Down Beat

Down Beat (etableret 1935 i Chicago) er et amerikansk tidsskrift om jazz. Det er bl.a. kendt for sine årlige kåringer af årets artist i forskellige kategorier af instrument, udført af læsere (Readers poll) såvel som kritikere (Critics poll), samt egne kategorier for "Rising Star" (talent).

Hall of Fame

Magasinet har sin egen "Hall of Fame" i Orlando, der finder man bl.a. et udvalg vindere fra kåringerne.
