It is a special time of the year with an abundance of music and jazz to take in for the holidays. It is also a time to reflect on memorable performances this past year and to make new memories. We begin the process of putting together the 8th annual JazzBuffalo Poll this week. A chance to remember and nominate some of your favorite performances and jazz musicians.
