Nat Hentoff (pictured) last week joined an
august group that includes jazz greats like Miles
Davis and Ella Fitzgerald, when he was awarded a
Jazz Master Fellowship by the National
Endowment for the Arts. "No writer has been a
greater friend to jazz than critic, historian,
biographer and anecdotist Nat Hentoff," says the
NEA. Hentoff's weekly
column in the Voice, where he has written for
over 30 years, has also made him one of
the nation's most prominent defenders of civil
liberties.
