Hi,

Best Grammy show I have seen in years. I thought Jlo doing the Motown segment was great. Alicia Keys playing the piano and singing was just fantastic.

What did you think?

Cheers,

Billy

We didn’t watch it but upon reading the results it appeared to be a good night for the ladies and for Americana music. Yea!

I watched a bit of it while I was visiting my mom's last night. Honestly, I'm a young guy (born in early 90's) and I think I only knew one or two of the nominees. I'm not a huge Grammy follower, or a follower of any award show though. There was some good performances though!

Haven't watched in 20 years. It's not about music anymore. Racist, sexist, angry poetry spoken over loops is NOT music. No matter how many copies it sells. And that's all the Grammys are now is money.

What I wish is that they would take away all the chrome and neon and just give the awards. The show would last an hour and that would be too much. I have no need to see rappers perform.

I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

When they dropped anything resembling jazz and Latin jazz from the broadcasts, I dropped them. They still give awards, like the excellent Dafnis Prieto Big Band 'Back to the Sunset' but is this part of the show?

I agree there Dan. I guess the pre-warmup commercials weren't interesting enough to get me to watch the show but when I saw the "Best Song" winner this morning, I just had to have a listen. That's the best song of the year!!?? Your're kidding!!! Of all the musicians, of all the songs...that's the best??!!! Come on....tell me it ain't so...please!

Amen to that!

Add what Matt commented on, with respect to jazz, and that's not even half of the reasons I don't watch, or care about the Grammies or most (actually all) awards shows.

I was a bit surprised by what looks like a general dislike by so many people for the Grammy awards.I don't follow it but I have a personal friend who gets nominated from time to time. So I have that connection.

For sure I find Kacey Musgraves Golden Hour does not fit into my concept of country. I don't personally care much for the Rap and Hip Hop genre, but it is a sizable part of the music business. Those folks deserve recognition as much as anyone else. As far as it being about money, it has always been about money one way or another.

I also wish there was more jazz and a greater variety of styles in general.

After I read the post here, I did a bit of looking around on the music news feeds to see what others had to say. I discovered the complaints that Jennifer Lopez, and not an African-American artist did the Motown tribute. That is beyond belief. So now non African-Americans can not sing Motown!!

We have truly become a polarized angry disconnected group of people in this country.

Cheers,

Billy

I haven't had a chance to watch them or read anything about them. I'll have to catch some highlights later.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
