2013 Critics' Roundtable

Four leading music critics representing a range of perspectives and publications will converge in this annual critics’ roundtable, hosted and moderated by Nate Chinen, the director of editorial content at WBGO. Along with Nate, the panel will include Giovanni Russonello, who writes about jazz for The New York Times; Michelle Mercer, an author and contributor to NPR; and Eugene Holley, Jr., who contributes to Downbeat, Publisher’s Weekly, and WNYC. They’ll discuss the issues, albums, artists, and standout moments that shaped jazz in 2017.

Nate started The Year in Jazz in 2009, as a means of fostering conversation among his fellow critics online. The National Jazz Museum in Harlem gave the discussion a new home in 2013, which makes this year’s panel the fifth annual edition.
