Každý začiatok nového roka sa len tak hemží rôznymi rebríčkami či anketami, odborníkov, ale i laikov, či aj čitateľov či poslucháčov. Hlasuje sa v rôznych kategóriách - od Najlepšieho umelca alebo skupinu či dokonca big bandu, cez ketegórie jednotlivých nástrojov, až po Najlepších skladateľov, aranžérov, vydavateľstvá či producentov ... Ani americký jazzový magazín Jazz Times nie je v tomto smere výnimkou a tak sme sa pred týždňom pozreli očami a hlavne ušami jazzových odborníkov na rok 2020, ako hlasovali v jednotlivých kategóriách. A teraz vám ponúkam hlasovanie čitateľov toho istého amerického jazzového magazínu Jazz Times. A čo je dôležité, môžete porovnať vaše hlasovanie a ich hlasovanie či sa zhoduje alebo rozchádza!
