Jazz music has evolved over time. Here are my Top Ten Jazz Cafe artists featured in 2022 that
mixed jazz with other music genres, and it was glorious.

Danilo Pérez
Danilo Perez
Jazz pianist Danilo Perez just blows me away with his music. He
can do no wrong in my book. I need to make it a point to see him next time.
"La Muralla"
Add a Title
Jonathan Barber
This amazing drummer reminds me at times of Robert Glasper's type
of sound but rhythmically this drummer is just astounding. Check him out!
"Poetic"

Jas Kayser
I love hearing amazing female drummers and Jas Kayser is definitely one to watch.
Check out her album Darkness In the Light.

Waldo's Gift
This jazz trio from Bristol, U.K. mixes jazz with funk and soul and it's just so
smooth to listen to.
"Flowerbed"
Add a Title
"Square Wheel"
Can you tell I love drummers? I couldn't keep this amazing drummer off
the list. He mixes jazz with hip-hop/soul and he is most incredible live.
"Square Wheel"

Braxton Cook
This sax player has soul and says he's here to take away your
restrictive negative thoughts. I admit his music does.
"MB"

Dafnis Prieto Big Band
I love some Latin jazz, its rhythms and sounds make me want to get up
and dance salsa. Love this record.
"Song for Chico"
Add a Title
Juan Ortiz
This song is not to be confused with the dance record of the same name by
Cajmere. This talented jazz pianist mixes both Latin sounds with some funk
and soul. Definitely, one to watch.
"Brighter Days"
Add a Title
Micah Graves
This pianist/keyboardist is classically trained and his mix of jazz
with R&B are worth listening to.
"Pawns"
Add a Title
Matters Unknown
I am definitely a lover of Afro beats and jazz mixed together. This band's
music is on my playlist almost every day.
"A Beginning"
