According to the 2002 Down Beat Critics' Poll, Palmetto Records follows only Blue Note, ECM and Verve as the best label recording jazz period.
And now - as of the end of last week's Yellow Dog radio report - Palmetto has the:
- #1 record in Bobby Watson's “Live & Learn"
- a #3 chart-topper in Larry Goldings' “Sweet Science" (out on the road this fall with James Taylor);
- and over on CMJ's charts, the #1 record on jazz radio with Andrew Hill's new LIVE big band release, “A Beautiful Day."
