t would have been practical, nice, and better done if you put in links the albums in links for listening and purchase! as other channels like yours do.

Excellent list 🔥

That loop was awesome! Scratch DJ probably did it on purpose. lol.

Great choices yet again thank you have a great new year🎉🎉

I have just discovered your channel as a lover of good music I have subscribed and hope to hear more from you in 2025. Respect from Northern Spain

Vers Nice thanks beautiful discoveries❤

Jasmine Myra is my discovery of the year. Both her albums are great 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing the other albums!

Big thanks! My top three albums right now? Jeff Parker, Svaneborg Kardyb, and Walter Smith III. Each one brings something special-innovative, soulful, and deeply inspiring. Highly recommend diving into their music!

Wow! These are great picks. I had only heard of two of them. So glad I clicked on your video. All of these are right up my alley. Thanks!

The Journey by Matteo Mancuso. Fusion Jazz. Top. Moonlight by Drift Lab. Top.

Many thanks for the Tommaso Cappellato recommendation. He was a new one for me, and he has a very interesting and varied ten album discography on Spotify.

thanks Holy Paul

I use a SPIN CARE record manual cleaner filled with just distilled water. For drying I use a suitably sized piece of MDF, covered with a clean (small) towel. The micro fibre cloth that came with the cleaning machine is like nothing I've used before. It gets the record thoroughly dry. Occasionaly, I wiil discover a record that's a bit noisy (especially on the outer and inner grooves and between tracks). To fix this, I spray a tiny amount of furniture polish onto a clean surface (my coffee table) and taking a standard micro fibre cloth, wrapped around my finger, I gently dip it into the polish and apply it to the record. It works like dream! NB: We would use furniture polish in the car body repair shop where I use to work. The instructor at the body repair college I attended, told us that funiture polish is a micro-fine abrasive, and because it is mixed with silicon, when applied to vinyl care, it leaves an ultra clean, smooth and noise free surface. Magic. I've been a vinyl enthusiast since 1973.

Would be better if you had listed these titles in the description.

Lovely to see Jasmine Myra on there, saw her last year absolutely fantastic!

cool!!

Thanks for posting this. I'm enjoying these selections. ..Subscribed,

I'm not sure if I heard you correctly, but you said the saxophone is one of the last wooden instruments to be invented? I think you mean last instrument of the woodwind family, which is slightly different. BTW, if you enjoy the Jeff Parker, you'll certainly enjoy the Anna Butterss album (Jeff Parker's bassist).

Where's the list? 😅

Great reviews for 2024 you put together superb video and left us with many many hours of enjoyable listening! Thank you and many blessings to you and your family !!

My vote goes for the fifth and last Greg Foat release of the year, The Rituals of Infinity. Brilliant stuff, he is a wonderful talent.

Thanks Paul…great selection. Glad Lonnie Liston Smith made it up there…certainly up to and including ‘Renaissance’ I would classify as Spiritual Jazz Funk…the best of which in my opinion is the sublime, laid back and heavenly ‘Visions of A New World’ …a special vibe.

For me it's : Misha Panfilov "Atlântico" JJ Whitefield and Forced Meditation " The infinty of nothingness ". Greetings from Lille.

Thanks a lot, great - and very informative - video!

Thanks Paul ❤

Jazz is a music rooted in the African American experience yet judging from your selections the black roots are completely ignored and we have literal white bread bland artist playing commercial junk. Lo and behold not one black artist. Banal congeniality

Europe seems to be putting out a lot more new jazz than the US. I bought no new jazz this year and the reason why is my #1 Jazz channel for new jazz didn’t put out many videos- Paul. You always find some of the grooviest albums. I did not know Foat even put out an album, let alone 4. I will be checking all of these out as I really like the grooves. Paul, I hope to hear more from you next year, you cost me a lot of money but I love your ear for cool music

Love Jeff Parker! Very special artist, both his previous projects dedicated to his mother and his father are lovely

Thanks Paul, love your selection, anything that Halsall is involved with is beautiful (I wish I could make YT videos as good as yours!) All the best from UK, thanks

as an occasional jazz listener i am pleased to check out your choices - nice presentation

Greg Foat is a genius! I love his previous gems, "Sapphire Dreams", "Electric Dreams 1" and "Unconditional Love".😊😊😊😊

Hello Do you have list of your sélection? Thanks

As much as I enjoyed Misha Panfilov's live albums this year...I enjoyed Frutaria Electronica the most. But for jazz album of the year...that goes to Alan Braufman Infinite Love Infinite Tears!

Wow! Awesome listing here Paul👏🏻not to give anything away .... for me the stand outs you showed are 2,3 and 9! Nine I truly was feeling a groove I need to delve further into....cheers and again happy Christmas and happy New year 🎊

So strangely enough, i totally loved the Misha Paniflov live album. These were my favourites this year 1. Misha Paniflov - Live in Stockholm 2. Bill Laurance and Michael League - Where You Wish You Were. 3. Corto Alto 30/108 4. Finn Rees - Dawn Is A Melody.

Thank you so much. I had only heard Jasmine Myra in this list. Now i have weeks of great music to explore. Keep sharing your love for music, it's so wonderful.

Thanks for all the great videos over the years. Your passion for this kinda music always shines through and inspires me to seek out new sounds. Cheers 🥂

What is your favorite jazz album of 2024? Comment here, and let's build together the ultimate jazz vinyl list.

First, thank you for your time, your dedication, and the information you shared. Any recommendations for filtering water? I have tried using a coffee filter, but I'm not sure and it's slow. What type of strainer or mesh would be best for the water in the tank?

I've been waiting for months for your list sir. I'm still listening to Poetic Justice, Feathers and Sunborn from last year's list. Thank you

Hi Paul, great, you are back! Walter Bishop was my fav here, I have never ever seen Texier rec in Finland. Is that new Kuja on the wall? Greetings.

HE'S BACK BABY🎉🎉🎉🎉

Had the odyssey album for quite some time. Very nice 👍

Paul, as I mentioned when you commented on my video I really missed your videos. These were some really funky jazz albums. The Fisher album was top notch and I also like the groove on the first album, The Call. They all had your signature funk groovy sound. You are still Funk Brother #1 .

The Call sounds like it is my sweet spot when it comes to Jazz. The Fender Rhodes from the late 60s early 70s is magical. The only Walter Bishop are the Black Jazz released.

Super selections Paul - the Roy Ayers and William Fischer are fairly recent finds for me too - I would love a copy of the Odyssey album - I only have a seven inch - I love that blend of early seventies funk, jazz, soul and folk too

Henri Texier wow ! Thank you and great video.

The Texier is fantastic. I have his first three LPs. He plays contrebasse on the album Claude Barthelemy - Jaune Et Encore on the Cobalt label. Cheap Heat.
