2013 Jazz Journalism Awards
The Jazz Journalists Association, of which I'm a member, announced its awards yesterday. Here are the winners in the major categories (a full list of the nominees and the winners can be found here and here), followed by my own choices (which, as you will see, differ from the consensus more than usual).
(It's worth noting up top that Sonny Rollins was declared "Emeritus Jazz Artist / Beyond Voting," which, though a bit of a cop-out, is sort of fitting.)
Now the winners and my choices:
Lifetime Achievement
Winner: Wayne Shorter
My choice: Of the nominees, I too went with Shorter, but in the initial balloting, I voted for Charlie Haden, who didn't make it to the finals.
Musician Of The Year
Winner: Wadada Leo Smith
My choice: Ravi Coltrane
Composer-Arranged Of The Year
Winner: Maria Schneider
My choice: Maria Schneider
Up And Coming Artist Of The Year
Winner: Aaron Diehl
My choice: Ryan Truesdell, though in my initial vote, I picked Darcy James Argue (who, inexplicably, did not make it into the finals).
Record Of The Year

My choice: Among those nominated, Vijay Iyer, Accelerando (ACT); as my initial choice, Ravi Coltrane, Spirit Fiction (Blue Note)

Because I'm a client of Topper Jewelers, they gave me a 20% discount off the retail price, so paid USD $440 for this watch. As for TAG Heuers, I lost interest in the brand when they started...
