This year was rich with new discoveries. I heard a lot of amazing old records but, I also came across a lot of exciting new tracks. For this list, I revisited all of the “current” records, CDs, and MP3s that I bought in 2009. You won’t find any vintage Jazz or reissued classics on this list, however, there is at least one remake of an old standard (Emanative’s “Naima”) and a slew of other tracks that will make you wonder which decade we’re really heading towards.
Here’s a partial playlist for your amusement (30/50):
Crème de la Crème
Carlos Niño & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson “Fall in Love” [Mochilla]
SA-RA Creative Partners “Cosmic Ball” [Ubiquity]
Matthew Halsall “Colour Yes” [Gondwana]
Alister Johnson “Invitation” [Wah Wah 45s]
Moodymann “Freeki Mutha Fucka” [Mahogani Music]
