Mark F. Turner's Best Releases of 2016
By
Another year of outstanding releases which not only unveiled new artists but also fresh material from those I've admired over many years. While the roots of jazz were formed during the music diaspora from Africa to America its branches are continually grafting and evolvingartistically, culturally, and geographically as musicians and composers find creative ways to express the music. As usual, the task is arduous but here are my picks for 2016.
Logan Richardson Shift Blue Note | Mike Baggetta Spectre Fresh Sound New Talent | Myra Melford / Ben Goldberg Dialogue Self Produced |
Esperanza Spalding Emily's D+Evolution Concord Music Group | Twin Talk Twin Talk ears&eyes Records | Richard Sears Altadena Ropeadope |
Jason Palmer / Cedric Hanriot City Of Poets Whirlwind Recordings | Nate Wooley Argonautica Firehouse 12 Records | Beekman Beekman Vol. 02 Ropeadope |
Kris Davis Duopoly Pyroclastic Records | Tyshawn Sorey The Inner Spectrum of Variables Pi Recordings | James Brandon Lewis Trio No Filter BNS Records |
