There was some amazing music released in 2023, and a new year’s first episode of One Man’s Jazz usually focuses on those albums. (The full list is here). Might as well keep that string going, so enjoy, maybe consider supporting these artists with a purchase or two, or compare with the multitude of similar compilations. There’s also a brand new album previewed – alto saxophonist Patrick Bartley’s “First Songs (Bonus Tracks)”. I have a feeling you’ll be hearing more from him in the future.
All of these recordings can be found at bandcamp.com, except for Irreversible Entanglements. You’ll find that one here.
