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. I felt a listlessness about even completing this list, yet the need to communicate was still there. The need for completeness (in a task that can never be completed) still gnaws at me.

Nextbop’s Favorite Jazz Albums of 2016

December 14, 2016 By Anthony Dean-Harris

There's no universal theme or overall consensus in jazz this year.

Vijay Iyer Trio at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Full Concert Video)

May 7, 2015 By Sébastien Hélary

Since the inception of this site in 2009, pianist Vijay Iyer has been on a tear producing album after album of deeply compelling, intricate, powerful and addictive music, each time one-upping himself in terms of magistery and mastery of his instrument. To reward the breadth of his work, the virtuoso was awarded in 2013 a MacArthur fellowship, earning him the official title of … [Read more...]
