JazzPolice.com has been nominated for Minnesota
Online Music Media of the Year for the 2006 Minnesota
Music Awards. We would like to thank all who voted to nominate us! This
is the first time a Jazz focused website has been nominated for Online Music Media of the Year,
and we are very grateful for the recognition.
JazzPolice.com is an online Jazz and travel information website in its'
3rd year of operation. JazzPolice.com has a mission of promoting the
best of live jazz in local communities nationwide, particularly for
travelers. This service is a benefit to traveling jazz fans who are
looking to enjoy great live jazz when on the road. It also helps local
jazz clubs and restaurants by sending more out-of-town dollars to their
businesses. By helping people find live music we hope to help increase
demand for live jazz so, as the late Dewey Redman once said, “musicians
can keep appearing and stop disappearing”.
26th Annual Minnesota Music Awards Ceremony will be hosted by
Mary Lucia and Brian Oake on Sunday, October 1st at the fabled
First Avenue Club in Minneapolis. The Minnesota Music Academy was
established in 1985 to promote the accomplishments of the Minnesota
music community and to provide recognition for those Minnesota
musicians who made exceptional contributions to the vitality of
Minnesota music. Since its creation, the MMA has produced musical
showcases, music-related educational forums and has produced the
Minnesota Music Awards. The success of the MMA is evident by its loyal
membership which consists of musicians, audio-technicians, producers,
engineers, agents, club managers and owners, music-related artists,
music-related businesses and appreciators of Minnesota music.
Members of the Minnesota Music Academy determine the winners for
each category. Membership is open to the Minnesota public. The
independent accounting firm of Eide Bailly LLP is responsible for the
tabulation of the winners and all ballot remain confidential.
Please go to minnesotamusicacademy.org
for more information on how to become a member and the benefits it
offers. Yearly membership dues are $25.
