The National Endowment of the Arts, formally inducting its 30th class of \u00c2\u00a0“Jazz Masters” with a concert at Jazz at Lincoln Center January 10 2012 that is being webcast live\u00c2\u00a0on\u00c2\u00a0WBGO Jazz 88.3FM<\/strong><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 and\u00c2\u00a0SiriusXM Satellite Radio’s Real Jazz Channel XM67<\/strong><\/a>, (starting at 7:30 pm ET) has announced that Jazz Masters will again be named and receive honoraria of $25,000 in 2013.<\/p>\n

Although this blog reported<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0last February that the NEA 2012 budget had cut out the Jazz Masters program, as well as awards for American Folk Heritage and Opera artists,\u00c2\u00a0“the program will continue awarding $25,000 fellowships annually,” public affairs specialist Sally Gifford responded to our query via e-mail. In July (2011), also as reported here,<\/a> \u00c2\u00a0the House Budget Committee directed the NEA to restore funding for the Jazz Masters and the Folk Heritage initiatives — though not the opera grant. However, there has been no public announcement of that directive being implemented until now.\u00c2\u00a0“Details about the 2013 NEA Jazz Masters celebration will be posted on\u00c2\u00a0arts.gov<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0as soon as they are available,” Ms. Gifford’s email continued.<\/p>\n

Including the 2012 inductees — \"\"<\/a>bassist Charlie Haden, drummer Jack \"\"<\/a>DeJohnette, vocalist Sheila \"\"<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Jordan, \u00c2\u00a0trumpeter Jimmy \"\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>Owens and saxophonist Von Freeman<\/p>\n

— the NEA has endorsed 124 jazz musicians and activist-supporters as genuine “Jazz Masters.”<\/p>\n

Masters are nominated by the general public, but selected by a small panel of experts convened by the NEA. Most recently, Jazz Masters designations and the financial gift have been by some monetary support for their tours and educational activities.<\/p>\n

Jazz Masters are profiled with brief videos and audio interviews produced and posted by the NEA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My favorites of the new classes’ recordings:<\/p>\n

Charlie Haden: Closeness Duets<\/a> (w\/ Ornette Coleman, Alice Coltrane, Keith Jarrett, \u00c2\u00a0Paul Motian); Liberation Music Orchestra<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(little big group agit-prop! thanks to Carla Bley et al)<\/p>\n

Von Freeman: Have No Fear<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(just the way he sounded, brimming),\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Lester Leaps In<\/a> (classic Chicago cast: pianist Jodie Christian, bassist Eddie de Haas, drfummer Wilbur Campbell);<\/p>\n

Sheila Jordan: Portrait of Sheila<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(1963, early flowering of her genius) \u00c2\u00a0Jazz Child<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0, my how she’s grown!<\/p>\n

Jack DeJohnette New Directions<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(w\/ Lester Bowie, John Abercrombie, Eddie Gomez);\u00c2\u00a0Song X<\/a> (Pat Metheny with Ornette Coleman), The Blessing<\/a> (with Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Charlie Haden)<\/p>\n

Jimmy Owens: Jimmy Owens <\/a>(1976, when he was baaaad),\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0One More – Music of Thad Jones<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(all star small group, great arrangements of swell tunes, warm tribute, 2005)<\/p>\n
