The Best Jazz Tracks for September

Lets look back at the best new tracks featured on jazz.com during September. As regular site visitors know, we pick a Song of the Day five times every week. These tracks are drawn from a wide range of sources, both major and indie label CDs, as well as self-produced projects and easily missed releases from far-flung parts of the world. The predominant focus is jazz, but we occasionally cast our net into blues, world music or other styles. The one common denominator is musical excellence.
Below are links to the reviews of the tracks featured as Song of the Day during the last month. Todays featured track is the exciting opening cut The Sum of All Parts from Dave Hollands new CD Pass It On, which was released a few days ago. This music has many of the trademark elements of Mr. Hollands previous opuses, but the presence of pianist Mulgrew Miller imparts a new twist. For the full review, click here.
