We are delighted to have followed so many remarkable jazz artists throughout the year. 2025 has been an especially rewarding chapter for\u00a0The Concert Witness<\/em>: a year marked by outstanding concerts, meaningful encounters with musicians, and careful listening to a wide range of new releases that left a lasting impression on us. As the year draws to a close, we wanted to mark the moment with a gesture of gratitude \u2014 to our readers and to the artists who shaped our listening over the past twelve months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n This Jazz Christmas Playlist brings together musicians who, for us, defined the sound and spirit of 2025. Rather than returning to the most familiar holiday standards, the selection balances original material, jazz standards, and seasonal classics, shaped through fresh arrangements and individual voices from artists central to our listening in 2025. It is a playlist shaped for focused listening, but one that also works naturally as a companion to the slower, reflective moments of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
