Una abbuffata di pareri e di classifiche: ecco il post di oggi, che, pescando dal web riporta un numero incredibile di Top List dell'anno 2008, naturalmente con il jazz come protagonista.

A completamento dell'argomento segnalo anche i preferiti di Allaboutjazz edizione italiana, divisi per mese, cliccando
