The Peter Whittingham Jazz Awards is now open for entries offering £5,000 for a jazz musician or group towards a creative project.
This is the 26th anniversary of the initiative with potential projects including a range of activity such as mentoring, collaboration, touring, showcasing, recording or promotion.
Previously, the prize has been awarded to some of today’s leading jazz musicians including Help Musicians UK ambassador Soweto Kinch, Scott Stroman, Errollyn Wallen MBE, Dave O’Higgins, Gwilym Simcock, Empirical, Led Bib and Roller Trio.
