Lee Konitz, recipient of the JJA’s 2009 Lifetime Achievement in Jazz Award wrote on July 2: <\/p>\n

I want to thank you and your Jazz Journalists Colleagues for your acknowledgment of my life’s work. A great honor, to be sure.<\/p>\n

My really greatest achievement is still being around to say thanks!! I’m playing more than ever — the travel is difficult (for everyone) but that’s what we’re paid for, after all.<\/p>\n

I intend to continue playing nice, spontaneous variations on nice songs as long as possible. So, many heartfelt thanks.
\nLove, Lee<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Roswell Rudd, named Trombonist of the Year by the JJA, wrote on June 26:<\/p>\n

The special folks who have been able to experience
\nmusic performance and write about it in such a way that it continues the sound
\n(from sublingual to lingual)
\nI’ve always admired this<\/p>\n

And you support us in so many ways<\/p>\n

The annual awards get together is just one other<\/p>\n

It’s great to see yourself and others who are skilled this way<\/p>\n

You’re players too!
\nMany thanks for your work<\/p>\n

Good health and happy landings<\/p>\n
