De lijstjes van de Jazz Not Jazz zijn niet gebaseerd op verkoopcijfers, maar op de kennis en kunde van de voorhoede van de Nederlandse jazz-scene. Dj’s, organisatoren, programmeurs, programmamakers, journalisten en natuurlijk de muzikanten zelf bevolken het colofon. De JNJ-lijsten bevatten genres die door jazz zijn beinvloed, want jazz wordt door ons zo breed mogelijk benaderd.
