As usual, the first show of a new year focuses on the host’s favourite recordings played on One Man’s Jazz in the previous year, so let’s keep a good thing going. 2021 was an exceptional year for music despite the travails of the pandemic and the serious effect it’s had on the music biz. Hats off to the musicians and record labels who persevered and got some great music out there. All of the albums in this show are 2021 favourites. Go to this page for descriptions and album links.
