[Harp-L] Jazz award for Toots



Just noticed this in the June 5, 2008, Chicago Tribune:

Former Chicagoan Lee Konitz, a revered alto saxophonist, is among six recipients of America's most prestigious jazz prize, the National Endowment for the Arts' Jazz Masters Award.

The other 2009 award winners, who will get their honors Oct. 17 at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, are guitarist George Benson, drummer Jimmy Cobb, harmonica virtuoso Toots Thielemans, trumpeter Snooky Young and recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder. Each winner receives $25,000.
