We may regret missing out on the time when some of our jazz idols were building the foundation of the music we love, but we can still fantasize about them. We are lucky, however, to live at a time when there is a number of modern masters in action. One of them is trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, for whom 2023 was a remarkable year. Here we focus on the wide range of releases he has worked on, as well as on those of other adventurous musicians.

Happy listening!
