The Best Jazz of 2010

(Keith Jarrett & Charlie Haden)

Os melhores do jazz em 2010 - The Best Jazz of 2010!
The results of the 32nd Annual Jazz Station Poll conducted by jazz journalist, jazz historian & jazz educator Arnaldo DeSouteiro

A seleção dos “melhores do jazz”, feita pelo historiador Arnaldo DeSouteiro, publicada pela primeira vez em 1979, chega ao 32º ano.
Keith Jarrett, Charlie Haden, Havana Carbo, Marcus Miller, Mina Cho, Lew Soloff, Hubert Laws e Barry Finnerty estão entre os artistas que brilharam em 2010. E nomes como James Moody, Benny Powell e Charlie Mariano se despediram com belos trabalhos.

Esta é a lista dos que mais se destacaram, em 2010, no panorama jazzístico internacional. Atendendo aos pedidos dos leitores, que desde 1979 acompanham essa votação, incluímos – após os nomes de todos os colocados em cada categoria – os títulos dos trabalhos (CDs ou DVDs) pelo quais os artistas foram avaliados, com base apenas em lançamentos realizados no decorrer deste ano.

Para variar, foram necessárias várias semanas para a preparação de todas estas listas, reouvindo CDs, revendo DVDs, checando fichas técnicas e, às vezes, reavaliando opiniões. Tudo isso com o objetivo de fornecer o mais fiel possível retrato do cenário jazzístico em 2010, a partir de bases reais de análise. O que significa, por exemplo, que artistas que não lançaram novos trabalhos este ano, seja como líderes ou sidemen, tornaram-se, por mais geniais que sejam, automaticamente inelegíveis. Tal critério explica a ausência de feras como Diana Krall, Mark Murphy, Kurt Elling, Jon Hendricks, Ron Carter, Gene Bertoncini e Raul de Souza que, apesar de terem realizado muitos shows, não lançaram novos trabalhos em 2010.

Vários discos premiados em 2010, com atraso, pelas revistas especializadas, não aparecem na nossa lista por uma simples razão: constaram da relação de 2009.
