The Tui for Best Jazz Album was presented tonight at a cocktail
party attended by Wellington’s jazz community and sponsors and supported for
the Wellington Jazz Festival. The event
included Anthony Healey, Head of APRA and Damian Vaughan (Recorded Music New
Zealand). Jonathan Crayford picked up
the award for Best Album for East West Moon, which he recorded in
New York with Ben Street and Dan Weiss. Crayford
was up against some tough competition including veteran Jazzman Mike Nock (Vicissitudes)
and new comer Myele Manzanza (OnePointOne).
Callum Allardice (of The Jac) managed to swing Best
Composition for his piece Deep Thought. Festival favourites award went to The
Brad Kang Quartet for their amazing concert at St Peter’s on Friday night.
