JAZZ

The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded its 1989 Jazz Master Fellowships to pianist-composer Barry Harris, pianist-composer Hank Jones and jazz vocalist Sarah Vaughan for their artistic contributions and distinguished careers. “Through these distinguished awards, the U.S. government is formally recognizing what the American people have known all along--that this trio of jazz legends are truly ‘Jazz Masters’ of our time,” said Endowment Chairman Frank Hodsoll. Harris, Jones and Vaughan each will receive a one-time fellowship of $20,000 to support a project of their choice.
