Eligible works must have received a UK premiere between 1 April 2009 and 31 March 2010, be composed by a UK composer and contain improvisation as an essential element. The Jazz category was first introduced last year to ensure Jazz had a profile amongst these unique and prestigious awards and was won by Jason Yarde for “Rhythm and Other Fascinations”.
