Monthly Jazz Selections – For every month, discover a selection of 10 jazz albums released that month, with full details and playlist.

September brings us properly back into the season, just in time with our selection (ouf!), and with it comes an impressive flow of new music. Our Jazz September 2026 selection moves from new names—at least for us—to some true legends. Ten albums, each with a strong identity of its own, and plenty of reasons to keep listening as autumn begins.

As the summer went by, the June 2026 new jazz selection has to become the new jazz selection for June, July, and August 2026. And although I am sorry for the delay, it somehow helped me make a heartfelt selection for two main reasons I would like to share.
First, for the first time in years, I have spent more time listening to my record collection than forthcoming releases. I listened to some albums I was wondering whether to discard — as it helps me keep a tight collection — but mostly to all my favorites, from 1959 to 2025. It made my summer such a wonderful, laid-back moment, filled with music I love. So I must admit that, while I know I am running this blog primarily to help discover the next albums that will be part of my/your best-ever list, the rush of trying to achieve it makes me miss a key goal: enjoying the ones I already have. I will definitely reclaim this goal, as it helps keep the outcome alive (listening to outstanding music we want to return to) and sets the bar.
