2022 was determined to beat me up and take my lunch money. My day job location permanently shut down and I had a solid month where I was unsure where and if I was being transferred. I started school again after swearing I was done forever, this time for library and information science. My own album came out on a label and everything. I had a book come out. A bunch of other stuff has been going on as well both terrible and great but it’s all culminated in being spread way too thin to write that many articles this year. Sorry, guys. We’ll see how 2023 goes. The good news is, there’s plenty of great music that came out this year and I’ve got 10 offerings for you today, as usual presented in no particular order and with no particular constraints in regards to genre. There’s a wide world of music out there. Deny yourself nothing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Nduduzo Makhathini<\/strong> – In the Spirit of Ntu<\/em>
\nBlue Note<\/p>\n

The first offering from Blue Note Africa imprint, Makhathini’s\u00a0In the Spirit of Ntu<\/em> is fresh and profound. The record folds in all the various cultural influences of South Africa into a rich tapestry informed by the vibrant jazz scene both in South Africa and worldwide. Makhathini is a veteran pianist now, with 10 albums under his belt, but In the Spirit of Ntu<\/em> is probably the best entry point I can imagine for this incredible artist.<\/p>\n
