Today the results of the annual jazz critics’ poll organized by Francis Davis were published on NPR’s A Blog Supreme, the poll’s home for the past couple years. (The poll started at the Village Voice, then moved to Rhapsody before landing at NPR.) Rudresh Mahanthappa and Maria Schneider tied for top honors. Below is the ballot I submitted for the poll, which includes several selections that landed in the top ten.
- Miles Davis, At Newport: 1955-1975 (Columbia/Legacy)
- Bengt Nordström, Sven-Åke Johansson & Alexander von Schlippenbach, Stockholm Connection (Umlaut)
- Staffan Harde, Staffan Harde (Corbett vs. Dempsey/SJR)
