Caroline Davis – “Wingbeat” (Video)

Anthony Dean-Harris’ Favorite Jazz Albums of 2016

December 20, 2016 By Anthony Dean-Harris

I had love and specific passion this year. I felt more detached, as many of my dispatches have noted over the last year but particularly in this week of assessment.

In essence, we trust Max Jaffe around these parts to make always interesting music, so … [Read more...]

Nextbop/The Art of Cool Project’s Favorite Jazz Albums of 2013, #20-12

December 19, 2013 By Anthony Dean-Harris

One major reason why I so enjoy this time at the end of the year is not only to reassess what this past year has looked like musically, not only to be able to look at a multitude of truly great works from great artists and say stuff like "oh, wow, Darcy James Argue gave us another album this year" or "hey, Wayne Shorter came back to Blue Note" and "how do David Weiss and Point … [Read more...]
