What were your top musical discoveries of 2024?


Looking for music that was new to you and your collection that lit you and your system up last year.

Here’s my list:

Vinyl - 

UHQR version of Steely Dan “Asia”

Original Master Recording of Grateful Dead’s “Workingman’s Dead”

Digital files - 

Mac Miller “Circles”

Iron & Wine “The Shepherds Dog”

Jacob Collier “Djesse Vol.2”

Mokave “Afrique”

Skrillex “Quest for Fire”

Beyonce “Cowboy Carter”

CD -

Sinead O’Conner “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got”

 

This is at least what is top of mind.

Antonio Forcione Quartet Live

Sophie Zelmani Live in China

BRENT Lewis Drumsex

I have so many discovered on Qobuz I can’t even list them all.  The thought that came to mind is how sad it is for those who continue to live in streaming denial as I l wouldn’t have found most of my treasured new discoveries without it.

Great call on Muriel Grossman!

You should also check out Ingrid Laubrock. I think she is a better composer.

Checkout "The Last Quiet Space".

Suzanne Ciani - "Golden apples of the Sun" and "Improvisation on four sequences"

Pauline Anna Strom - "Plot Zero"

Khruangbin and Leon Bridges - "Texas Moon"

Ray Lamontagne - "Long way Home"

Scott Lavene - "Milk City Sweethearts" and "Broke"

John Grant - (all of his stuff)
