Parliamentary Jazz Award noms out
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 13 April 2010
Parliament may be shut for business while bosses there try to find some MPs who aren’t egotistical, out-of-touch, money-grabbing, self-seeking, tedious delusional fools (good luck with that by the way), but that hasn’t stopped the noms for this year’s Parliamentary Jazz Awards from being released, which is all jolly exciting.
The UK’s main jazz gongs fest is again organised by the All-Party Parliamentary Jazz Appreciation Group and sponsored by collecting society PPL. The boss of the latter, Fran Nevrkla, told CMU yesterday: “We at PPL are delighted to continue our long standing relationship with APPJAG and to be the main sponsor of these awards. These Jazz Awards remain a special night for Parliament, the jazz community and award recipients as well as for PPL and the music industry generally”.
The winners will be announced at a shindig in that conservatory that’s been stuck on the back of Parliament on 19 May. Here are the noms…
