Los Angeles Jazz Society's 27th Annual jazz Tribute Awards
10/10/2010 - By Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles Jazz Society's 27th Annual jazz Tribute Awards

From traditional melodic instrumentals, to pitch perfect vocals, to the rhythm of the Latin beat…it was a night of the sweet sounds of jazz at the Los Angeles Jazz Society’s Jazz Tribute Awards Dinner & Concert held Sunday October 10, 2010.

Hosting the dinner and concert as Master of Ceremonies was noted film critic & historian Leonard Maltin. The Los Angeles Marriott was the location for this annual benefit to help the LA Jazz Society promote, preserve and perpetuate the American art form of Jazz.

This year LAJS honored 2010 Latin Grammy nominee and previous Grammy winner Poncho Sanchez as the 2010 Jazz Tribute Honoree of the Year. Presenting the award to Poncho was his friend and jazz music enthusiast NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Other honorees included Grammy & Tony winner Dee Dee Bridgewater (Jazz Vocalist Award), Mike Melvoin (Lifetime Achievement Award), Bill Cunliffe (Jazz Composer/Arranger Award), Anita E. Berry (Teri Merrill-Aarons Founder Award), John Mosley (Jazz Educator Award) & Chloe Feoranzo (Shelly Manne Memorial New Talent Award).

The evening opened with a reception and silent auction, with guests serenaded with piano music by LAJS Mentor student Michael Ragonese. The Ballroom then came alive with the sounds of the All Star Big Band with honoree Bill Cunliffe conducting. Also performing was tremendously talented newcomer and honoree Chloe Feoranzo on saxaphone with her trio, followed by the vocal stylings of Dee Dee Bridgewater and her pianist Edsel Gomez that included some of the best of Billy Holiday.
