R.J. DeLuke's Best Releases of 2012
by R.J. DeLuke
A ton of fine music came out in 2012, like most years, making these year-end lists very difficult. A lot we don't get to hear, so that limits some. For example, I've not yet heard the 2012 disks of drummer Jack DeJohnette, trumpeter Christian Scott or guitarist John McLaughlin and the Fourth Dimension. Having seen each ...
Dan Bilawsky's Best Releases of 2012
