Co-sponsored by Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium (CBJC) and RestorationART, the affair was held on the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation\u2019s campus on June 19.<\/p>\n<p>The BJHoFAME program included presentations by the Jazzteenth Freedom Ensemble, Emmanuel Baptist Church Worship Team, and Shanto\u2019s Drum Procession. Rising star, flutist Gabrielle Garo received the Deacon Leroy Applin Young Lioness Award in recognition for her musical achievements. At the post-reception, catered by Sugar Hill Supper Club, guests danced to the sounds of Doug Guthrie &amp; the Caribbean Jazzy Combo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCentral Brooklyn is blessed to have had jazz giants such as Max Roach, Roland Alexander, Betty Carter and Randy Weston share their voices for and with the community,\u201d stated Chairman Clarence Mosley, Jr. during the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Randy Weston joins jazz greats, Lena Horne, Herbie Mann, Cecil Payne and others in the BJHoFAME. Membership is based on several factors, including the social impact of the musician. Weston was an advocate of the African origins of music, and the rhythms he used became a component of jazz. Weston\u2019s induction compliments the program\u2019s Juneteenth and Black Music themes.<\/p>\n<p>The event was supported by New York City Council Member Robert E. Cornegy, Jr. Media sponsors included Our Time Press and Jazz Promo Services.
