2023 has been a great year for my tastes so far! I see people only listing 1 album, but for me, in the genres and subgenres I listen to, there have been many more than just 1 release that I'd consider the best of 2023. This will be all new music, no reissues Jazz: Dominic Miller - Vagabond / Great acoustic guitar lead quartet on the ECM label, Amoeba Split - Quiet Euphoria / This is killer modern jazz-fusion, with some Canterbury prog mixed.in Bob Mazurek & Exploding Star Orchestra - Lightning Dreamers / A bit of Sun Ra, The Art Ensemble of Chicago, electric Miles, add up to some pretty original sounding progressive jazz. Wadada Leo Smith - Fire Illuminations / At times this sounds a bit like Bitches Brew, at least in spirit. Organic Pulse Ensemble - A Thousand Hands / Swedish band, with a modern take on 'spiritual' jazz. Some really world class musicianship on this. The Heavy Hitters - S/T / Some of the best of the current NY scene, team up for this straight ahead post-bop recording. Recorded in Rudy Van Gelders studio. Janel Leppin / Ensemble Volcanic Ash / Great chamber-jazz ensemble. Very creative. Prog: Eyeless Owl - Murmurations / Complex prog and math-rock. Sometimes it crosses into chamber-prog territory. Zopp - Dominion / Very good Canterbury style prog from England (Soft Machine, National Health, etc) Free Human Zoo - The Mysterious Island / Extremely good Zeuhl style prog (Magma influenced) from France. Amazing musicianship by all members. Billie Bottle's Temple of Shibboleth - S/T / Hard to classify. Jazz, prog, avant-garde, with some pop sensibilities. Quite unique.
