From Steve Crocker
There are a really interesting diverse and eclectic mix of winners in this year's Parliamentary Jazz Awards. I was really pleased to present the award of jazz vocalist of the year to a real favourite in our area, Newcastle's Zoe Gilby, who is not only a fantastic singer but also does so much to support jazz promoters in the region (see pic).
The ceremony was held at the Pizza Express in London's and winners came from many parts of the UK jazz scene - not just the London which tends to get all the plaudits in the jazz press at the moment. The list of winners gives a good snap-shot view of what is new and current in jazz while still giving due respect to people who've been involved for most of their lives. Lovely to see that so many of the nominees and winners have links to Northern Jazz promoter venues
