Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album

Der Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, auf Deutsch „Grammy-Award für das beste Jazz-Instrumentalalbum“, ist ein Musikpreis, der seit 2012 bei den jährlich stattfindenden Grammy Awards verliehen wird. Der Preis geht an Künstler für neue herausragende Alben im Bereich Jazz.

Der Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album wurde zum ersten Mal am 12. Februar 2012 verliehen. Er wurde aus den bis 2011 verliehenen Grammies für Best Instrumental Jazz Album, Individual or Group, Best Contemporary Jazz Album und der Best Latin Jazz Album zusammengelegt.^[1]

Den ersten Grammy dieser Kategorie gewann das amerikanische Jazztrio Corea, Clarke & White, das aus der Formation Return to Forever hervorging.
