What is the Jann Rutherford Memorial Award? 

The late jazz pianist and composer Jann Rutherford was a prominent and unique musical force in Australian and New Zealand. She was born blind and died of cancer at the young age of 38.

The Award was founded in 2005 to develop opportunities for emerging female jazz musicians. Funded by private donations in partnership with Melbourne International Women's Jazz Festival, Sydney Improvised Music Association, ABC Radio National and The Mietta Foundation, the award provides the recipient with assistance with national performances for her band, a recording for ABC Radio National and publicity and promotional materials. 

Past recipients of the award include Alex Silver, Hannah James, Ellen Kirkwood, Ali Foster, Jess Green, Jodie Michael and Jess Dunn and Harri Harding (of Sirens Big Band).
