In recognition of his tremendous contributions in documenting the Seattle jazz scene
In March 2014 at the Royal Room, Industrial Revelation opened and closed a positively buoyant celebration of recent accomplishments by Seattle’s jazz community. Jim Wilke, host of Jazz Northwest and the nationally syndicated Jazz after Hours radio programs, both on KPLU, emceed the presentation of the Golden Ear Awards for 2013. We congratulate all the nominees in this annual look at the region’s vibrant jazz ecology.

About the Golden Ear Awards
Earshot Jazz initiated the Golden Ear Awards in 1990 to recognize the accomplishments of Seattle jazz artists over the previous year, and to induct significant members of the jazz community into the local Jazz Hall of Fame. Over the years, the award categories have shifted slighty, but the essence of the process has remained the same.
Have someone you’d like to nominate for the next Golden Ear Awards?
