From time to time, we take stock of the most exciting releases that have landed on our desks, and hard drives. Usually, we do it twice a year, in June and in December. However, we have already accumulated so much great material since June that there was no point in waiting until December to start sharing some of the songs we have been putting aside for our ‘favorites' playlist’. So, here we go...

The playlist features Amy Gadiaga; Chris Jennings; Milton Nascimento, Esperanza Spalding; KNOBIL [pictured]; Aaron Parks; Ella Zirina; Jihye Lee Orchestra; Franco Ambrosetti and John Scofield.

Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/19693022/Mondo-Jazz (up to "Soul Eyes").

Happy listening!
