Best Jazz of 2019 with Jazz Notes Jim Dupuis
Contributor and Host of Kamloops' Jazz Notes rounds up his favourite international and local Jazz releases of 2019

Mingwa - The Strange One
...a great album that really stretches what world music can be, and seamlessly blends many styles of music.

The Shangs - Golden Hits of the Shangs
...the band had another side gig going on all the while. Starting in 1990, The Shangs were a psychedelic pop off-shoot that sound very little like the main project Simply Saucer.

Alex Cuba Sublime
...a great album that will fit fine into Canadian summers lounging around on the beach.

Cutting Your Teeth With Necking
Vancouver's new punk rock heros play on the Studio 6 Live Sssions. By CJSF Radio and Magnus Thyvold
