Jazz 2021

 

I don't do these year-end jazz mixes every year. Most of the time I'm just too lazy. I don't keep close track of what came out and what I liked. At some point this year I started tossing individual tracks into a playlist and that helped me remember what I enjoyed in 2021.

So here's my Jazz 2021 mix. It is by no means a "Best of" mix. It's merely a collection of jazz-ish tracks from albums I liked this year. And of course some of the tunes lean a bit toward ambient.

Cheers!

  1. I hate to break it to you Dave but for something assembled you say without much thought, this came out pretty good. There is some track over-exhaustion, like I discuss in Best of 2021 part 2, (aka the unprecedented 13 minute opening), but not a bad listening hour.
