Downbeat is a jazz, blues, world and folk music magazine

The results of the 80th Annual DownBeat Readers Poll are in. Tony Bennett has been elected into the DownBeat Hall of Fame, and the ever-youthful singer also topped the Male Vocalist category. 

“The results of this year’s poll reflect the tremendous diversity and depth of talent in today’s jazz scene,” said DownBeat Publisher Frank Alkyer. “As one of the greatest vocalists ever, Tony Bennett belongs in the Hall of Fame alongside the artists who inspired him, including Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra. Tony also won the Male Vocalist category, and when readers open up the December issue, they’ll see that Tony’s latest album, The Silver Lining, is the subject of a 5-star review.
