  Ertegun Jazz Hall of Fame (Michael Moran, Rockwell Group Architects)
  

  The Jazz Pantheon?

  Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, and Charlie Parker are just a few of the jazz greats that have been inducted into the new Ertegun Jazz Hall of Fame, located at the home of Jazz at Lincoln Center at Columbus Circle. There are fourteen inductees in all, as determined by a 72-person international voting panel, which includes musicians, scholars and educators from 17 countries. Today we take listener calls and ask who’s missing from the list? And are we entering a new era of approachability for jazz – an art form that has occasionally been criticized for being too self-indulgent and insidery?
