Read "Pierre Giroux's Favorite Jazz Albums of 2025" reviewed by Pierre Giroux


The story of my selection of the top jazz albums of 2025, is, fittingly a conversation between past and present. New recordings by working bands and veteran leaders proved that the language of swing, blues and modern harmony is still being spoken with conviction, while carefully curated reissues reminded us just how deep the tradition runs. ...

Mark Sullivan's Favorite Jazz Albums of 2025

Read "Mark Sullivan's Favorite Jazz Albums of 2025" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


There must be an echo in here: like just about everyone else, I observe that there was a lot of great music released in what was otherwise an unsettling year. They ranged from hard bop (Words Fall Short, Belonging) to fusion (Hard Believer, Live at Berlin) to experimental (Trio of Bloom). Experimental guitarist Nels Cline appears ...

Jack Kenny's Best Jazz Albums Of 2025

Read "Jack Kenny's Best Jazz Albums Of 2025" reviewed by Jack Kenny


A year is an arbitrary time. The list is chronological by how they came to me. The albums that still stand out are Bone Bells (Pyroclastic Records) by Sylvie Courvoisier and Mary Halvorson and the sheer professional expertise of Jed Levy Faces and Places (Self Produced). Both albums, in their different ways, exude creativity and joy. ...

The vagaries of the jazz life are all over this release. Why Kenny Dorham should be underappreciated is a mystery. For the gig at the Blue Morocco he had assembled a great super group with a deep well of experience. Drummer Denis Charles had worked with Cecil Taylor.

Read "Blue Bossa in the Bronx: Live from the Blue Morocco" reviewed by Pierre Giroux


Trumpeter Kenny Dorham's stature in jazz history is undeniable, yet he remains one of music's most under-appreciated masters. Despite being a vital presence among the great innovators of his era, Dorham never achieved the star power his talent deserved.

Kenny Dorham: Blue Bossa in the Bronx: Live from the Blue Morocco

Read "Blue Bossa in the Bronx: Live from the Blue Morocco" reviewed by Troy Dostert


On their 1955 live recording At the Cafe Bohemia (Blue Note), the Jazz Messengers' Art Blakey introduced his trumpet player, Kenny Dorham, as the “Uncrowned King," a title that was perhaps fitting at the time given Dorham's still-rising trajectory.
