Lawrence Peryer's Jazz & Beyond for 2024

I very much enjoy the moment we are in for improvisatory and creative music. So many traditions are coming into contact and interacting with each other: jazz cats, indigenous practitioners, electronic music experimenters, modern composers and many others. The breakdown and blurring of genre divides and dogma is something I revel in. "Collision Music," to quote the great Bill Laswell.

At the risk of missing some gems I have loved throughout the year, let's call this "some of my favorites."
