2025 Totals: New Jazz Albums

This category is for new albums of new music, released in 2025 (or 2024 but discovered in 2025), consisting of music that is less than 10 years old (recorded in or since January 1, 2016). For reissues and new albums of older music, see Rara Avis.

Critics were asked to list up to 10 albums in descending order, or they could submit an unranked list (preferably alphabetized by artist). Albums in unranked lists are accorded 1 point each. Albums in ranked lists are accorded points according to rank: 1: 3.0; 2: 2.4; 3: 2.0; 4: 1.8; 5: 1.6; 6: 1.4; 7: 1.3; 8: 1.2; 9: 1.1; 10: 1.0.

The listings are sorted by votes (in parentheses at the end of the line), with points (the preceding number) used as a tiebreaker. The arrow at the end of the line will route you to a page listing all of the critics who voted for the album. Some entries may have footnotes, which follow the list. There is also a Notes section at the bottom of the page.
