2019 in general was quite a busy year for jazz community with lot of activities, plenty of new releases but it didn't bring many masterpieces. With many better-than-average albums released, there are some which could be more interesting than others.

Few of them unsurprisingly came from still burgeoning English jazz scene:
The Comet Is Coming - The Afterlife (EP)
SEED Ensemble - Driftglass
Ruby Rushton - Ironside


Jazz veterans offered few strong albums as well:
Art Ensemble Of Chicago - We Are On The Edge
Chick Corea Spanish Heart Band - Antidote
William Parker - Live/Shape Shifter

Modern creative jazz continues to impress:
Whit Dickey - Peace Planet & Box Of Light
Steve Lehman - The People I Love
Matt Mitchell - Phalanx Ambassador

Quite a big pleasant surprise was a new Allison Miller album, successful continuation of classic fusion tradition transferred on today's ground:
Allison Miller - Glitter Wolf

From mainstream jazz side, Joshua Redman offered strong work:
Joshua Redman - Come What May

From r'n'b scene, I was really impressed by The Rolling Stones' back-vocalist solo work, deeply  reworking Stone's songs:
Bernard Fowler - Inside Out

And - I want to mention Matana Roberts who continues releasing albums in a class of her own. Some will like it, others - not too much, but she has her own voice that's for sure
