The Achava Jazz Award distinguishes an artistically outstanding band project that focuses its work on the transcultural character of jazz on a very high artistic level by blending folk music, popular music or European art music, etc. into the improvisational or compositional characteristics of jazz. The music of the the Miguel Zenón Quartet is a perfect blend of Latin folk music and jazz.
