The 2006 Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame was presented on Saturday August 26, 2006, at Capitol Keyboard in LIttle Rock, at 7:30pm. We were very fortunate to have the Sam Rivers Quartet performing at the Hall of Fame - a very special evening.
The following were honored with induction into the Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame, based on their outstanding contributions to jazz music and their connection with Arkansas -
- Jim Porter, jazz and concert promoter in Little Rock.
- John Puckett, jazz keyboard player from Hot Springs;
- Sam Rivers, jazz saxophonist and composer, who grew up in North Little Rock;
Note: AMG indicates inclusion in the All-Music Guide, a comprehensive musical database on the web, including discographies and reviews. Jazz-Index is a bibliographic search service offered by the Jazz-Institut in Darmstadt, Germany.
Candidates were chosen based upon the following criteria:
- Candidate must be an Arkansas native or have established residence in Arkansas.
- Candidates must have a history of significant accomplishments and/or contributions to the jazz arts. This may be within the State of Arkansas or on the national/international level. A candidate may be a musician, composer, educator, writer, or major contributor to the jazz field.
- Election by the members of The Arkansas Jazz Heritage Foundation.
