The Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album was an award presented at the Grammy Awards to recording artists for quality contemporary jazz performances. The honor was first presented to the Manhattan Transfer at the 34th Annual Grammy Awards (1992) for the song "Sassy". Pat Metheny (pictured) held the record for the most wins, with six, including five with the Pat Metheny Group. Randy Brecker received the award four times, including once with his brother Michael as the duo Brecker Brothers. The group Yellowjackets held the record for the most nominations without a win, with seven. In 2012, the award was discontinued in a major overhaul of Grammy categories, with contemporary jazz recordings shifted to the newly formed Best Jazz Instrumental Album category. (Full list...)
