RFE: A Mad New Year? (Best of 2024, Jan. 2025) It was a very good year. I started to shift away (slightly) from yacht smoothness to embrace more R&B and jazz (particularly instrumentals). New discoveries include jazz keyboardist/multi-instrumental...

My music of the year 2024

Divided into "Best" [∫] and "Contender" [C]

I love to listen to all these albums, of course. But being overwhelmed by 100 oder 50 pieces in other #AOTJ lists, I try to boil down over the year.

To the #SkyMusicLounge. I’m curious about your comments.

This year, the only movies from 2024 I watched were only these 4. The others were mostly 80s stuff, and some from last year.
