Brian Kiwanuka’s Favorite Non-Jazz Albums of 2017

December 26, 2017 By Brian Kiwanuka

Maybe it’s not saying much, as I feel like I have been coming to this conclusion often yearly, but there were some truly fantastic records released this year. It would be a bit dishonest if I didn’t mention that as someone who fell in love with music through hip-hop, the genre is definitely the one that I keep up with the most.

They just released the … [Read more...]

Anthony Dean-Harris’ Favorite Jazz Releases of 2014

December 18, 2014 By Anthony Dean-Harris

As l look back at the albums I loved most this year, I realized the importance of being swept up. There's intellectual noodling and the need to keep attention; there's creating new ideas and reforming old ones; there's high and lows in energy, but what I loved the most this year wasn't just the creating of interesting artistic work but if that work is done so well, the music … [Read more...]
