The Jazz Journalists Association 2024 Book Awards Nominee (History/Criticism/Culture)

Prize: Other distinction

Description

Jazz Journalists Association has launched its annual Jazz Awards season with announcement of 12 nominees and nine Honorable Mentions in two categories of Book of the Year (2023) Awards. Winners of the “Best Biography/Autobiography Award” and “Best Book of History, Criticism, Culture Award” will be determined by voting of the JJA’s approximately 250 international active members.

Nominees in most Jazz Awards categories are determined through a open-to-members nomination process, winners coming from second-stage voting. Book Award nominees screened by the committee and announced in advance to afford JJA voters time to read before voting begins (in early March).

“The number of quality jazz and jazz-related books published in 2023 was overwhelming,” says Bob Blumenthal, JJA Board member and Chair of the six-member committee that met monthly to discuss and review current titles for advancement as finalists in the organization’s celebrations of excellence in jazz and jazz journalism, now in its 28th year.
