A FOOL IN THE FOREST: Listening Listfully 2018
A FOOL IN THE FOREST: Listening Listfully 2018
BY GEORGE M. WALLACE
1. John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble - All Can Work
In a post in late January, I touted All Can Work as "The First Great Record of 2018," adding that it was "all but guaranteed a high-ranking spot on my personal List when the year is old and done." The prophecy is hereby fulfilled. As highly as I regard the other collections collected below, on returning to All Can Work after several months in which I had not listened to it I found that it remained my clear choice as the most roundly, fully, and firmly satisfying album of the year.
