An annual scholarship named for publisher and jazz educator Jamey Aebersold is set to be awarded during the 10th annual Jazz Education Network conference in Reno, Nevada, which is slated to run Jan. 9-12.
JEN, which aims to promote the performance of jazz while building an enthusiastic audience for the music, has raised $67,000 of a $100,000 goal to endow the $1,000 annual scholarship, according to a press release.
Scholarship funds are to be used to cover costs associated with higher education.
“Jamey’s countless groundbreaking publications and global distribution of educational jazz materials, along with his more than five decades of summer jazz camps, clinics and advocacy for jazz education, make him well-deserving of this honor,” said Bob Sinicrope, an educator and former JEN president, about the scholarship’s creation. “It is only fitting that JEN establishes this scholarship as an everlasting tribute to Jamey’s dedication to jazz and generosity to students and educators alike.”
