The Swiss Jazz Award is awarded annually to whichever Swiss jazz group has proved most popular with the jazz, soul and blues fans who listen regularly to Radio Swiss Jazz during the last 12 months and which consequently wins the most votes in the Internet ballot held at www.swissjazzaward.ch. Starting in 2011, visitors to the JazzAscona Festival can also influence the outcome by attending a live contest between the nominees. The Swiss Jazz Award was launched in 2007 by Radio Swiss Jazz and the organizers of the popular summer festival JazzAscona.
Voting for the Swiss Jazz Award has now entered the second round. This means that, of the five bands originally nominated, the two with the fewest audience votes have already been eliminated. This is where things get really exciting! The following three bands are still in with a chance of the Award. Decide which one you think should win, and then vote!
