Commenting on the winners, the Co-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Jazz Appreciation Group, which is a thing, told CMU: “The Parliamentary Jazz Awards is the way MPs and Peers of all political parties aim to support British jazz by recognising and honouring the amazing musical talent we have in this country. The star studded names of this year’s winners speak for themselves and we are very grateful to PPL for sponsoring the Awards”.
