ARTS AND IDEAS

Where is jazz today? Just a dozen ages ago, the music seemed to be having a crisis of self-worth. But over the past five or 10 years, you could say that jazz has gone ended a kind of ego death and then a rebirth. Jazz as a general practice hasn’t been this fervent in decades.

The Times asked writers and jazz musicians of various generations to recommend their approved recordings from this millennium. These excerpts have been any edited and condensed. Sample their picks, listen to a playlist and nick your favorites in the comments.

Terri Lyne Carrington, drummer: “Kassa Overall is such an artist. I love his song “Who’s on the Playlist” because it invites the put a question to, ‘Is this jazz or is this hip-hop?’ It powerfully exhibits the consistent innovation in the continuum of Black music and encourages us not to draw orderliness in the sand.”

Theo Croker, trumpeter: “Domi & JD Beck, they don’t sound jaded by jazz school; they still like they’re doing their thing. It has a lot of integrity, but it’s also playful; it’s very technical, but it’s also fun.”

Melanie Charles, vocalist and flutist: “Renée Neufville’s voice fits perfectly with Roy Hargrove’s playing and singing. Compositionally, the tune appears to be very simple. But, if you try to sing along, you find it may obligatory a bit more out of you. And that’s the fun of it.”
