About NEA Jazz Masters

Each year since 1982, the Arts Endowment has conferred the NEA Jazz Masters
Award to living legends in recognition of their outstanding contributions to
jazz. With this new class, 128 awards have been given to great figures of
jazz in America, including Count Basie, George Benson, Art Blakey, Dave
Brubeck, Betty Carter, Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis, Roy Eldridge, Ella
Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Herbie Hancock, Elvin Jones,
John Levy, Abbey Lincoln, Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, Cecil Taylor, Sarah
Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, and Teddy Wilson.

NEA Jazz Masters are selected from nominations submitted by the public and
receive a one-time fellowship award of $25,000, are honored at an awards
ceremony, and may participate in NEA-sponsored promotional, performance, and
educational activities. One-hundred seventy-three nominations were
considered for the 2013 NEA Jazz Masters. Only living musicians or jazz
advocates  (U.S. citizens or permanent residents) may be nominated for the
NEA Jazz Masters honor.

The NEA has created numerous resources as part of the NEA Jazz Masters
program, including:

*	Video tributes, brief video tributes to recent NEA Jazz Masters'
lives and careers in jazz,
*	Jazz Moments, 222 short audio pieces featuring musical excerpts and
short interviews with NEA Jazz Masters,
*	Podcasts with NEA Jazz Masters and other jazz figures about the
history and current state of jazz,
*	In-depth interviews with more than 45 NEA Jazz Masters,
*	NEA Jazz in the Schools, a free, five-unit, online curriculum
created in partnership with Jazz at Lincoln Center that explores jazz as an
indigenous American art form and a means to understanding American history,
*	NEA Jazz Masters Live grants to support performance and educational
activities featuring NEA Jazz Masters, administered by Art Midwest.

 In addition, the NEA supports the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program, an
effort to document the lives and careers of NEA Jazz Masters. In addition to
transcriptions of the hours-long interviews, the website also includes audio
clips with interview excerpts of the artists'  early years; their first
introduction to  music and jazz; as well as their unique personal
experiences in world of jazz.

The National Endowment for the Arts was established by Congress in 1965 as
an independent agency of the federal government. To date, the NEA has
awarded more than $4 billion to support artistic excellence, creativity, and
innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities. The NEA extends
its work through partnerships with state arts agencies, local leaders, other
federal agencies, and the philanthropic sector. To join the discussion on
