Music for the week

So last night I attended the Chicago Chapter of the Grammy Association's Mpls mixer and realized I know a lot of people who are eligible to vote for the Grammys.

Next, we headed to the Varsity to catch Tokyo Police Club, who I loved when I saw them play acoustically at The Current Stage at SXSW. But not so much as a full band...

So we left and went to Turf Club in St Paul to see South. They are so friggin good! Too bad more people weren't there to see them... bought their new CD.

Music for the week

And the Album of the Year Goes to Herbie Hancock!

Herbie Hancock shakes things up at the Grammy's this year as he takes home the Grammy for Album of the Year. It has been over 40 years since a jazz artist has won best album! Shake, shake, shake...shake, shake, shake...shake it Herbie...shake it Herbie.

I admit that I have not listened to much of Herbie Hancock's music but I immediately jumped on itunes to listen to his award winning album, River: The Joni Letters. I quickly was drawn into these tracks that feature recognizable artists including, Joni Mitchell, Corinne Bailey Ray, Norah Jones and Tina Turner. I would definitely say that I am hooked on Hancock's genre-stretching music.

The 50th Grammy Awards: A victory for Herbie Hancock and a victory for jazz.
