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.
