BBC Jazz Awards

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The BBC Jazz Awards was a British jazz prize awarded by BBC Radio 2 and 3 since 2001. There were different categories such as Best of Jazz , Gold Award , Best Band, Best Instrumentalist, Best Singer, Best Album, Lifetime Achievement, best young talent (Rising Star), services for jazz (Service to Jazz), BBC Radio 2 Artist of the Year, Jazz innovation from BBC Radio 3 (Jazz on 3 Innovation Award and Jazz Innovation Award) , International Prize, Traditional Jazz (Jazz Heritage Award). Not every category was awarded every year. In 2009, the decision was made to hire him, as well as their World Music Award (World Music Award), awarded since of 2002. The reason for the discontinuation was discussed in the media as a decrease in interest in jazz in Great Britain after the death of some popular British jazz musicians such as Humphrey Lyttelton , which was also reflected in the collapse of the then only private jazz broadcaster theJazz in 2008.

The first prize was awarded in 2001 at Queen Elizabeth Hall and broadcast on BBC Radio 2 and 3.
