[jja-announce] NEA Jazz Masters announcement invitation (and why it matters to us)

[Jazzmandel at aol.com]

Here's the leak about the following invitation that makes it relevant to JJA 
members -- a jazz journalist is reliably rumored to be named a "jazz master" 
for the first time ever. If you're in NYC, it's not too late to rsvp or simply 
come to the event. 

best regards, 

President HM


National Endowment for the Arts
