All About Jazz

As we hit the halfway mark of 2025, All About Jazz has adopted Major League Baseball’s All-Star break approach but swapping homers for albums. Their team of 55 writers convened to name their top three albums of the year so far, with Mary Halvorson’s About Ghosts (Nonesuch) emerging as the clear favorite and an early contender for album of the year. Her collaboration with Sylvie Courvoisier (Bone Bells, Pyroclastic Records), also earned spots on a few lists. Other notables include Branford Marsalis’ Belonging (Blue Note Records), Anouar Brahem’s After the Last Sky (ECM Records), Artemis’ Arboresque (Blue Note Records) and Hiromi’s OUT THERE (Telarc Records).
