From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DownBeat is an American magazine devoted to jazz. The publication was established in 1935 in Chicago, Illinois. It is named after the "downbeat" in music also called the "one beat".

DownBeat publishes results of annual surveys of both its readers and critics in a variety of categories. The DownBeat Jazz Hall of Fame includes winners from both the readers and critics poll. The results of the readers poll are published in the December issue, those of the critics poll in the August issue.
