End of the year wrap up time! Please feel free to share your favorite music of the year in the comments. Jazz When I read reviews of Makaya McCraven’s In These Times I thought it sounded like something I would like and bought it immediately. I was right—it’s exactly the kind of contemporary jazz that I enjoy. I lack the musical vocabulary to really describe it, but I feel like McCraven builds tracks that have some elements of modern dance music or more ambient/experimental music, and then allows his fellow musicians to shine with melodies and solos. His drumming is also really fantastic, without the sense that everything else has to stop in order for him to take a “drum solo.”
