Hello Groovers, This week's Liquid Sunshine looks back at the best jazz releases of 2025, focusing on the spiritual and exploratory sounds that defined the year—music that ebbs and flows like ocean waves, from Makaya McCraven's hypnotic rhythms to The Circling Sun's cosmic expansions. The set moves through contemporary innovators like Levitation Orchestra and Chip Wickham before settling into timeless classics from Miles Davis, Pharaoh Sanders, and Donald Byrd that have soundtracked the year's listening. It's a journey through both new discoveries and old favorites, united by that searching, transcendent quality that makes jazz feel like both meditation and celebration.
