[Lazaro Vega]

Rufus Reid was awarded one as well.

[Mark Stryker]

On a personal note (and to brag), the sociologist Robin Stryker who also won a Guggenheim this year is my sister.

[Lazaro Vega]

Congratulations!

From the Ann Arbor News:

Geri A. Allen, an associate professor of music (at U of M), received the Guggenheim for a music composition project that celebrates the work of three artists - pianist-composers Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner and Cecil Taylor.

[Chuck Nessa]

Gimme one.

[paul secor]

Gimme one.

Sorry - Looks like you have to be an academic to qualify.

[KBL_JazzFool]

Gimme one.

Sorry - Looks like you have to be an academic to qualify.

Sorry, but this is not true. You do not have to be affiliated with an academic institution in order

to apply. Independent scholars and artists are free to apply.
