Hank Marr High School Jazz Award

Columbus musical legend Hank Marr was recognized as one of the world's masters of the Hammond B-3 organ. Along with Hank's celebrity status as a member of the jazz elite, he was a dedicated and gifted educator. In recognition of over fifty years as a performer, teacher, arranger, and conductor, the Jazz Arts Group of Columbus established the Hank Marr High School Jazz Award as a tribute to this special individual. His willingness to "pass it on" makes the encouragement of young jazz artists an important and meaningful activity.
