"you rehearse until you're hitting everything on the head, and here comes a band like the Savoy Sultans, raggedy, fuzzy sounding, and they upset everything.'What am I doing here?' you wonder. But that's the way it is. That's jazz. If you get too clean, too precise. you don't swing sometimes, and the fun goes out of the music." - Trombonist Dicky Wells

Thursday, 03 April 2008

The NEA Jazz Masters Awards are the highest honors that our government bestows upon jazz musicians. These awards are given in recognition of this magnificent art form, so profoundly based in American culture and one of America's greatest gifts to the world.

In honor of Jazz Appreciation Month (April) 2008, Jazz Police is proud to join in presenting "LEGENDS OF JAZZ Presents the 2007 NEA Jazz Masters" as a special webcast premiere in conjunction with the entire online jazz community. This online video special, hosted by 2007 NEA Jazz Master Ramsey Lewis, features conversation and musical performances by bandleader and pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi, trombonist Curtis Fuller, vocalist Jimmy Scott, flutist Frank Wess, and saxophonist Phil Woods. Special guest and co-host Nancy Wilson interviews Ramsey Lewis about his music, 50-year career and his selection as an NEA Jazz Master.
