Jazz im Netz – Hotspots – Besprechungen

Ein sehr ereignisreiches Jahr, und wieder sehr viele sehr gute Aufnahmen, die zu sortieren und für sich gewinnbringend zu kategorisieren sich verbietet – sie stehen schlichtweg für sich und weisen doch einmal mehr über sich selbst hinaus. Vorneweg erscheinen mir die Alben von Kris Davis, Charles Lloyd, Patrica Brennan und Darius Jones herausragend, bei denen kam das Glück hinzu, sie livehaftig erleben zu dürfen – grandios, famos und gerne wieder.

There are bands where every album is a step into the unknown. There are others whose development is a reliable and consistent expansion of their terrain. The latter applies to the Icelandic musicians’ collective ADHD.
