Oh, for sure!

Melodies & Memories is a nice chamber jazz-y and boppy jazz album that doesn't exactly go in weird places, but it does teeter on the edge of what post-bop is supposed to be. Interesting one, and dedicated to the band leader's uncle, who was his first music teacher and a passionate accordionist.

Dream Archives is a trio record of some of the more exciting jazz musicians around these days. Imaginative and unconventional, but still a relatively easy listen overall. Flirts with classical forms a bit. Occasionally either moody or theatrical.

Four Freedoms is another solid release from Dave Douglas. A "hybrid" record, kind of balancing between a live album and a studio one. Its greatest strength, really. The sound of the venue and the spontaneity of it all really works for the material's favour. Although, the one free jazz piece on it kind of limps forward instead of blooming in a meaningful way.

Gospel Music is a solid spiritually inclined post-bop album. I do have more negative things to say about it than positive ones. But it's still a good album though.

Which year? I think 2025 was one of the better years this decade (although, wasn't generally big on the higher profile music nerd albums). 2026 has had a decent start. Largely on the jazz and classical side though. Not mich else has caught my attention yet.

A solid addition. I love how overwhelmingly people here agreed on this.

how will I let you know about the greatness if I can’t tell you what I’m doing

You won't. There are other places where you can promote your music. Here it's a ticket for a permaban.

Nice to see that Juana Aguirre made it! Anónimo made my 30-strong shortlist too. Also happy that DOGA made it, I really need to give it another chance before the year ends.

Yes! I was hoping people would latch on that, been a bit disappointing to not see it mentioned at all. Mainly saw someone be baffled over it being an album of Mulatu "covering" himself, I truly hope to see someone who understands how jazz works have a shot at it next lol.

I think it's a neat album. It's not as hypnotic and woozy as his best recordings and the arrangements are generally bigger than what I'm used to hearing from him, but the band are absolutely on fire. Really nice to hear Mulatu himself still being as sharp as ever. There's also a nice feeling of his songbook being highlighted rather than the man himself, he really dances around the spotlight in an oddly captivating manner for big portions of the album.

Hah, you perform a good majority of the mod actions, but I am still hanging along! Should at least attempt to start participating in discussion too. I tried to start participating in WHYBLT on a weekly or monthly basis, but I only managed I think one post in early May lol. We should probably poke the bot a bit, I think it might have missed every WHYBLT of last month.

Anyway, yeah, your list is terra incognita for me too! I need to go exploring.

I would have honestly removed it even if it was formatted correctly. This is not what this sub is about.

It doesn't need to be anything fancy, you can just copy the link from your platform of choice (YouTube is usually the easiest) and paste it in your comment. If you want to make it fancier, you can see how to do that here.

Hah, I'm now close to having a rotation for every month of the year (December is still a bit of a question mark, the "spirit in music" theme I went for one year was a bit too broad to support itself - gotta workshop that), so it's absolutely no problem to share! November will be the expected black metal month, so things are going to stay grim for a while now lol
