Bay Area Jazz Hero Awards: Dr. John Calloway | Civic Center

Multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, composer and educator Dr. John Calloway will be honored in a special concert and tribute on June 20 when he receives a local “Jazz Hero” award from a national jazz writers organization.

This year’s “Jazz Hero” awards will be presented in conjunction with the 2012 Jazz Journalists Association’s Jazz Awards honoring significant achievements in jazz music and journalism. The event, which runs from 6:30 until 9 pm, is free and open to the public, and will offer light appetizers, beverages and a musical performance by the Latin Jazz Youth Ensemble of San Francisco, of which Calloway is the musical director. Other testimonials and musical performances will be announced soon.
