This year, we are excited to return to the LIVE Tribute format as we present the 2022 Jazz Tribute Awards Concert on Saturday, October 29th, at The Montalban Theatre in Hollywood honoring the amazing Rickey MInor. The Jazz Society will salute Rickey for his amazing career working with the biggest music talent in the world including Beyonce, Usher, Adele, Steve Wonder, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and many, many more. As Music Director, Producer, Composer, Bass player, Conductor and Author.

Our concert event will also present Ledisi with the Jazz Vocalist Award – she is one of the busiest jazz artists today - 12 time Grammy nominated - winning in 2021 - performing in film, television, solo and on tour; the legenday Bill Holman will receive our Lifetime Achievement Award for over 70 years of arranging, composing and conducting - receiving three Grammys. We're thrilled to honor KJAZZ radio - Saul Levine and Stephanie Levine - for their longstanding commitment and support of the jazz community with free jazz programs at local high schools; and extensive and diverse jazz programming. And, talented young trombonist Luciano Soriano, along with saxophonist Jack Lieberman will jointly accept the 2022 Shelly Manne New Talent Award.

The annual Los Angeles Jazz Society’s Jazz Tribute Awards Concert celebrates jazz and the talented people who have made this extraordinary music their life’s passion - all to raise funds for their important jazz education programs, benefiting many thousands of young people in the LAUSD public schools each year.

This annual Tribute is the Society’s primary fundraiser and we hope you will help us continue our highly acclaimed programs (Jazz in Schools, Bill Green Mentorship Program, Jeff Clayton Memorial New Note Commission) by supporting this year’s Jazz Tribute.
