best-of-2019
Alice, alice, alice
One of the best song I listen to this year, most expensive record I bought this year. Alice, Pharoah, Joe, Ron & Beny still blazing 49 years later.
Young, young Marco
One of the more solid LPs this year. Eclecticism for sure, but on the right side of "too smart"
Gol-e Gandom, Lloyd Miller
At last some of the Lloyd Miller records getting reissued. 2018 we got Jazz At The University Of Utah and this year the beast Orien tal jazz, right now only in that trappy VMP-version, but getting proper release early next year. And not to foreget the compilation a lifetime in oriental jazz became easy to get again.
Woebot, still after all these years.
A half lifetime ago woebot did that 100 records list that was the real deal. Somewhere a long the way I lost track of what he was d oing, but back on track now. He released an e-book with his writings from the recent years. Refreshing and a bit sad, but foremost its real writing about music, missed that a lot.
Floating Points
Floating Points have released a great album under his own name, done superb NTS takeover and on top of that has his Eglo Records release d Natural Sci-Fi by Steve Spacek
Ozzy - Regndansen
The song thats sticks out from the new Ozzy album. Amazing angular rap with a rawer production that the rest of the album. Cream of the crop of swedish hiphop.
Bertil Strandberg Kvintett - Cirrus
Lovely spritit jazz recorded in Örnsköldsvik 1973, impossible to get your hands on until Fredriksberg Records released a vinyl reissue this September.
Halsall - Oneness
Album of songs recorded from 2008 and onwards. Upon that Mathew Halsall reissued “Color Yes” and “Send me love” for the first time on vinyl. Strong year for Halsall
Bremer/McCoy - Utopia
Jazz-ish from Denmark, mellow and beautiful, could have been released ten years ago on Häpna
