Jack Bowers' Best Jazz Albums Of 2024

Read "Jack Bowers' Best Jazz Albums Of 2024" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

On a personal note, this is unlike any “best of the year" summaries I've written during my more than twenty-five years as a reviewer for All About Jazz. The reason is that I fell in late April and broke my left femur. As a result, I completed no reviews from that time until early September, a ...

Read "Marshall Gilkes: LifeSongs" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky
