"I went hard on my favorite jazz albums of 2024 so this one will be a little lighter on my words. Not to worry, however – there was so much fantastic music this year that I’ve doubled this list to include twenty favorites as well. (It still might be too long for email so open in a new window if you must!) I could have made a case for slotting a handful of these on the jazz list but for one reason or another, I made my decisions and we’ll leave it at that. Genre labels are fluid and fleeting and useful for categorizing but can be a burden, too. I close every annual list intro with the following: please buy music that moves you and support artists directly. Love to everyone!"
