Appena pubblicati i risultati del referendum della critica musicale americana, che riflettono il momento e la realtà della scena statunitense. Vecchi leoni e giovani promesse ben amalgamati in un quadro a mio modo di vedere piuttosto aderente ai valori effettivi. Interessante, e nonostante la mia personale diffidenza verso questo tipo di riconoscimento, utile per avere riferimenti sullo stato di salute del jazz americano.
