More on member polls
Long-time contributor Ed Blanco and his wife Pilar just returned from the 2024 Jazz Cruise and from the sounds of it, had a whale of a time. Here's Ed sporting his All About Jazz uniform with none other than pianist and AAJ friend Eliane Elias.
It appears everyone loves to view poll results as the Favorite Living Saxophonist article has generated over 6,000 pageviews since last week. Of course, the results would be much more meaningful (and accurate) if more members participated. For instance, if 0.5% of our members turned out, it would have resulted in 1,108 participants. Something tells me an additional 849 voters would have resulted in a more definitive and useful list. It's also worth noting that the results of the polls are not intended to upset or disappoint anyone. In every instance where we replied to a reader who was upset with the results, we later discovered they never voted. :-|
So, let's get that 1k involved for the legacy jazz saxophonists poll...
