"I visited New York in '63, intending to move there, but I noticed that what I valued about jazz was being discarded. I ran into `out-to-lunch' free jazz, and the notion that groove was old-fashioned. All around the United States, I could see jazz becoming linear, a horn-player's world. It made me realize that we were not jazz musicians; we were territory musicians in love with all forms of African-American music. All of the musicians I loved were territory musicians, deeply into blues and gospel as well as jazz. " - Joe Sample

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.
