Welcome to the 2013 JazzTimes Readers’ Poll. Please choose your favorite artist, group or title in each category. (If your favorite isn’t listed, you may write your selection in.) If you don’t feel comfortable voting in a particular category, skip it. When considering your selections, focus on the events and recordings of November 2012 through Nov. 21 of this year. The results of this poll will be published in our January/February issue.

Please note that ballot-stuffing will not be tolerated; any ballots that appear to be fraudulent will not be counted. If you've contributed to JazzTimes Magazine or JazzTimes.com, do not participate; an expanded critics' poll will be conducted later this year. (We do invite Community Section contributors to vote in this Readers' Poll.)

Voting ends at 5 p.m. EST on Monday, Dec. 2. Thanks very much for your participation.
