I don't do these year-end jazz mixes every year. Most of the time I'm just too lazy. I don't keep close track of what came out and what I liked. At some point this year I started tossing individual tracks into a playlist and that helped me remember what I enjoyed in 2021.
So here's my Jazz 2021 mix. It is by no means a "Best of" mix. It's merely a collection of jazz-ish tracks from albums I liked this year. And of course some of the tunes lean a bit toward ambient.
The tracklist is in the comments. Cheers!

A beautiful mix, and whether it's "jazz" or not, is not important. Thanks.
Great point! I'm glad you liked the mix. Cheers!
Mmmm nice, very nice, I love your theme mixes
Thanks for listening!
The opening track by Nala Sinephro is so unique, spacey and Jazzy at the same time...Spotify only has one album by her. She plays the pedal Harp and would love to hear more of what she can do on that instrument.
I agree! I should have saved that track for my ambient sax mix which is coming this weekend.

Great selection, thanks! A couple of new names there that I will certainly be checking out later.
One of the many reasons I hang around here - the new artists you introduce me to :) !

Great journey.
