GRAMMY: JAZZ NOMINATIONS


MI ripeto ma è meglio essere preciso: i Grammy sostanzialmente sono premi che l'industria americana  attribuisce a se stessa, vanno quindi presi con le molle.Non a caso moltissima grande musica non è passata e non passerà mai da qui. Le nominations costituiscono comunque una cartina di tornasole della produzione discografica statunitense e dei gusti imperanti oltre oceano.
