Jazz Vocalist of the Year
Elaine Delmar
Born in Hertfordshire, UK, Elaine was raised in a strong musical environment, her father being the renowned trumpeter Leslie ‘Jiver’ Hutchinson, a leading influence in the jazz and dance band movement in Britain from the 1930s onwards.
After initially studying classical piano, Elaine found a natural progression in singing and became a vocalist in her father’s own band at sixteen. It was soon apparent that her vocal talent and natural affinity with the stage would lead her to triumph in many areas of the entertainment world.
Elaine’s experience is indeed wide and diverse. Her first theatre appearance was in a revival of Finian’s Rainbow in the late 50’s at the New Shakespeare Theatre, Liverpool. She then became a member of a group called The Dominoes before starting her career on the London stage, appearing in Cowardy Custard at the Mermaid Theatre and No Strings at Her Majesty’s Theatre. Although best known for her later starring role in the musical Bubbling Brown Sugar at The Royalty Theatre, London, she also had notable success with Kern Goes To Hollywood, appearing in both the London and Broadway productions. Elaine also received critical acclaim as a straight actress for her role in A Map Of The World at the prestigious National Theatre. She has made many appearances on TV and radio and featured in Ken Russell’s film Mahler as the Bohemian Princess.
Elaine’s recording career began in the early 60’s when she recorded various albums for one of her early champions, producer Denis Preston of Lansdowne Records. The first was an EP titled A Swinging Chick featuring the wonderful talent of Victor Feldman. Amongst her other albums, Elaine has also released the highly-acclaimed Elaine Sings Wilder, a tribute to one of America’s lesser-known composers, Alec Wilder. This album has become something of a collector’s item. The pianist and musical director on this record was Colin Beaton, one of Elaine’s mentors and early musical influences. She later went on to make a double album for Denis Preston entitled Elaine Delmar and Friends featuring Tony Coe, Alan Branscombe, Eddie Thompson and Pat Smythe, another great influence on Elaine’s musical life.
Elaine’s more recent recordings ’Swonderful, Nobody Else But Me and But Beautiful all feature Brian Dee, the much-respected jazz pianist and accompanist with whom Elaine worked for over 20 years. In 2013 Elaine received the APPJAC SPECIAL AWARD FOR JAZZ from Michael Connarty MP at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards at the House of Commons.
Elaine is equally at home whether entertaining a concert audience or performing in the more intimate cabaret/small theatre setting. For example, she has appeared in concert with Andy Williams (Free Trade Hall, Manchester) and Michel Legrand with the London Symphony Orchestra (Royal Albert Hall, London). In cabaret, her performances have included appearances at The Ritz Hotel, London, as well as on the QE2 and numerous other cruise liners around the globe. In recent years Elaine has been the star vocalist in such touring shows as Let’s Do It saluting the music of Cole Porter, and the musical celebration By George, It’s Gershwin.
Elaine’s popular appearances at the world-famous Ronnie Scott’s Club in London have shown her to be remarkably adaptable in a jazz setting, having worked here at different times with such jazz giants as Herb Ellis, Benny Carter and Stephane Grappelli. Her recent season and her live album at Ronnie Scott’s evidence a singer who remains in the prime of her performing life. By popular demand, she regularly headlines at the club.

Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year
Gary Husband
Gary Husband is one of a rare breed of musicians in that his expression is divided equally in his capacity as a drummer and a pianist and keyboardist of international repute. His classical roots, his quest and development in the improvisational, jazz and jazz/fusion areas – not to mention his tenure in the pop, rock, funk and blues circuits – are all evident inside Gary’s distinct and far-reaching musical personality. His solo album and DVD output has also reinforced his status as a critically acclaimed writer and arranger in the contemporary music world.
For close to four decades Gary has worked alongside a vast and eclectic range of celebrated musicians including John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Jeff Beck, Jack Bruce (Cream), Gary Moore (Thin Lizzy), British pop/funk band Level 42, Billy Cobham, Al Jarreau, Mike Stern (Miles Davis), John Wetton (King Crimson), Chris Squire (Yes), Andy Summers (The Police), Steve Hackett (Genesis), Robin Trower (Procol Harum), and with producers Sir George Martin (Beatles), Trevor Horn (Grace Jones & Art of Noise), Quincy Jones (Michael Jackson), Jerry Hey and James Guthrie (Pink Floyd).
Further associations and performing/recording credits include his work with Randy Brecker, Jan Hammer, Jerry Goodman, fusion/jam band Gongzilla, Germany’s NDR Bigband, Soft Machine, Maria Schneider, Christian McBride, Eddie Van Halen, Dean Brown, Bob Berg, Nguyên Lê, Joe Lovano, Charles Tolliver, Bireli Lagrène, Peter Erskine, Ron Sexsmith, drum n’ bass protagonists Lemon ‘D’ and Dillinja.
