Amerikanın ve dünyanın en saygın caz ödüllerinden olan Amerikan Caz Gazetecileri 2010 ödüllerine aday olan isimler ve çalışmaları geçtiğimiz günlerde ödül komitesi tarafından açıklandı.

Birliğe üye olan 60 profesyonel caz gazetecesi tarafından yıl içinde yayınlanan müzik ve müzik dökümantasyonu içinden yapılan değerlendirmelerle belirleniyor. Toplam 41 kategoride belirlenen adaylıkların kazananları geleneksel olarak 14 Haziran tarihinde yapılan özel bir gece ve kutlama ile sahiplerine teslim ediliyor.

Yılın adayları kimler diye merak ediyorsunuz elbette, işte bu yılın adayları listesi aşağıda. Bakın bakalım sizin adaylarınız kimler.

Sonuçları tahmin etmek zevkli bir uğraşı, biz de bu konuda kendi tercihlerimizi belirleyip duyuruyoruz ama özellikle bazı kategorilerde bilinmesi gereken detay ise aday olan müzisyenin o yılki etkinlikleri. Bu konuda fazla bilgi sahibi olunmadan ancak tesadüfen tercihlerde bulunma riski çok kuvvetli tabii ki...
