“The South Florida Jazz Hall Of Fame idea had been on the back burner for far too long. The realization was past due and, in January 2009, the work actually began. In an effort to pay homage to, show appreciation for, and pay tribute to some of South Florida’s legends, present and past, this is a mere “thank you”. We honor those who made/make it possible for us to participate and prosper, and those who have made an impact in the world of Jazz on these South Florida shores, and on the world stage.
We are proud of our heritage and of the contributions South Florida has made and continues to make for the preservation and authenticity of a culture, of a people, and of America’s classical music, Jazz. Although we feel this acknowledgement is gaining ground, it was, as stated above, long past due. We have so many who are deserving of this distinction, so we can look forward to many more induction ceremonies." - Ms. Alice Day
This year we celebrate the induction of our chosen 2015 honorees:
1. Tony Castellano - Piano *
2. Don Cohen – Promoter *
3. John “Spider” Martin – Saxophone *
4. Nicole Yarling – Vocalist/Violin/Educator
5. Dr. Lonnie Smith – Hammond B3 Organ
6. Duffy Jackson - Drums
* Posthumously
Please join your South Florida Jazz community as we bear witness to this wonderful and historic annual event on Sunday, July 24th, 2016 at Miami Shores Country Club. The festivities will be presented from 6:00PM until 9:00PM so come prepared to have a very good time – eat, drink, be merry and honor those who have kept, and continue to keep, the Jazz flame burning! The Sunshine Jazz Organization will also sponsor a Silent Auction featuring some great Jazz memorabilia.
