Elevating the local music scene, these bands were dubbed the best of the jazz genre. The Sue Orfield Band was voted first place for Best Jazz Band. Renowned for soul-stirring performances and mastery of the genre, Orfield & Co. emerged once again as champs. Coming in second place, Cathy Reitz and 7 Swing have a mix of talent, passion, and vibrancy that make them a quick favorite. In third place, Weapons of Brass Destruction come crashing in with their multiple-member ensemble and unforgettable toe-tapping bops this year. —Hannah Angell
