Congratulations to all the winners of the 2017 Jazz Journalists Association Jazz Awards for Jazz Journalism.  Professional journalist members of the JJA made open nominations in a first-selection round; those who received the most nominations advanced to the finalists’ ballot, and JJA’s professional members voted on them to arrive at these honorees.

Our congratulations, of course, to all the 2017 Nominees for Jazz Journalism in all categories. And please click the photos to expand them — some wonderful images here reward much larger presentation.
