This is Part 6 of my 8 part series of the Best of 2023 according to jazz aficionados. And I take the liberty for this episode of playing tracks from 9 of my own personal favourites.

And it turns out that one of the albums is even a 2024 grammy winner. Who’d have thought?

I’m interested in hearing how any of them resonate with you, the listener.

I also invite those of you who enjoy this podcast to post a review on itunes, or wherever you listen to your podcasts. Thank you!
