Bublé, Krall, Cook win Smooth Jazz Awards
March 8, 2008
Toronto -- After two consecutive wins in the keyboard category, Carol Welsman might have felt slighted when Kristian Alexandrov was announced as Keyboardist of the Year during the fourth-annual Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards ceremony at Mississauga's Living Arts Centre last night. Not to worry, though, for the Toronto-based singer and pianist got a nice consolation prize: Album of the Year, for her self-titled sixth CD.
Welsman was one of many repeat winners. Crooner Michael Bublé, who took Male Vocalist and Best Original Composition honours in 2006 repeated the feat, while flutist Alexander Zonjic, who tied for Wind Instrumentalist in 2006 was named Broadcaster of the Year last night. Jesse Cook won his second award in the guitar category, while pianist Diana Krall was given her fourth "Smoothie" for Female Vocalist of the Year.
Singer and trumpeter Allistair Elliott was this year's top wind instrumentalist, British guitarist Peter White was the International Instrumentalist, and singer Randy Crawford, who marked a comeback with her first album in six years, Feeling Good, was International Vocalist of the Year.
