Is Metheny nominated for a Grammy every year?

[Matthew]

Is Metheny nominated for a Grammy every year?

It's the eleventh commandment: Thou shall nominate Pat Metheny and Wynton Marsalis whenever the word jazz appears.

[md655321]

I bought it. Never finished it. It belongs in the New Age dept. Very bland.

i am so happy that Mingus's "I Am Three" was nominated. fabulous album!

[GA Russell]

My copies of the Dianne Reeves and Nnenna Freelon CDs are on their way. I'm going to treat them as Christmas presents to myself. I've read good things about both of them.
