Victoires du Jazz

Last updated

Les Victoires du jazz is a program of annual French jazz awards which grew out of the larger Victoires de la Musique (of which they first featured as a class of awards in 1986). The prizes were then awarded within the Victoires de la musique classique from 1994-2001. In 2002, a ceremony dedicated specifically to jazz was created. [1] [2] [3]
