Every city has its jazz heroes, and Des Moines is no exception. For the past 20 years, the Community Jazz Center of Greater Des Moines (CJC) has honored these heroes with its Annual Hall of Fame and Special Recognition Awards. This year’s event is scheduled for the evening of Sunday, October 24, at Noce in downtown Des Moines.
CJC will be inducting pianist Jason Danielson and trombonist Paul Bridson into the Hall of Fame, which now numbers a total of 56 individuals from the jazz community.
