NEW YORK – The Jazz Journalists Association today announced winners of 2014 JJA Jazz Awards in 32 categories of musical achievement. Herbie Hancock — the man behind International Jazz Day (April 30) as UNESCO Ambassador for Intercultural Dialog and Chairman of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz – is being honored for his Lifetime Achievement in Jazz. Saxophonist Wayne Shorter, Hancock’s frequent collaborator, has been voted Musician of the Year.

In the 18th annual Jazz Awards presented by the JJA, an international non-profit organization of writers, photographers, broadcasters, videographers and new media professionals, Without A Net, by Shorter’s quartet (winner of Midsize Ensemble of the Year) was voted Record of the Year. Vocalist Cecile McLorin Salvant, debuting in 2013 with her album WomanChild, was named Up and Coming Artist of the Year as well as Female Singer of the Year. Gregory Porter was voted Male Singer of the Year, Maria Schneider Composer and Arranger of the Year, and her Orchestra best Large Ensemble.

Winners of Jazz Awards will be presented with engraved statuettes at their performances throughout the U.S. Winners are chosen through a two-month, two-ballot voting process. Recipients of JJA Jazz Awards for excellence in journalism and media will be announced at a party at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City on June 11, which will feature musical performances by Elio Villafranca’s Jass Syncopators, Sheila Jordan with Cameron Brown, and Stephanie Richards’ Trumpet Ensemble. Tickets for that event are now on sale: the general public is invited.

Among the many highlights in the lengthy careers of Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter were their joint tenures in Miles Davis’ 1960s quintet. Davis’ influence on current jazz remains powerful, according to JJA members who voted for Miles Live in Europe 1969 as Historical Record of the Year, and also honor Davis-associated Jack DeJohnette as Traps Drummer of the Year.

New jazz stars are also acclaimed by the JJA: besides Cecile McLorin Salvant, pianist Craig Taborn, percussionist Pedrito Martinez and electronics player Jason Lindner have won Awards for the first time. However, veteran musicians who have won Jazz Awards previously dominate, with saxophonist Joe Lovano, trumpeter Terence Blanchard, trombonist Roswell Rudd, bassist Christian McBride, mallet instrumentalist Gary Burton, alto saxophonist Lee Konitz, organist Dr. Lonnie Smith all receiving honors for their musical achievements in 2013.

The JJA Jazz Awards again cites the advancement of women in jazz, with Awards going to violinist Regina Carter, soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom, flutist Nicole Mitchell, and clarinetist Anat Cohen – all previous winners.

The complete list of winners of 2014 JJA Jazz Awards for musical achievement, the list of all 2014 nominees and biographies of 24 Jazz Heroes are viewable at http://www.JJAJazzAwards.org.

Sponsors of the 2014 JJA Jazz Awards include The Jazz Cruise, North Coast Brewing Company, the Ella Fitzgerald Foundation, Berklee College of Music, Jazz.FM, Motéma Music, ECM, Mack Avenue and Century Media Partners.

