Morrissey is influential. He’s unconventional. He’s outspoken. And he’s back on U.S. soil, fresh off a tour of Ireland and the U.K. His incredibly prolific career (as both a solo artist and front man of The Smiths) spans 30+ studio albums, live albums and compilations, plus dozens of hit singles on the international charts. With deep lyrics and a powerful voice, Morrissey continues to march to the beat of his own music.

So many of us are more than ready to put 2020 into the rearview. In this year-in-review episode of Jazz United, we do just that, trying our best to make sense of it all.
