Golden Ear Awards Program
Awards Ceremony
Monday, February 15, 2010
The Triple Door, 7pm
The Golden Ear Awards recognize and celebrate the outstanding achievements of the past year in Seattle jazz. This annual gathering, now in its 21st year, will feature a special performance by Greg Williamson A-Y-P Large Ensemble on Monday, February 15th at 7pm at the Triple Door. The emcee for the event is the celebrated jazz radio programmer Jim Wilke, who assures a genial, informed, and well-paced evening. In the process, Seattle jazz fans and performers take stock of and show gratitude for the region’s rich, vibrant jazz ecology.
Williamson’s A-Y-P Large Ensemble is a 16-piece group comprised of some of Seattle’s finest soloists. The group creatively re-imagines music from the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific (A-Y-P) Exhibition – Seattle’s first World’s Fair which attracted 3.7 million people. The ensemble presents pieces performed at and written especially for the exhibition (re-interpreted for a modern jazz orchestra), complete with period instruments and costumes. Williamson and the ensemble will also lead a post-awards jam session with some of the evening’s winners.
Ballot
The nominations included on the final voter ballot are drawn from a consensus of the suggestions Earshot receives. The final ballots consider work accomplished in the previous calendar year and are intended to recognize and reward artists and ensembles whose work for the prior year stands out as exemplary. Ballot write-in votes are also accepted. As always, the goal of this process is to get a sense of what the fans and musicians actually admire and support, not who can stuff the ballot box most!
