JAZZ RHYTHM is honored to receive a 2004 Gabriel Award in the company of such outstanding media organizations as ABC News, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, WNET-TV 13, Minnesota Public Radio and New Line Cinema.
The Award goes to the series as a whole for national release radio programming in Entertainment/Arts during 2003. Excerpts representing the series were submitted from the programs, “Digging Spud Murphy,” “Django: Life, Legend, Music” and “Celebrating James P. Johnson” -- with actor Peter Coyote guest narrator on the latter two productions.
The single most important criterion for selecting a Gabriel-winning program is “its ability to uplift and nourish the human spirit.”
The Gabriels are presented each year by the Catholic Academy for Communication Arts Professionals honoring industry professionals who produce films, television and radio programs that serve viewers and listeners through the positive, creative treatment of human concerns.
JAZZ RHYTHM has previously received Golden Reel awards in 2001, 2002 and 2003 from NFCB, the National Federation of Community Broadcasters.
