Was 2023 the best year for international anthems? Asher Gamedze, Carlos Niño, Jamie Branch, Angel Bat Dawid: if anyone has the task of presenting the current state of jazz, look no further. Bex Burch’s »There Is Only Love and Fear« is the release in the series that is the most difficult to summarise in two sentences. It contains all the emotions and all the instruments, great tenderness can be followed by great excitement in the next song. Ambient tinkering works just as well as simple bounce. This release has internalised the Chicago jazz doctrine and exudes it with every single beat. A celebration.
