Announcing: The Jazz Journalists Association's 12th annual Jazz Awards
Recognizing excellence in 41 categories of music-making, presentation, production and jazz journalism
Party on Wednesday, June 18, 3 to 6 p.m., Jazz Standard, 116 E. 27th St., New York City
The Jazz Journalists Association — some 450 writers, photographers,
broadcasters and new media entrepreneurs mostly in the US and Canada but
also worldwide and on the Internet — believes professional, independent
jazz journalism is the most important means of promoting jazz of every genre
on record or in performance to general audiences via print, broadcast, the
web and public discussions. To advance this belief, the JJA celebrates
winners of the 2008 Jazz Awards at a cocktail luncheon at the Jazz Standard,
116 27th St. in New York City, on Wednesday, June 18 from 3 to 6 p.m.
Finalist nominees for the JJA's12th annual Awards recognizing excellence in
41 categories of jazz music and jazz journalism are selected by professional
(as opposed to student or support) members of the JJA, who may submit up to
five nominations in each category. Those nominees accumulating the most
votes are finalists — voted upon again by the JJA's professional members to
determine individual representative recipients — Winners!
