Latin songstress Jennifer Zea's debut solo album, The Latin Soul, has been announced as one of three finalists for the 2013 Best Jazz Album.
The album was produced by fellow finalist Nathan Haines, who described the album as "An album that re-defines the term Latin music and is something I feel which is rather unique in the history of New Zealand"
Haines's ninth studio album is up for a Jazz Tui, alongside previous 'Best Jazz Album' winner Whirimako Black.
