Jazz Inside Jazz Music Awards 2012

Äänestykseen osallistui monipuolinen joukko jazz-maailman ihmisiä, sillä äänestys oli avoin kaikille aktiiviammattilaisille, kuten jazzartisteille ja -muusikoille, medialle, levyfirmoille, managereille, tapahtuma- ja konserttijärjestäjille jne.

Äänestulokset antavat laajuudessaan oivan kuvan amerikkalaisesta jazzmausta tänään, tässä ja nyt. Paljon tuttua ja ennakoitua, mutta mukana myös paljon uusia ja mielenkiintoisia nimiä.
