Best Albums Of 2012

JazzWrap revisits another stellar year in music for 2012.

Another jazz year with a host of new discoveries. Here's some of the exciting records we heard over during 2012. I hope you discover some new ones here too.

I decided to stop doing a list in any numerical order (expect my personal favourite album). It just doesn't make any sense to me. These are just the records we've spun the most over the year. Next year looks to be just as good.
