Libero Farnè's Best Jazz Albums Of 2024

by Libero Farnè
January 8, 2025

The list I have compiled does not follow any order of preference. The albums are organized alphabetically by artist. In my opinion, every album on this list is of great interest. I decided to include a few U.S. albums, though I had to leave out many other deserving ones, as well as three Italian albums that ...

I Dischi del 2024 secondo Ludovico Granvassu

by Ludovico Granvassu
January 2, 2025

Spesso molti articoli sulle “migliori uscite dell'anno" iniziano con una premessa quasi apologetica ("questi non sono necessariamente 'i migliori album dell'anno,' ma 'i miei preferiti';" “è tutto soggettivo;" “domani avrei scelto titoli diversi;" “ho potuto selezionare solo dieci album," ecc.)? Queste dichiarazioni sembrano riflettere il disagio del redattore, costretto a riassumere un vasto ecosistema artistico selezionando ...

Ludovico Granvassu's Garden of Jazzy Delights 2024

by Ludovico Granvassu
December 31, 2024

Have you noticed how many “best of the year" listicles start with an apologetic preamble ("these are not necessarily 'the best albums of the year' but 'my favorites';" “it's all subjective;" “tomorrow I might have chosen different titles;" “I could only select ten albums" etc.)? Those disclaimers channel the writer's discomfort of having to summarize a ...

I dischi del 2024 secondo Libero Farnè

by Libero Farnè
December 26, 2024

La lista che ho stilato non segue alcun ordine di preferenza. I dischi sono quindi organizzati in ordine alfabetico, per artista. A mio parere ogni album in questa lista è di grande interesse. Ho deciso di selezionare alcuni album statunitensi, ma ne ho sacrificati molti altri molto meritevoli, e tre album italiani che ritengo meritevoli di ...

Troy Dostert's Best Jazz Albums Of 2024

by Troy Dostert
December 12, 2024

Another year of first-rate creative jazz is in the books, along with another impossible set of choices in assembling a top-10 list. These are some of the standouts, in a year in which trios and quartets were especially prominent, taking advantage of the unparalleled opportunities for close collaboration that smaller ensembles provide. My favorites are listed ...

Steve Coleman and Five Elements: PolyTropos / Of Many Turns

Read "PolyTropos / Of Many Turns" reviewed by Troy Dostert

by Troy Dostert
December 10, 2024

Perpetually churning rhythms, telepathic detours, unexpected juxtapositions: these are the stock-in-trade of Steve Coleman's Five Elements. And once again the intrepid alto saxophonist's inimitable approach surfaces on PolyTropos / Of Many Turns, a generous, two-disc helping of music that manages to be both intricately complex and fundamentally accessible at the same time. With two live dates ...
