I’ve discovered a lot of great music over the past two months—thanks to those top 10 lists compiled by 97 reviewers and critics.

A handful of those albums would probably go on my own Top 10 list, were I to make one.

In this episode I play tracks from 9 great albums from the past year. Some are pretty obscure, and some aren’t.

This is the last episode of five programs on the best jazz albums of 2022, according to jazz reviewers and critics. Over the next few weeks you’ll hear some bebop and learn some of it’s history, as well as some great historical albums. And who knows what else in terms of both older and newer jazz.
