Swing Journal ... 讀 者 票 選 100 大 爵 士 唱 片
Swing Journal (スイングジャーナル)，是日本最負盛名的專業爵士雜誌。
於 1947 年，二次大戰後，即已創刊，歷史悠久。
不只以快速、豐富的資訊，引領日本爵士樂的發展，
而且相關唱片、音響的評測文章也相當可觀，
堪稱世界最重要的爵士樂雜誌之一。
只可惜，不敵平面雜誌銷路、廣告下滑的趨勢，已於 2010 年 7 月號後結束。
(部分離職員工轉至 Yamaha 公司後，另行創立新雜誌 Jazz Japan)
...
以下是根據 2001 年所舉辦的讀者票選，所選出的 100 大爵士名盤。
如果你不是很專精的爵士樂迷，
也沒興趣去研究爵士樂的來龍去脈，
為的只是找一些好聽，又經典的爵士名曲來欣賞，
此份大眾口味的名單是很好的選擇。
...
不過，這份名單也有一些問題...
1. 日本人崇拜大師的特性依舊。
光是 M.Davis、B.Evans、J.Coltrane、S.Rollins、K.Jarrett 五人，就佔了全部的 1/3，
自然也造成不少遺珠之憾。
2. 聲樂的部分，出奇的少，竟然只有 3 個名額。
諸多爵士名伶，如 : Ella Fitzgerald、Billie Holiday 等，都落得名落孫山的下場。
令人十分不解 ?!
...
P.S. 排名有先後次序。
P.S. 爵士唱片經常重新發行，內容、廠牌都可能有很大不同，請注意。
