Лауреаты и номинанты JJA Jazz Awards 2022

В начале мая американская Ассоциация джазовых журналистов в очередной раз объявила списое лауреатов своих ежегодных премий в области джазового исполнительства и журнализма. Как обычно, публикуем список лауреатов и номинантов по категориям исполнительского мастерства. Здесь много знакомых имен, особенно женских: год за годом удерживают свои позиции Мария Шнайдер, Анат Коэн, Мэри Хальварсон, Джейн Айра Блум, а премию за достижения в джазе в течение вусей жизни получила неувядаемая и активная в свои 93 года Шейла Джордан. Есть и новые имена-открытия, к ним тоже стоит присмотреться. Словом, список перед вами:
