2019 Parliamentary Jazz Awards - Entrepreneur Generations

There are lots of jazz awards now - the JazzFM, British Jazz Awards, Scottish Jazz Awards, the JJA awards etc - but arguably the most coveted awards are the UK Parliamentary Jazz Awards. Everyone gets a chance to shortlist their favourite artist/venue/musician/album etc, the winners are then chosen from the shortlists by members of the All Party Parliamentary Jazz Appreciation Group of MP's  co-chaired by Kelvin Hopkins MP and Lord Colwyn. The awards are supported by PizzaExpress Live. The categories this year are

    Jazz Album of the Year (released in 2018 by a UK band or musicians)
    Jazz Vocalist of the Year (UK-based vocalist who impressed in 2018)
    Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year (UK-based musician who impressed in 2018)
    Jazz Ensemble of the Year (UK-based group who impressed in 2018)
    Jazz Venue of the Year (including jazz clubs, venues, festivals and promoters)
    Jazz Media Award (including broadcasters, journalists, magazines, blogs, listings and books)
