The 19th Annual
Francis Davis Jazz Critics Poll:
2024
2024 Totals: New Albums
This category is for new albums of new music, released in 2024
(or 2023 but discovered in 2024), consisting of music that is less
than 10 years old (recorded in or since 2015). For reissues and
new albums of older music, see
Rara Avis.
Critics were asked to list up to 10 albums in descending order, or
they could submit an unranked list (preferably alphabetized by artist).
Albums in unranked lists are accorded 1 point each. Albums in ranked
lists are accorded points according to rank:
1: 3.0; 2: 2.4; 3: 2.0; 4: 1.8; 5: 1.6; 6: 1.4; 7: 1.3; 8: 1.2;
9: 1.1; 10: 1.0.
The listings are sorted by points (near end of line), with the
number of votes (in parentheses) used as a tiebreaker. The arrow
at the end of the line will route you to a page listing all of the
critics who voted for the album. Some entries may have footnotes,
which follow the list. There is also a Notes section at the bottom
of the page.
