Glad to see Ornette Coleman finally get the lifetime achievement award though. Anybody else wonder how many of the "artists" in the audience had any clue as to who he was?

the Grammys sucked...
Yeah I will say the grammys were rather boring to me. What i was MOST disappointed in was they sent little time talking about ornette coleman and what he did. It was very vague to people who didn't know who he was. Usually when you watch the Grammys and they talk about life time achievement. It's a HUGE deal. They usually have a big ol documentary. I felt like they really didn't care.
how man people here who don't know Ornette Coleman is, can truthly tell me they learn something from the Grammy's about himm.... Nobody..
The other thing I had a problem with was the lack of recongnition of Michael Brecker. They quickly showed 4 or 5 slides of jazz musicians who died this year. They included a picture that lasted 5 seconds.. Michael Brecker to the jazz and saxophone world was like Eddie Van Halen was to rock guitar (might be a bad example but you knwo what i mean)Without Michael Brecker alot of saxophonist wouldn't be as inspired. This man devoted his life not to jazz, but music. He toured with Chakakan, played with Marcus Miller, Paul Simon, just to name a few. And probably was one of the most influencial saxophonist of our time. But what do they give him? a 5 second photo blurb.
I think the Grammy's this year were a JOKE. Especially that text your favorite singer thing. I'm pretty sure people across america text the "prettiest girl to sing", not the most talented. Plus I don't see how 10 seconds of singing you'll beable to tell who is great or not.
Anyways.. i was disappointed. The Grammy's seem so much better in the past.
