The best of 2023

Drum great Mark Guiliana and his quartet in concert and more J to Z highlights.

Your gateway to the best in jazz 鈥� past, present and future. Jumok茅 Fashola, Julian Joseph and Kevin Le Gendre share some of their favourite albums and live moments of 2023, including music from modern drum great Mark Guiliana and his quartet, recorded on the J to Z Presents stage at the London Jazz Festival.

Looking further back, they also share some highlights from the J to Z archive 鈥� including an intimate studio session with piano legend Kenny Barron and a storming live set from the father of Ethio Jazz, Mulatu Astatke, with the Hackney Colliery Band. We also hear a moving interview with trumpet great Roy Hargrove, recorded shortly before his death in 2018. In it, Roy offers deep insights into tracks that meant something to him, along with advice for the next generation of musicians.
