Miguel Zenón's Típico is on Nate Chinen's list of albums to look forward to in 2017.

It's become a January tradition for NPR to look ahead to some of the most anticipated jazz albums of the year.

Read some of McBride's and Chinen's thoughts below, and hear more of their discussion — including a reflection on the relationship between musicians and critics — at the audio link.
