Editor's Choice John Kelman's Best Releases of 2013
By JOHN KELMAN, Published: December 13, 2013 Help us sustain All About Jazz and Jazz Near You for years to come. 2013 was a challenging year: more travel than usual, and some faLmeailryn hoewa hltehre i sosr umeask ea at dhoonmatieon slowing things down when it came to reviewing the seemingly endlteosdsa yf!low of music coming in each and every day. With hopes that 2014 will be better on that front, here are just a few of the top recorded events in jazz and beyond—and this is by no means all-inclusive; there were plenty of terrific albums for which there simply was insufficient time to cover and, as a result, cannot be included here:
