Here are a couple of cool jazz links I found recently. The first one shows a weekly report of the top fifty Jazz and Smooth Jazz recordings played on radio stations across the United States and Canada.

This links to an index of many jazz artist’s YouTube videos. It’s pretty amazing, check it out.

After the post on my favorite concert of 2008 I started thinking about favorite jazz CDs of 2008. I began compiling the lists of best 2008 jazz CDs that were already out there and put the most important ones below. The first link has a nice summary of 2008 jazz news as well as a best of list. If you really need to see just about every list out there then click on the picture of “St Louis Jazz Notes.” He has a giant list of lists of the best jazz CDs of 2008.
If you have a favorite jazz CD from last year let us know via a comment.
