🎹Best Classical Compendium
🎻Best Orchestral Performance
🎺Best Instrumental Composition for Carlos Simon's "Hellfighters' Blues"
🎷Best Jazz Performance

An homage to one of America’s most important artistic movements and the breadth of jazz styles it has nurtured, "Harlem Renaissance" features works by Duke Ellington, Kurt Weill & Langston Hughes, James P. Johnson, Moisés Simons, W.C. Handy, Carlos Simon and Cab Calloway.

“'Harlem Renaissance' honors extraordinary Black composers and their kindred spirits — painters, poets, authors, sculptors and dancers — who together defined the ethos of 20th century American culture. We present these works not as museum-pieces but part of a continuum of style that continues to evolve a century later.”
