In a year that often felt overwhelming, music remained a place of focus and meaning. This episode of Mondo Jazz brings together the songs from the past six months that helped make sense of the noise—or at least gave us a reason to lean in and listen. The playlist features Funkwrench Blues [pictured]; Anne Drummond; Donny McCaslin; Vincent Peirani; SFJAZZ Collective; and Don Was & The Pan-Detroit Ensemble. Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/21689299/Mondo-Jazz [from "Drowning Man" onwards]. Happy listening!
