read count
When looking at today's jazz recording industry, it is hard not to feel that something essential has gone missing: real selection at the source—producers willing to take responsibility, to filter, to choose. This is not a new phenomenon, but one that now seems to be reaching a breaking point. In the overwhelming flood of releases, identifying recordings of genuine artistic value has become increasingly difficult.

Fortunately, at least for now, AI has yet to make inroads into the jazz world. Let us therefore savor these remaining pockets of divergent music, created by people of flesh, bone, and soul, for listeners who still seek sounds not generated by algorithms—starting with the 2025 albums below, listed in order of preference.
