As every year, editor of the worthy ALL ABOUT JAZZ (https://www.allaboutjazz.com/) John Kelman writes a list of his favourite albums. Introducing it, he explains:
And so, like last year, I figured I'd throw in a top ten (well, eleven) for jazz and beyond (meaning: anything else), including a mix of new releases and reissues/archival finds. But to let folks know that this lists barely scratches the surface of all the music I've been privileged to hear this year—and that, as ever, there are far more "best of" titles than even my previously large lists included—I'll also add, at the end, for anyone interested, a whack of releases would have been reviewed, had it been possible.
So, bearing that in mind, first up are just a few of the top recorded events in jazz and beyond for 2018 (in alphabetical order):
And now, those two additional lists of 2018 releases that I couldn't get around to reviewing, but sure wish I could have. Again, in alphabetical order, every one of these is top-drawer, regardless of genre, and worthy of attention:
