The year was rich in strong and variable releases and unfortunately I still didn't listen to everything what I feel can be really interesting from new releases. For my taste, most attractive music in 2017 came from two jazz subgenres - modern composition combined with freer improvs and still developing European nu jazz

1. Vijay Iyer - Far From Over

2. Phronesis - The Behemoth

3. Craig Taborn - Daylight Ghosts

4. Wadada Leo Smith - Najwa

5. Craig Taborn / Ikue Mori - Highsmith

Quite satisfying year for the jazz i like, in no particular order:

Lars Danielson - Liberetto |||

Anouar Brahem - Blue Makams

Tingvall Trio - Cirklar

Omer Klein - Sleepwalkers

Shahin Novrasli - Emanation

Louis Sclavis - Frontieres

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...
