Herbie Hancock on the Grammys

What are you talking about?

>re-arrangements of old music
That's pretty much what most jazz recordings are.

Drubin - apparently I don't know what I'm talking about. It was 'album of the year' and not 'record of the year'. Mr. Hancock's recording of re-arranged material beat out ALL artists across ALL genres of music, regardless of innovation and originality. But hey, 43 years is a long run without a jazz winner - so that means there must have been too many mediocre jazz albums that have been released since 1965...ahhh the Grammy's! The same awards organization that gave Christopher Cross album of the year over Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' back in '81.

Slothman, you probably won't beleive this but many people consider Pink Floyd to be commercial hacks not innovative artists.

Slothman, my "what are you talking about" was in response to tomryan's post.
