Jazzwise Albums of the Year 2023
"With the world still recovering from the traumas of the pandemic – now overshadowed by two bloody wars, not to mention the ever-worsening climate crisis – it’s little wonder there’s a deep sense of catharsis, reflection and experimentation running through Jazzwise's 2023 Albums of the Year.
Topping the New Releases chart, Joshua Redman’s collaborative album spotlights the beguiling vocals of Gabrielle Cavassa and provides a necessary and bewitching balm in troubled times. It struck a chord with many writers – as did the daring creativity of three extraordinary women musicians: Cécile McLorin Salvant, Lakecia Benjamin and the sadly-departed Jaimie Branch. Shakti’s swansong too, is a memorable example of their transcendent, unique take on Indo-jazz fusion.
It is perhaps inevitable that the newlydiscovered live recordings of Coltrane and Dolphy came out on top in our writers' Reissues/Archive chart, but the Stan Tracey Quartet’s timeless take on Dylan Thomas’ play Under Milk Wood is a deserved runner-up, while longawaited reissue sets from Sonny Clark, Woody Shaw and Dorothy Ashby are all worthy top five finishers." — Jon Newey and Mike Flynn
