Commenting on the winners, Michael Connarty of the All Party Parliamentary Jazz Appreciation Group who organised the awards told CMU: “Each year we are knocked out by the consistent quality of the UK jazz scene, with long serving players, writers, educators and promoters being joined by a new generation of talent. We hope our Parliamentary Jazz Awards help encourage this creativity and draw others to share our enjoyment of British jazz”.
