UK charity Help Musicians is inviting applications for its prestigious Peter Whittingham Jazz Award, which offers financial support and business advice for jazz musicians or bands ‘at a tipping point’ in their careers.
The award scheme is now in its 32nd year. Previous winners include Soweto Kinch, Errollyn Wallen, Xhosa Cole and Roller Trio.
One musician will receive £5,000 in financial support that can be used to fund a range of activities including recording, filming, touring and mentoring, as well as one-to-one business advice tailored to their needs and delivered via experienced music industry professionals.
An additional £5,000 is distributed between two Development Awards for musicians who demonstrate the potential to make an impact in the jazz scene.
