Angelo Leonardi's Best Jazz Albums of 2024
by Angelo Leonardi
What follows is the list of the albums, both Italian and international, that I most appreciated and, above all, loved in 2024. These are the ones that enriched and inspired me the most, the ones I found myself returning to repeatedly. They are listed in alphabetical order, not by order of preference. In preparing this list ...
Jack Bowers' Best Jazz Albums Of 2024
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 ...
Jihye Lee Orchestra: Infinite Connections
by Jack Bowers
Some eighty-odd years ago a handful of trailblazers led by saxophonist Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie changed the vocabulary of jazz, introducing bebop as a successor to trad jazz and swing and radically transforming the music's landscape and perspective. Their terminology remained pretty much intact for a number of years, with partisans choosing a path ...
Jihye Lee Orchestra: Infinite Connections

Lee is a fearless artist with a seemingly limitless imagination, with a multiplicity of themes and rhythms swirling through her ...
Geri Allen, Kurt Rosenwinkel: A Lovesome Thing
by Stefano Merighi
Non si può certo dire che le carriere di Geri Allen e Kurt Rosenwinkel si siano incrociate spesso. Eppure tra i due c'è sempre stata amicizia e stima reciproca, confermate in questo concerto parigino del 2012, dedicato dal chitarrista alla memoria di Geri, scomparsa presto e assai rimpianta. In effetti, tutti i pianisti all'avanguardia ...
Ludovico Granvassu's Garden of Jazzy Delights 2023
by Ludovico Granvassu
If it is true that, like The Police once put it, “when the world is going down you make the best of what's still around," then throughout 2023 jazz fans were better off than most other social groups. In a year in which everyday news brought ever more inconceivable disappointments, jazz musicians, labels, festivals and venues ...
