Who Created the Best Jazz of 2016?

Connecticut Public Radio | By Chion Wolf

Published December 27, 2016 at 1:00 PM EST

Every year, an all-star panel of musicians and critics join the show to go through a painfully short list of the best jazz of the year. Will this year be vocalist-heavy? Any repeat winners, or any newcomers? Is there an overall sound to the year?

GUESTS:

Gene Seymour - Film, television, and music critic
Jen Allen - Pianist and composer, whose latest album is Pieces of Myself
Noah Baerman - Pianist, educator, author, and composer, whose latest album is Ripples

Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Colin McEnroe and Jonathan McNicol contributed to this show.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
