The 'Track of the Day' is currently running down a list of the 'Top 300 Jazz Artists'. rateyourmusic.com/list/noname219/top_300_jazz_artists/2/. The list is based upon the number of entries and positions that an artist has achieved in a published list of most popular Jazz albums. Because it based upon album popularity, there is necessarily a bias towards more recent artists. Louis Armstrong may have sold umpteen different 'Greatest Hits' album but unless one or more particular 'Greatest Hits' album is rated, then none of them count towards his standing in the 'Top 300 Jazz Artists'. Despite this limitation, it is an interesting list that is worth exploring. At 106, singer Helen Merrill

A delicate and gentle interpretation of a Miles Davis number from Jim Hall in stellar company.

At 101, the Esbjörn Svensson Trio. They have a great and extensive catalogue. We may linger here quite a while.

I was planning to see these guys live but sadly Esbjörn Svensson went missing aged 44 during a scuba diving session near Stockholm, Sweden.
