When she picked up her Grammy for Best New Artist tonight, Norah Jones gave an onstage shout-out to the musicians on her album, including Bill Frisell, Kenny Wollesen, Tony Scherr, Rob Berger and Jenny Scheinmann. Who thought we'd ever hear those names announced onstage at the Grammy Awards? Steve Smith ssmith36@sprynet.com NP - The Grammys

Did Dave Douglas win in his category? sh (who flat out refuses to watch award shows) http://www.skipheller.com (the new and improved website) on 2/23/03 8:01 PM, Steve Smith at ssmith36@sprynet.com wrote:

No, Herbie Hancock won that one, predictably. A shame... as much as I love Dave, I was rooting for Wayne Shorter to nab that one. (Dave, after all, has many more chances ahead.) And Skip, I sympathize with your position, you know I do. But the one thing on tonight's telecast that you would *genuinely* have enjoyed was Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt, Elvis Costello and Dave Grohl playing one hell of a charged-up "London Calling," with The Clash on the video screens in the backround. Even if virtually everything else on the show was crap (though I did enjoy the incredibly sexy No Doubt, the incredibly humble John Mayer, and the New York Philharmonic playing Bernstein), this one moment was everything I was hoping it might be.

What the hell did Herbie do/play this yr that rated a Grammy, or even a wizened little nod? I don't hate the idea of giving worthy people some recognition. But the competition aspect is probably left as far from art as LA is from NY (and if that metaphor isn't a veiled comment on how our respective cities treat these matters, nothing is). Besides, Sun Ra never won a Grammy. So FEH on that little statue. OTOH, Dave Alvin did, so I can't claim it's ALL bullshit. sh http://www.skipheller.com (the new and improved website) np: pete seeger, a link in the chain (really great and I wish we had songs like this now, as we need them worse than ever). on 2/23/03 11:28 PM, Steve Smith at ssmith36@sprynet.com wrote:

Directions in Music. It was a crowd pleaser tribute to Miles and Coltrane. I saw them live when they came around, but I didn't bother buying the album. I enjoyed the group much more when Brecker and Hargrove shut up. Herbie played very well with drummer Brain Blade bassist and John Patitucci--he played a show stealing solo, which was far better than Brecker's solo attempt at Naima. An enjoyable evening? Yes. Grammy worthy? Probably not. Zach
