Jazz FM Awards Back In May

Established in 2013, the Jazz FM Awards – produced by promoter Serious – has over the years built a global reputation as one of the most prestigious nights in the international jazz calendar, celebrating the diverse range of talent on offer across the worlds of jazz, soul and blues from the best emerging new artists, classic icons and established stars.

Nominations for the event and recipients of the Special Award categories will be announced shortly. Among those honoured in the past include Quincy Jones, George Benson, Dame Cleo Laine, Don Was and Blue Note Records, Ahmad Jamal, Ramsey Lewis and Hugh Masekela, as well as up-and-coming stars such as Shabaka Hutchings, Nubya Garcia, Cassie Kinoshi, Zara McFarlane, Moses Boyd and Binker Golding.

Nick Pitts, Content Director of Jazz FM said: “We aim to build on previous years’ successes and really shine a light on this creative and innovative world with an evening of live music and pin-drop moments.”

“As always, we are grateful to the jazz community for their continued involvement and also to our sponsors and partners – including PRS for Music, PPL, Shoreditch Town Hall, Mishcon de Reya, Lateralize, Cambridge Audio, Arqiva and Oanda – who once again go above and beyond to support this now landmark event.”
