The Jazz Foundation of America will honor Carlos Santana<\/a> and Buddy Guy<\/a> at their annual A Great Night in Harlem event, April 14th at the Apollo Theater in New York City. The event borrows its name from Art Kane\u2019s 1958 photograph for Esquire<\/em>, \u201cA Great Day in Harlem,<\/a>\u201d which captured 57 jazz legends on East 126th Street.<\/p>\n

Santana will receive the JFA\u2019s inaugural Claude Nobs Award, named for the late founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Santana has been a regular at Montreux for years and has released numerous live albums and concert films documenting his performances there. Among the most notable are a 2007 release<\/a> chronicling his 1988 Montreux set with jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter and a concert film that captured his hits-packed set<\/a> at the 2011 fest.<\/p>\n

Guy, meanwhile, will receive the 2020 JFA Lifetime Achievement Award for his storied career as a pioneering blues guitarist. The JFA will also honor its vice chair and founding director, Wendy Oxenhorn, for her contributions to the organization \u2014 she helped launch A Great Night in Harlem in 2001 \u2014 and her prowess as a harmonica player. Drummer and producer Steve Jordan will serve as the night\u2019s musical director.<\/p>\n

Tickets for A Great Night in Harlem are on sale now via the JFA\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Santana has a European tour scheduled for this spring, although he\u2019s set to kick off a North American run<\/a> with Earth, Wind and Fire June 19th in Chula Vista, California. He also has stints at the House of Blues in Las Vegas<\/a> scheduled for May, September and November.<\/p>\n

Guy also has a busy few months ahead, with a North American tour<\/a> set to kick off Wednesday, March 4th in Davis, California, and run all the way through September 30th in Seattle.<\/p>\n
