Legends in jazz, blues and beyond can be elected into the DownBeat Hall of Fame by way of the annual Critics Poll (designated by “C”), Readers Poll (“R”) or Veterans Committee (“V”). It all started in 1952 with the Readers. The Critics got into the game in 1961 and the Veterans Committee began voting in 2008.
The following are in the DownBeat Jazz Hall of Fame:
