Baritone saxophonist Hamiett Bluiett, a co-founder of both the Black Artists Group and the World Saxophone Quartet, and Josh Weinstein, host of KDHX's eclectic jazz and improvised music program "All Soul No Borders" will be among the recipients of the fourth annual "Kick Ass Awards" sponsored by local literary magazine/arts cooperative 52nd City.
The awards ceremony/celebration is free and open to the public, and will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Monday, November 26 at Duff’s, 392 N Euclid Ave in the Central West End.
The Kick Ass Awards are presented to "St. Louisans, collaborators and organizations, (who are) dedicated to quietly improving the civic life of this City and region." The publishers of 52nd City Magazine and a small committee of volunteers selected the nominees for 2007.
Other 2007 recipients who may be familiar to local jazz fans include artist Bill Christman, who runs the performance space Joe's Cafe, and Bernie Hayes, known as a radio personality, journalist, author, teacher, master of ceremonies and "all around great guy."
