The Best Records of 2023

[club_pizzazz]

Unreal how good this sounds

[rj9]

Maybe not a top release but certainly noteworthy. Super talented group of musicians. His first on Blue Note.

[aangen]

This seems nice.

[RonP]

I have to look this one up.

[Dignan2000]

Cécile McLorin Salvant’s “Mélusine.” The vinyl album was released in March (digital might have been released in 2022?). Definitely the best new album in 2023 for me.

@elettro I really like Memento Mori.

[elettro]

Very nice, recommended

Live at Wembley 1974, amazing sound for a '74 show.

[tuladct]

Another retro release, but another favorite of the year, remixed by Steven Wilson

[elettro]

[RonP]

One of my favorites.
Room ambiance and his vibrato, especially on rapid passages, is first rate.

[jazznut]

This is the record set of all times.

[RonP]

Not released in 2023, but one of my favorite purchases of 2023.
This is Jim Hall with truly brilliant guests.
I stream it but i wish I could find a mint copy LP. My LP is a bit noisy.

[elettro]

King Tuff - Smalltown Stardust

@RonP

My LP is a bit noisy.

Bring your LP to Axpona with you and let Kirmuss restore it for you.

[RonP]

I used my friend’s Kirmuss. After an absurdly long, laborious process, following the arm-long instructions, it did nothing.

[jazznut]

I feel sorry for everyone who followed him.

[paul172]

Sorry to hear. Good to know tho
