O listinha: 51st Grammy Award Nominations

Eu não gostar muito de listinhas mas não resiste quando aparece um. Para os amigas segue o relação das indicados ao última Grammy Award, resultado dos avaliações realizados entre outubro de 2007 e setembro de 2008. A grande destaque, o meu ver, ficar para o álbum Live At The 2007 Monterey Jazz Festival (Monterey Jazz Festival 50th Anniversary All-Stars), lançado pelo selo Monterey Jazz Festival Records. O faixa Be-Bop realmente merece todo nosso atenção, com excelentes solos da jovem Terence Blanchard (t) e da veterano James Moody (ts). Como disse Kate McGarry, se menos é mais, nada é tudo.
