“The second annual JazzBuffalo Readers and Fan Poll, recognizing the jazz artists and performers who entertain jazz audiences, collected 1,655 responses.  Over a fifty percent increase from the previous year.  A great sign that jazz awareness and appreciation is growing in Greater Buffalo!

The results of the poll are representative of the votes made by the readers of JazzBuffalo, the audiences who attended jazz performances, and the fans of jazz in the Greater Buffalo community.  The names placed into nomination came from these same dedicated fans of jazz from a survey conducted in late December.
