It's the MOBOs on Saturday, and Sons of Kemet, Courtney Pine, Soweto Kinch, Jazz Jamaica, and Lineage have all been nominated in the best jazz act category this year. The 12,000 seater SSE Hydro in Glasgow plays host to the awards which have added weight this year, for jazz anyway, as the Mercurys, bizarrely, saw fit to ignore the genre. Last year's the MOBO for best jazz act went to pianist Zoe Rahman. The full list of nominees in all categories can be found at www.mobo.com/news-blogs/mobo-awards-2013-nominations-list-revealed
