The KBAs are awarded on the basis of merit by a select panel of blues professionals to those working to actively promote and document the music. “This year, the KBA Committee was thoroughly pleased with the quality of the nominees submitted for consideration,\u201d notes committee chair Art Tipaldi, editor of Blues Revue. \u201cThe fifteen recipients represent an outstanding cross-section of blues boosters.
