[JPL] CMJ Year-End Jazz Top-40 Chart For 2008

[MFA - Jazz Radio Promotion, Publicity & Consulting]

Hi Group -

Happy 2009.

I post the list below FYI.

Curious how many CDs by bassists made the top-15 (5!) -- more than any  
other instrument.

Not sure if this means anything but certainly a remarkable showing.

Music always,

Mitchell