Legendary Jazz Ensemble M’Boom Re: Percussion Reunites
Under The Leadership of Original Member Joe Chambers
For A Special Concert with the KBz Strings and Special Guests
at Woodruff Arts Center’s Rich Theater, Saturday June 14
M’Boom Re: Percussion, the legendary jazz ensemble featuring a multitude of drummer/percussionists assembled and founded by music master Max Roach in the 1970’s reunites under the leadership of original member Joe Chambers for a special concert featuring the KBz Strings plus special guests at the Woodruff Arts Center’s Rich Theater, 1280 Peachtree St. NE, Atlanta, Ga. 30309 onSaturday, June 14, 2014 at 8:00 PM.  Tickets are $35 in advance, $45 at the door, $15 for students and can be purchased at Rich Theater call (404) 733-5000 or online at Woodruffcenter.org. A Q&A will take place prior to the show.First assembled by future NEA Jazz Master Max Roach in 1971 in order to showcase the percussion family’s wide range of musical capabilities, M’Boom re: Percussion initially brought together a half dozen jazz drummers – Roach, Joe Chambers, Freddie Waits, Roy Brooks, Warren Smith and Omar Clay – to perform in tandem on an expansive array of percussion instruments, large and small; from trap drums, tympani and marimba to triangles, bells and shakers.  The group’s 1973 eponymous debut recording on the AfroAmerican cooperative record label Strata East added Latin percussionist Richard “Pablo” Landrum on conga drums and bongos in the chair that is currently held by longtime band member Ray Mantilla.One of jazz’s most versatile veteran multi-instrumentalists, Joe Chambers  has appeared with many of the music’s greatest forward looking artists, including Joe Henderson, Andrew Hill, Freddie Hubbard, Bobby Hutcherson, Sam Rivers, Woody Shaw, Archie Shepp, Wayne Shorter and McCoy Tyner.  A leader in his own right, Chambers has recorded a host of critically acclaimed albums from his debut date The Almoravid to his most recent Grammy nominated recording Joe Chambers Moving Pictures Orchestra Live At Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola.  While well known for his impressive skills as a drummer, Chambers is an equally talented vibraphonist and composer, roles that will be showcased in this special concertM’Boom re: Percussion features Chambers and fellow original member Warren Smith, with longtime colleagues Ray Mantilla and Eli Fountaine and the ensemble’s newest constituent, multi-Grammy Award nominee Bobby Sanabria.  Collaborating with the group will be the KBz Strings, under the direction of Kerren Berz, the accomplished violinist and current Concertmaster of the Columbus (GA) Symphony Orchestra. Ms. Berz has performed with the Atlanta Symphony, the Harlem Festival Orchestra, and the Nashville Chamber Orchestra and shared the stage with musical legends, including Ray Charles, Sarah Vaughan, Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart and Joni Mitchell.  They will be joined by special guests, Atlanta multi-reedist Howard Nicholson and bassist Edwin Williams.This special concert will feature a multifaceted program from M’Boom’s expansive repertoire, including Omar Clay’s “Onomatopoeia” and Warren Smith’s “Elements Of A Storm / Thunder & Wind” (both from the group’s first album), Bobby Hutcherson’s beautiful “Poema Para Ravel” and the Chambers compositions “Gazelle Suite,” “The Gauntlet,” and “Samba de Maracatu,” as well as his arrangement of Janet Jackson’s pop hit “Come Back To Me.” Chamber’s notes that this melding of AfroAmerican and the European classical traditions is the next step in the evolution of M’Boom. In the past the ensemble has partnered with the World Saxophone Quartet (first at the Cathedral of Saint Johns the Divine in a concert aptly billed The Grand Collaboration and more recently at New York’s Birdland) with great results. This concert will undoubtedly be yet another important advance in the legendary ensemble’s storied history.

The goal of this project was simply to create some good, “fun to listen to” music. One way of doing this is to work with excellent musicians.
Another, for me, is to combine various styles that feels good to play. I had the pleasure of doing both. Hopefully the listener will enjoy what I was hearing in my head.”
Trumpeter, composer, arranger, author, educator,… Eddie Allen is one of the more versatile musicians on the New York scene. He’s called upon to play everything from jazz (big band as well as small ensembles) to R & B/pop to latin to symphonic to Broadway and everything in

between. He studied music, theory and arranging at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music in Milwaukee and the University of Wisconsin in Green Bay before moving to the east coast. He then attended William Paterson University of New Jersey where he received a Bachelor of

Music degree.

Since his arrival on the New York scene he’s worked with such jazz greats as; Art Blakey, Joe Henderson, Randy Weston, Dizzy Gillespie, Frank Foster, Billy Harper, Henry Threadgill, Bobby Watson, Jon Faddis, Benny Carter, Panama Francis and Steve Turre.
He has recorded and performed with, as well as composed for; Louis Hayes, Lester Bowie, Etta Jones & Houston Person, Mongo Santamaria, Chico Freeman, Charli Persip, Vanessa Rubin and Muhal Richard Abrams.
He currently leads a jazz quartet, a jazz quintet, an Afro-Cuban/Brasilian group called Salongo and a 16-piece big band called the Eddie Allen Aggregation. He continues to work as a free-lance musician, an educator and clinician.
