The albums we collectively felt were the best of 2024 (technically from Thanksgiving 2023 to Thanksgiving 2024) show a beautiful range of diverse voices. I don\u2019t think any of us consciously chose our albums based on identifiers like race, gender, or nationality. The fact it is replete with musicians from around the globe – from Australia, Brazil, Ethiopia, Israel, Mexico, Spain, and the United States, among others – speaks to the way the musical form has proliferated and, to some extent, obliterated cross-cultural divides. A pleasant – though long overdue- surprise was the number of female artists in our list. This is probably the first year where all of our top three were albums by a female leader or co-leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our list below, ties are ordered alphabetically by the leader\u2019s last name. Following the list are honorable mentions; recordings – including archival ones – that multiple members of our small group thought worthy of merit but did not make our collective top ten. We are excited to again have friends and journalists Jim Hynes and Anthony Dean-Harris – check out his awesome radio show on KMHD – return for it as well. \u2014 Rob Shepherd<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
