Oh I have no doubt that it is a tremendous amount of work. I was just observing a trend, and wondering aloud if that trend had practical limits or would reverse at some point:2016 NPR Jazz Critics …I wonder if NPR is combining the 2019 and 2020 Francis Davis jazz critics poll compilation. ;-) We're already to mid January and no sign of it yet. (Aside: I wonder if the trend towards ever larger mega polls, which in turn seem to take longer …^^^ Looking forward to it!Free Bobby Previte and Charlie Hunter Christmas album, through Christmas evening...
Love that NPR classical list... thanks for posting. Speaking of classical lists... This one tends a bit more towards traditional in most years, but does have pretty wide breadth of labels and performers covered.Music…One of several AllMusic lists (this one jazz):

Bandcamp now has @jonahpwll 's list up, too: (I'm hoping he'll still have his Bird Is The Worm countdown this year, too, which is not constrained to Bandcamp releases (t…Jazz Times Top 50 Albums of 2019:
^^^ Pro tip: When I searched the site for "Jazz Fest" (with or w/o space) , it did not readily appear. (Lots of albums appeared in search results, but the desired one was so buried that I wasn't sure the site had the boxed set). But when I se…Matador is having a "25% off everything" sale at their Bandcamp store right now to celebrate the end of the decade. :-)The latest from theBABAorchestra is available on Bandcamp as NYOP (name your own price):^^^ BTW, Noah's previous album, "Pivot - Live at the 55 Bar" is available for $2.18 at 7Digital, as well. (2 tracks, each ~ 32 min long).
I cross-posted this in "Bargains on the new Emusic", even though it's technically neither an eMusic bargain nor a Bandcamp bargain. But it *is* jazz, and you can get it for $1.09 on 7Digital rather than $15 on Bandcamp. (It's a 48 minute si…OK, so once again this is not technically an eMusic bargain, but rather a 7Digital jazz bargain... but since eMusic effectively owns 7Dig now, so be it:$15 on Bandcamp, $1.09 on 7Digital. (The album is essentially…(Quote)Well, I suppose that shouldn't surprise us. When you take the management that ran eMusic retail into the ground and put them in charge of 7Dig, what follows may be all too predictable.

(Quote)I think you could replace "moderators on the eMusic reddit page" with "employees at eMusic" and the answer would be roughly the same.

You've been a great friend to the jazz community for a long time, so, at least personally, I'm happy to wait and see where your next adventures lead you. Congrats on the home, may you and your lawnmower…The Bird is the Worm site has gone dormant for more than two months now (the last review post was on July 4, with the only other two posts since then being the monthly links to the Best of Bandcamp articles). Hopefully that i…(Quote)Can't we PLEASE all pitch in and buy a copy so that it hits number 1 on the eMusic charts? Now THAT would be a screenshot that could go viral rapidly... an eMusic chart with this album at #1. …Since eMusic sort of owns 7Digital now, I'm going to liberally apply the title of this forum to include bargains on 7Digital.

I wonder if a similar letter went out to labels and artists:
Dear Artist or Label Owner,
We are making improvements to the way we get paid when someone purchases your music from the 7Digital download store. From 14th August 20…(Quote) Beat me to it - thanks for posting! Just saw that email from them, as well.
