The eleventh annual All Colors of Jazz Award ceremony will be held on November 19.

On November 19, the eleventh annual All Colors of Jazz Award ceremony will take place on the stage of the ODEON Theater. The event is organized by Radio JAZZ 89.1 FM.

Every year, both young performers and recognized masters take the stage, and every year is a celebration for all jazzmen and jazz lovers, Mariam Merabova said. The presenter revealed the secret of how the selection of applications among the nominees takes place. According to her, sometimes there are fewer applications, sometimes there are a lot. Over the eleven years of its existence, the award has steadily gained popularity and an excellent reputation among those who love jazz.

"The jury has to listen to a fairly large amount of material, and we all support both the performers and the venues. Of course, when an award gives a creative incentive to the nominees, we are just happy. But you need to understand that everything is in the hands of the person himself and everyone can have their say in art. Jazz is a great direction, it is both elitist, and recently it has become popular, because with the development of the festival movement it has become widespread," said Mariam Merabova.
