Not really my cup of tea/mildly annoying. Still I liked the CD overall.

Charles Lloyd, Sacred Thread (Blue Note)

Detroit Artists Workshop (Strut)

The tuba thread is missing Tuba Skinny.

This one is highly enjoyable: French Movies

Elvin Jones, Live at Pookie's Pub (Blue Note)

Herb Ellis, Man with the Guitar (Dot)

Favorite new to me jazz musician discoveries in 2022: Mahmoud Chouki: Guitarist from Morocco, now based in New Orleans. Debut performance at 2022 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival with his New World Ensemble was fantastic. Selene Saint-Aime: Bandcamp discovery. AFro-French bassist/singer. Both of her CDs are wonderful.

Lenny Breau (Direct Disk Labs)

Nick Brignola, Baritone Madness, The Complete Bee Hive Sessions (Mosaic)

Winnipeg 70

There have been some more additions showing up on the website, specifically Brandee Younger and Etran de L'Air. So this year features the most African bands they have had at this festival in one year: Bassekou Kouyate, Amadou & Miriam, Sona Jobarteh, and Etran de L'Air.
