I think it's pretty awesome that Herbie Hancock got Album of the Year!

I think that's cool too. Have you heard Herbie's album? What does it sound like?

Cool side note: My theory professor from university won a Grammy on an album for, "Best Chamber Performance". It was on a record called, "The Eighth Veil."

i have heard mixed reviews about herbie's album... a lot of people dont like it at all. probably because they arent used to hearing vocals in jazz or something.

paquito d'rivera is sweet, i'll get that album for sure.
