The Award was previously called Best Instrumental Jazz Album, Individual or Group from 1959 to 2011. The award will formally be discontinued from 2012 in a major overhaul of Grammy categories. From 2012, the title of the category will be shortened to Best Jazz Instrumental Album, while two previously separate categories (Best Contemporary Jazz Album and Best Latin Jazz Album) will now also fall under this category.
