Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album has been presented since 1992. The award has had several minor name changes:
- In 1992 the award was known as Best Contemporary Jazz Performance
- From 1993 to 1994 it was awarded as Best Contemporary Jazz Performance (Instrumental)
- From 1995 to 2000 it was awarded as Best Contemporary Jazz Performance
- Since 2001 it has been awarded as Best Contemporary Jazz Album
Until 2001, both albums and singles were eligible for this award. In three years (1992, 1995 and 1996) the award went to individual tracks rather than albums.
Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year.
