What are YOUR Top Jazz Releases of 2014? Here's how it will work....
- Make your list (via blog / Tumblr / public social media post / YouTube), check it twice, add a few literary flourishes if you dare (and even better, create an image/graphic) and put it somewhere online where we can link to it. If you need a reminder of what NEW you heard on Jazz 88.3 this year, review the Jazz 88 New This Week blog.
- Let us know where your list is via the Comments section below or via any of our Social Media Channels (also listed below), preferably using the #TopJazz2014 hashtag,
- We will add the link to this blog, quoting your most pithy observations, and share links to the best, most creative, most insightful, most strange via Jazz 88's social media channels with the #TopJazz2014 hashtag.

- Top 10 SD Jazz Releases of 2013 (Robert Bush): OK, so I know this is last year, but this is a great example of a creative list (e.g. focusing on San Diego Jazz) and WHAT WE WANT FROM YOU for 2014! Makes me think of other 'focused' lists, like "Top 10 Vocal Jazz Releases of 2014" or "Top Solo Jazz Releases of 2014"...be creative!
