Curt's Jazz Cafe

 Thanks again to all who have read my two posts on the best jazz albums of 2009. I admit I made it a bit difficult for everyone by splitting the list in two. Therefore, as a “public service”, here is the complete list, excluding my comments, in one post. As before, they are listed in alphabetical order, by album title. 

There is also one addition to this final list: Jeff “Tain” Watts’ explosive, Watts. My leaving it off either of the two lists, which was due simply to Holiday season brain overload, was a near criminal act.

So here they all are:

 Honorable Mentions:

 Tracks from all of these CDs will be featured on Curt’s Café WebJazz Radio, daily from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. (EST), through January 16, 2010, on our Best Jazz of 2009 special.  Click here to listen now.  We’re also adding fresh tracks from familiar and not so familiar artists, to start the new decade off right. 

Our next scheduled post will kick off our CD reviews column, which will feature reviews of new and recently reissued jazz discs, expect to see that post on or around January 3, 2010.

Best wishes for a Happy New Year, to all. I hope you can start the year off right by going out to hear some good, live jazz.  If not, buy or legally download a jazz album, performed by an artist you aren’t familiar with. Start the New Year off in a spirit of discovery.

 Until the next time, the jazz continues…
