GA Russell Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 Here's the list: http://content.grammy.com/grammy_awards/51st_show/list.aspx Quote
Dan Gould Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 Field 13 — Blues Category 66 Best Traditional Blues Album (Vocal or Instrumental.) * The Blues Rolls On Elvin Bishop [Delta Groove Music, Inc.] * Skin Deep Buddy Guy [silvertone Records] * All Odds Against Me John Lee Hooker Jr. [steppin' Stone Records/CC Entertainment] * One Kind Favor B.B. King [Geffen Records] * Pinetop Perkins & Friends Pinetop Perkins & Friends [stoneagle Music/Telarc] I don't think anyone has talked about it, but when B.B. wins Grammy number whatever, it will be very well deserved. One Kind Favor is a great recording. Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 It is indeed v. nice, but it's not the return to the old days that producer T-bone Burnett has claimed... Quote
Dan Gould Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 It is indeed v. nice, but it's not the return to the old days that producer T-bone Burnett has claimed... Well, I think most would agree its his best studio recording since Blues on the Bayou, before that was the first duets disc with other blues legends, and then about two decades of mediocre to OK LPs. Does it stand up to his best work? Factoring in that he was 82 when it was recorded, I'd say it does. Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 i really like the Louie Jordan trib he did about 10 years (?) ago, but no one else seems to have noticed... Quote
Dan Gould Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 i really like the Louie Jordan trib he did about 10 years (?) ago, but no one else seems to have noticed... Actually I forgot about that one, and I definitely enjoyed it. Really his worst recordings are the duets with unworthy pop/pseudo blues singers. Quote
papsrus Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Category 49 Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album (For large jazz ensembles, including big band sounds. Albums must contain 51% or more INSTRUMENTAL tracks.) * Appearing Nightly Carla Bley And Her Remarkable Big Band [WATT] Gets my vote. Course, I haven't heard the others in the category, but the Bley's a fine set of music. Quote

Michael Weiss Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Yes, good luck Michael. MG Thanks for the luck. We won! - Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album Quote
Free For All Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Congrats, Michael! Does everyone get a statue? Nice to see the Vanguard band getting some well-deserved recognition. I have that recording and have enjoyed it a lot. Quote
Christiern Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Congratulations, Michael. I hope Pinetop Perkin s wins in the blues category. He is 95 and still working, sounding good. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Congrats, Michael! Post a pic with the statue if you will! Quote
GA Russell Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Posted February 9, 2009 Great news! Congratulations, Michael! Quote
HolyStitt Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Wonderfull! Monday Night Live At The Village Vanguard is one of my favorite releases this year. It's too band James Moody didn't win a grammy in the Best Jazz Instrumental Solo category. Quote
Christiern Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 There have been some pretty bad Grammy shows in recent years, but I thought this one hit a new low as far as music and production valu is concerned. Truly pathetic. The Grammy people have a knack for pulling artists from the shadows of obscurity and turning them into pitiful props for current non-talent. I felt sorry for Stevie Wonder. I like a modicum of rap, but what they had on this evening was terrible. At one point it looked like they had emptied the trailer park, turned to Goodwill for costumes, and let the lot of them loose on stage without rehearsals. I thought the recurrent teaming up "for the first time" never really worked, but Robert Plant and Alison Krauss (who ere not teamed up by NARAS) were a winning combination, in more ways than one.
