\"Jazzrausch<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jazzrausch Big Band – Prague Calling<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

1 | Jazzrausch Big Band – Prague Calling<\/b><\/p>\n

The greatest band from Munich whom we’ve seen live like a thousand times made it to rank #1 this year. Their first studio album is a great mix of dance\/techno and jazz. It has a smooth sound and I loved to have it in my car. Do not miss out on their second album (JRBB Bruckners Breakdown)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"Kermit<\/a><\/p>\n

2 | Kermit Ruffins – 1533 St. Philip Street<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

2 | Kermit Ruffins – 1533 St. Philip Street<\/b><\/p>\n

In New Orleans this guy owns his own bar<\/a> and is one of the most famous trumpet players in that city. It’s typical New Orleans sound, a bit oldschool, but great as ever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
\n

\"St<\/a><\/p>\n

3 | St Paul and the Broken Bones – Sea of Noise<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

3 | St Paul and the Broken Bones – Sea of Noise<\/b><\/p>\n

I’ve seen this band live at the Love Supreme Festival<\/a> this year. Paul Janeway is one of the craziest singers that I’ve ever seen. Even from far back in the audience you could feel his vibes and what a great dancer he is, too. The whole album is made to be performed live and nowhere else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
\n

\"Galactic<\/a><\/p>\n

4 | Galactic – Crazyhorse Mongoose<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

4 | Galactic – Crazyhorse Mongoose<\/b><\/p>\n

This album of Galactic was covered a few times. But I love the original funky fancy sound. A great album to have a funky relaxation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

5 | The Bamboos – The Best Of The Tru Thoughts Years<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

5 | The Bamboos – The Best Of The Tru Thoughts Years <\/b><\/p>\n

This album is one of the best compositions I’ve listened to this year. The Bamboos have such a great variety of songs. Th music they play is between hip-hop, funk, soul and jazz. Together with other great artists at Tru Thoughs like Alice Russel, they made this the perfect album.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
\n

\"Bilderbuch<\/a><\/p>\n

6 | Bilderbuch – Magic Life<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

6 | Bilderbuch – Magic Life<\/b><\/p>\n

Why is the best German speaking band an Austrian band? Maybe Austria offers more time to think about how to make great, innovational music. The young guys of Bilderbuch offer a sound that was nearly never heard before. It has hip-hop choruses mixed with the guitar sound of the 70s. I think this is a masterpiece of German speaking music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
\n

\"Amy<\/a><\/p>\n

7 | Amy Winehouse – Back to Black<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

7 | Amy Winehouse – Back to Black<\/b><\/p>\n

Again, again. I hope my kids will one day ask me, why this woman died so early. She’s just one of the greatest voices the world has ever seen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
\n

\"Miles<\/a><\/p>\n

8 | Miles Mosley – Uprising<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

8 | Miles Mosley – Uprising<\/b><\/p>\n

Miles Mosley performed live at the Love Supreme Festival<\/a> at three different gigs. This guy has a crazy variety in his baseplay. He can be a crazy guitar hero or a smooth jazz background play. You never know what will happen next on stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
\n

\"Bonobo<\/a><\/p>\n

9 | Bonobo – Migrations<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

9 | Bonobo – Migrations<\/b><\/p>\n

Whenever you get to a new Bonobo <\/a>album, you think the last one was so great, it can never ever get better. And what happens? It gets better! This man is crazy. I don’t have any clue how he gets better from album to album, but he does it in great style.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
\n

\"Electro<\/a><\/p>\n

10 | Electro Deluxe – Circle<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

10 | Electro Deluxe – Circle<\/b><\/p>\n

The new album of Electro Deluxe<\/a> is continuing the great tradition of dance albums. It has a strong and overall great sound.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
