Here are my favorite releases of the year in alphabetical order. I’m skewing jazz these days, and I am slightly biased towards artists I’ve been lucky enough to see live. Another caveat: there will likely be a handful of additional 2022 releases trickling into my collection in the coming week. Pictured here is my listening buddy, Fern.
