2010 class of Jazz Masters — the most esteemed prize given to jazz artists by
the U.S. government, was named a Fellow in the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences, and received the Mid Atlantic Living Legacy Award. A multiple Grammy
Award nominee, Barron was honored with induction into the American Jazz Hall of
Fame and received the MAC Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2005, New York’s Jazz

artist. Limited space; reservations will be available.
