Here’s a Best of 2019 list featuring favorites from this year’s new releases – along with some albums that were just new to me.
We find John Coltrane on the cusp of a breakthrough with ‘A Love Supreme,’ with perhaps his best ensemble of musicians ever.
John Coltrane’s ‘Interstellar Space,’ released 45 years ago this month, is just one of jazz’s greatest final recordings.
Here is S. Victor Aaron’s Best of 2018 list for modern and mainstream jazz releases.
The long-forgotten ‘Both Directions at Once, The Lost Album’ is nonetheless as gratifying as many other John Coltrane albums from the Impulse! era; indeed, it holds its own against the entire, history-making discography.
What you get when DeJohnette combines with guys named Coltrane and Garrison doesn’t exactly square up with the mental picture (or rather, mental music) most jazzbos might imagine when those three names are put together. Nonetheless, ‘In Movement’ is no less gratifying.
This goes much farther out than the celebrated rock music of its time.
