Maybe one day, this feature will be called "Around The BAM! Internet."

• More year-end lists: The members of the Jazz Journalists Association who have submitted. Howard Reich. Bret Saunders. Fred Kaplan. Seth Colter Walls' multi-genre list. Tell me if I missed yours and you'd like to see it here next week.
• If you need a partial summary of this whole Nicholas Payton debate, George Colligan is an astute reader. (Gosh, the comment section in there, though!) Everybody, deep breath. Marcus Strickland has read closer now. And if all this gets us all to think deeply about race and the category "jazz," I think it's largely worth it.
