The NEA Jazz Masters program confers the nation's
highest honor for this uniquely American art on living artists.
Newly named NEA Jazz Masters receive their nation's recognition
at an awards ceremony and concert and are provided with a one-time
fellowship of $25,000. The program also includes a touring program,
television and radio broadcasts, compact disc recordings, and a
new publication. |

American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Genius will consist
