ARSC Announces the Recipients of its Independent Initiatives Awards in Service to Historic Sound Recordings
The Association for Recorded Sound Collections has announced the recipients of this year's ARSC Awards for Independent Initiatives.
- Colin Hancock — for his use of historical recordings and recording technologies to better interpret the development of jazz.
- Ed Lacinski — for his mentoring of students in the art and science of audio production while preserving more than 2,000 of their performances over a 50-year period.
- Allan Sutton — for his extensive documentation of American record companies and his meticulous discographies of their recordings.
ARSC is pleased to honor these passionate, driven, dedicated individuals who are advancing the field of sound recording on their own, outside of their professional duties. Its Independent Initiatives Award carries a no-strings-attached prize of $5,000 per recipient to support, encourage, and promote their good works. Recipients will be honored the evening of May 18 at the association's annual awards ceremony held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel St Paul Downtown. Contact David Giovannoni for further information and for press access to award recipients.
