Local jazz-pimping outlet DeBlaze & Associates just released the results of their nationwide poll -- asking jazz broadcasters and writers from across the country which spots they considered the "Top 10 Jazz Cities" -- and here's the list:
"1. New York
2. New Orleans
3. Los Angeles
4. Chicago
5. Philadelphia
6. San Francisco
7. Pittsburgh
8. Seattle
9. Boston
10. (Tie) St. Louis, Kansas City, Detroit"
Um, so did we really tie for 10th? Was that just because they felt sorry for us, or felt some pressure when the St. Louis firm came a-callin'? I guess I'm okay with it, though when I spent time in Seattle earlier this year, I didn't notice an immense jazz outpouring, whereas we've got a lot going on, both now and historically.

Not in jazz. St. Louis is a blues town.