As an internationally established drum clinician he has performed alongside Dennis Chambers, Vinnie Colaiuta, Terry Bozzio, Billy Cobham, Simon Phillips, Omar Hakim, Ricky Lawson, Todd Sucherman, Paul Wertico, Denny Seiwell and Bernard Purdie, and most recently has been developing a series of motivational videocasts in drumming.
His alter-ego as a pianist/keyboard player brings an extra dimension to his musicality at the drums. Indeed, he has been the keyboardist & second drummer in John McLaughlin’s 4th Dimension since 2007. Gary continues to devote a substantial proportion of his time recording and performing worldwide across many styles of music.
Jazz Album of the Year
Jo Harrop and Paul Edis: ‘When Winter Turns To Spring’
Lateralize Records announced the release of When Winter Turns To Spring – the first album by Jo Harrop and pianist, Paul Edis. After receiving unanimous critical acclaim for her solo debut, The Heart Wants, Harrop has spent the last year working in London’s Gorilla Studios with Edis and producer, Jamie McCredie, to create this richly textured and reflective journey through the seasons. Seamlessly combining Bacharach-esq chamber pop and sophisticated jazz, When Winter Turns To Spring is a beautiful, wistful album that defies categorisation.
“Most of the songs on this record seem to be about the circle of nature and the cycle of life reminding us that all is not lost,” she explains. “Winter is temporary, as is loss, and spring and love will come again.
“We often hear love being compared to the changing seasons. Summertime is associated with romance and joy – mellow and warm. Spring is the season where nature is brought back to life by its welcome kiss, lifting us out of a long, cold and dark winter, which brings lost love or loneliness to mind. It is autumn that brings a bittersweet melancholy to the fore. The colours and romance of autumn co-exist with an inescapable feeling of something slowly dying…the end of balmy summer days with winter looming ahead.”
“There are songs about love and loss as well as new life and new hope,” adds Edis. “From the romantic album opener, Short Story, which begins in autumn, through to the rather dramatic November scene of a windswept Soho in Umbrellas In The Rain, weather is a common lyrical theme running through these songs, but they are about so much more than they initially appear to be.”
Born in Durham and raised on a musical diet of Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin, Jo Harrop moved to London and quickly established herself as one of the most unmistakable voices in British jazz. Having signed to London-based jazz label, Lateralize Records, she released Weathering The Storm, her debut with guitarist, Jamie McCredie, and The Heart Wants, which has received rave reviews everywhere from The Times to The Guardian, been played extensively on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2 and Jazz FM and is currently riding high in the US Jazz Album Charts.
Paul Edis is one of the leading creative musicians in the UK today. As a performer, composer and educator, he has built a reputation for consistently delivering new and original ideas, seeking to innovate within his work whilst always paying respect to both the Jazz and Classical music traditions. In whatever genre or musical context, he inhabits, Paul is passionate about melody and expression.
He has released several critically acclaimed recordings of new music in recent years, regularly receives commissions from a wide variety of organisations, and is known for his communication skills and breadth of knowledge, working as an educator for organisations including Sage Gateshead, National Youth Jazz Orchestra and National Youth Jazz Collective.
As well as leading his own sextet, trio and performing solo engagements, Paul works regularly with vocalist Jo Harrop, saxophonist Vasilis Xenopoulos, and he has performed alongside leading jazz names including Jon Faddis, Alan Barnes, Bruce Adams, Nigel Price, Jim Mullen, Tim Garland, Julian Siegel, Tony Kofi, Steve Waterman, Iain Ballamy and Mark Nightingale. His music has been played on the radio in the UK, US and in Europe.
A perfect blend of originals and timeless perennials framed by Paul Edis’ elegant arrangements, When Winter Turns To Spring finds Jo Harrop at the peak of her powers, her beautifully understated smoky voice delicately poised between beguiling sensuality and exquisite fragility.

Jazz Ensemble of the Year
Ubunye
The pounding rhythms of Africa blended with the explosive energy of a live band. This vibrant group of Zulu performers combined with seasoned musicians from the UK mix ancient tradition with contemporary flare. Ubunye deliver a soulful, goose bump inducing performance of original pieces cleverly fused with South African songs. It is a fantastic multi-cultural experience.
“In that moment, it seemed hard to believe that anything so propulsive and joyous could come to a halt. The same could be said about the applause and shouts that followed.” Wakefield Jazz.
“Ubunye is a joyous celebration and proof, should it be needed, of the creative energy and unity possible when cultures meet through the medium of music. Rejoicing in their wide-ranging backgrounds, ages and styles, they were a surefire hit with the Manchester Jazz Festival audience, uplifting the soul with their close vocal harmonies, undulating rhythms, and affirmative lyrics, and with a powerful facility to reach and affect listeners far beyond the reaches of jazz.” – Steve Mead, Artistic Director, Manchester Jazz Festival.

