jlhoots Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 The Maria Schneider is great. Wish Jimmy Greene could have won something just for emotional reasons if nothing else. Quote
paul secor Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 I'll pass on all of it. My time is too valuable to waste on that music. Quote
jlhoots Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 I agree about the rest of it, but Thompson Fields is really good. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 This would be for her collaboration with David Bowie, released in the late fall of 2014: According to Tony Visconti's facebook Maria Schneider has won a Grammy for Sue. This just in from pre-broadcast Grammys: Maria Schneider just won the Grammy for best arrangement in the Jazz categories, her arrangement for SUE (or in a season of crime)! She was in tears when she thanked David [Bowie] and me from the stage. Hooray for Maria! She's a real talent, been working all her life, a student of Gil Evans. David would've been over the moon to hear this. I am so happy. This was reported by my handsome manager, Joe D'Ambrosio. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted February 18, 2016 Report Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Here's the 2014 Maria-Schneider/David-Bowie track she/they won for. It was a one-off, and (unfortunately) not part of a larger/longer project. But one hell of a great tune, at 8-minutes in length. Oh if they'd only been able to record a whole album together! https://youtu.be/SaygoLgAe4Y Edited February 18, 2016 by Rooster_Ties Quote
page Posted February 18, 2016 Report Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) In the windmill area we are mighty proud of the Metropool Orkest winning with their album "Sylva" they've made with Snarky Puppy! Jippie! Edited February 18, 2016 by page Quote
