1998 Critic's Choice Jazz Awards

15 июня 1998 года, возможно, войдёт в анналы истории джаза как одно из славных событий, сравнимых с Великим Днём в Гарлеме, фестивалем в Ньюпорте, задокументированным в фильме "Jazz On A Summer's Day", и мы не знаем, что ещё. Джазовые награды 1998 года были вручены в Alice Tully Hall в Lincoln Center, и выдающиеся музыканты, представители звукозаписывающей индустрии, менеджмент и персонал по изданию, журналисты и частные слушатели прославляли артистов, от Benny Carter (победителя Lifetime Achievement от Jazz Industry Coalition) до Ornette Coleman (музыкант года).

Писатель / актёр Eric Bogosian зарекомендовал себя как джазовый фанат и ведущий. Выступления Geri Allen Project, Mingus Big Band, Ravi и Alice Coltrane, квартета Joe Lovano, квинтета Dave Douglas, Joe Henderson and Friends были сами по себе прекрасны.

Но что по-настоящему было потрясяющим, так это грандиозный парад музыкантов, начиная с Horace Silver, заканчивая Paul Shaffer. Между ними: Elvin Jones, Andrew Hill, Jimmy Heath, Cassandra Ron Carter, Roy Haynes, Sue Mingus, Annie Ross, Marian McPartland, Eddie Palmieri, продюсер звукозаписи и кино Saul Zantz, James Jordan (руководитель музыкальной программы Совета по искусству Нью-Йорка) и Stanley Crouch были среди присутствующих. В зале также были: Olu Dara рядом с Pat Martino, Steve Turre со своей женой Akua Dixon, певец Andy Bey, Joe Zawinul, Chuck Mitchell и Richard Seidel из Verve Records, Bruce Lundvall и Tom Everd из Blue Note Records, David Sanchez, Edison Gomez, John Stubblefield, менеджеры Michelle Taylor и Robin Burgess (вместе с певицей Jeanie Bryson), вице-президент JJA Willard Jenkins и Suzan Jenkins (Американское джазовое наследие), журналисты Dan Morgenstern, Bob Blumenthal и Peter Watrous, и многие другие, чтобы вспомнить их всех...

Присутствовало большинство лауреатов премии - среди тех, кто получил награду вместо отсутствующих друзей и / или клиентов, были Jack DeJohnette, Mary Ann Topper (the Jazz Tree) и Matt Pierson из Warner Bros. Records, который сказал об усилиях по вручению премии: "То, что мы [представители отрасли] считали небольшим шагом в правильном направлении, сегодня вечером оказалось гигантским шагом".