Special APPJG Award
Tony Haynes and the Grand Union Orchestra
Tony Haynes in 1941 is an English composer and bandleader best known for his work with Grand Union Orchestra since 1982.He plays piano and trombone.
Tony Haynes’s musical career began in 1954, as a 13-year-old piano and trombone player in dance bands. He also had stints as a church organist and brass band trombonist, but playing jazz was a more formative experience. As a teenager in the 1950s, Haynes listened to early and modern jazz alongside a lot of European classical music.
After studying music at the University of Oxford, Haynes took a postgraduate degree in contemporary music at the University of Nottingham, working simultaneously as musical director at the Nottingham Playhouse and composing music for the resident repertory company’s productions.
In the late 1960s, Haynes visited Portugal as a working musician where he heard Fado and Bossa nova courtesy of Lisbon students and a Brazilian musician. Returning to the country in 1975, shortly after the revolution, Haynes met musicians from former Portuguese colonies Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, and Mozambique.
In Autumn 1975, Haynes founded the ten-piece British jazz rock band Red Brass, initially as an offshoot from the left-wing theatre ensemble Belt & Braces Roadshow. Red Brass was celebrated for the social and political content of Haynes’s compositions and became one of the most ubiquitous groups on the jazz scene, earning praise from Melody Maker and The Times. Musicians included trumpeter Dick Pearce, saxophonists Pete Hurt and Chris Biscoe, and singers Heather Jones and Annie Lennox.
Red Brass released one album, Silence Is Consent, on the Riverside Recordings label in 1976, and toured extensively until breaking up in 1979.
Haynes’s imaginative vocal arrangements for three female singers were key to the group’s distinctive sound, which incorporated Latin percussion, jazz-flavoured brass, a rock-rhythm section, unaccompanied harmony singing, and relatively unusual instruments including the glockenspiel, tubular bells, timbales and spoons.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Haynes_(English_composer)
Grand Union was founded in 1982 by Tony Haynes, David Bradford, John Cumming and Julie Eaglen, with the aim to tour theatrical works with music at their core. Tony Haynes plans the Company’s shows and ancillary projects, writing and arranging most of the Orchestra’s music.
Tony publishes monthly essays on his work in his blog, which gives detailed insights into how Grand Union’s repertoire is put together, his composition techniques, the context behind the Orchestra’s live shows and albums, and the background of its artists.
His art is compelling music theatre, in which storytelling is an essential part and the lived experience of the performers, and collaborates with writers, poets and lyricists from across the world.
Their third touring show, Strange Migration, was crucial in shaping all our subsequent work, introducing non-European performers and embracing less familiar musical cultures.
In 1984, Tony Haynes composed The Song Of Many Tongues in response to a commission from the Greater London Council. The show toured England for two years and became their debut album in 1986.
In the words of co-founder Tony Haynes:
“Since it began in 1982, Grand Union Orchestra has been making music that reflects and absorbs diversity. It has been my honour to compose nearly 40 major shows across four decades for the company, working with some of the UK’s leading migrant musicians of each generation, whose talents and cultural generosity have been my source of constant inspiration.
Our mission has been to represent the ever changing demographic and cultural musical influences that thrive in Britain today, addressing the myriad social and political issues associated with cultural diversity and integration. Grand Union’s inspiration has always been the authentic migratory stories of our extraordinary musicians from across the globe.
Young people and their blossoming musical talents and professional ambitions are an integral part of our work. Supporting them through mentoring, performance opportunities and building skills alongside our core musicians has been at the heart of Grand Union Orchestra and we are proud to have been the springboard for many generations of the UK’s leading musical talents”.
Since the 1980s, their music has been performed live, nationally and internationally, and broadcast on all major radio stations. They have released a series of albums through their own label, Red Gold Records.
Their large-scale shows are developed by a core group of musicians in conjunction with amateur performers from local cultural and community groups. These have included:
- Threads (Manchester 1986)
- If Music Could (Warwickshire 1990, London 1992, Slough 1997)
- Shadows Of The Sun (Clerkenwell Festival, London 1992)
- Nau Charia De (Spitalfields, London 1994/95)
- Dancing In The Flames (London 1995/96, Melbourne 2005)
- Where The Rivers Meet (Sadler’s Wells, London 2000)
- Beyond The Silk Road (UK 1999)
- Doctor Carnival (UK 2001-2005)
- On Liberation Street (Leeds, Gateshead, London 2005-2009)
- Song Of Contagion (Wilton’s Music Hall, London 2017)
Since 2011 Grand Union have created a number of shows for London’s Hackney Empire, including:
- The Golden Highway (2012)
- Liberation & Remembrance (2012)
- Music Untamed (2013)
- Undream’d Shores (2014)
