While we're well past the midway point of the year, it's always worthwhile to pause and look back at the music that’s left a mark rather than waiting until December to decide what mattered.
Recently, Marcus Rosario revisited some of his favorite music from the past year. The show moves across contemporary jazz, global sounds, R&B, electronic music and other hard-to-categorize places in between.
You can find Marcus's regular KALW Music show page here, where new episodes are available to stream for one week after broadcast. For a more permanent archive of his shows, you can also visit his SoundCloud, where past programs live on beyond their KALW web window.
