DownBeat opens Readers Poll to online voting

Once again this year, DownBeat magazine has opened its annual Readers Poll to online voting. The Readers Poll is a long-running tradition for the jazz journal, and usually provides some good discussion fodder and an interesting snapshot of tastes and trends. To vote for your favorite musicians, groups, recordings, and so on, go to the online ballot for the 2008 poll here. (While you don't have to be a DB subscriber to vote, the online ballot does require a name and email address, so as to discourage any potential ballot box stuffing.)
