The December 2007 issue of Down Beat has been sent to subscribers, and results from the magazine's annual readers' poll show several musicians with St. Louis connections.
Clark Terry placed fourth in the balloting for trumpet players, while Hamiet Bluiett shows up at number five in the poll's list of baritone saxophonists. Greg Osby grabbed tenth place in the alto sax category, Marty Ehrlich finished tenth among clarinetists, and the St. Louis based independent MAXJAZZ came in ninth among record labels.
In addition, saxophonist and composer Oliver Nelson tied for tenth place in the Hall of Fame category, and Miles Davis: The Legendary Prestige Sessions finished second in the voting for Historical Album/Box Set.
Alas, DB still does not post the complete poll results online, but the December issue should be available soon at better bookstores and newsstands everywhere.
