JAZZ OS MELHORES DA JJA

Três gigantes do saxofone – Sonny Rollins, Jimmy Heath e Joe Lovano – e o jovem trompetista Ambrose Akinmusire foram os principais vencedores dos prémios anuais da Jazz Journalists Association (JJA).

Os eleitores da associação, que tem mais de 450 membros no mundo todo, levaram em conta o ano-base de Abril de 2010 ao mesmo mês deste ano. Rollins – que celebrou os 80 anos com um concerto cantado em prosa e verso, em Setembro último, no Beacon Theatre – ganhou os prémios de músico do ano e de melhor sax tenor (ainda) em actividade.
