]]> Arturo Sandoval and Justin TimberlakeOK, I watched the Grammys and wasn’t as bad as I’d feared. The Foo Fighters and Chick Corea collaboration was great. I’m thinking Chick was ready for a smoke and a lay after rocking with those guys. I was surprised to see Arturo Sandoval perform with Justin Timberlake. I love the jazz and pop/rock combos, but I would like to see the pop/rock guys tackling a jazz song instead of the other way around. Even better, I’d like to see the return of jazz artists performing their own music on the broadcast.

So who won? You have to go to the Grammy site to find out. In the last few years, the broadcast quickly showed them on the side when getting ready to go to break. This year, they gave up and said go to the website. The “Metheny Always Wins” mandate holds true – he’s the winner of Best New Age Album. No surprise to see Wayne Shorter pick up Best Jazz Instrumental Album for Alegria. Randy Brecker, Michel Camilo, Dianne Reeves, Michael Brecker, and Chick Corea were other jazz Grammy winners.

Thanks to OutKast closing the show, I’m going to have “Hey Ya!” in my head all night.

]]> Chick Corea and Foo FightersDrunken and/or inspired Grammy telecast organizers have teamed Chick Corea and the Foo Fighters to perform on the show, to be televised on February 8. I had not planned to watch it, which would be the first time I’ve skipped it. It’s the worst set of nominations that I’ve seen and the other performers aren’t interesting. However, with Chick and the Foos as well as a funk tribute with Robert Randolph & the Family Band, Earth, Wind & Fire, OutKast and Parliament Funkadelic, I’ll now tape it and skip to the good stuff.
