Top 50 Jazz Albums for the Week of 02 July 2012 [JazzWeek]

 

Melody Gardot: The AbsenceHere is JazzWeek.com's list of albums that received the most US/Canadian radio airplay for the week of 02 July 2012.  

Want to see the stats on how many radio stations played your favorite jazz artist or how much s/he moved up or down the chart from last week? Click here to check out the chart.

I'm taking a wild guess at why there is such a dearth of new  U.S. releases this week. Can it be because of the American holiday for July 4th? Who knows. The only new release that jumps out at me is Melody Gardot's The Absence (CD + DVD). 

 Enjoy!
