Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album

The Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album is an award presented at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards, to recording artists for quality works in the vocal jazz music genre. Awards in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".

History

Until 2001 this award was titled the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance. From 1981 to 1991 (except for 1985) this category was presented as separate awards for Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Female and Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Male. Since 2001, only the performing artist has been regarded a nominee. For a winning album, the producer(s) and engineer(s)/mixer(s) also receive a Grammy statuette. Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year. ==Recipients==
