BERIGAN Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 (edited) Yep, well known Artie Shaw aficionados Sean Astin and Norah Jones came out to show a b&w photo of him, and to say he had gotten the lifetime achievement award! No music was played. Then they quickly dispensed with some award to Mary McPartland(Not the lifetime achievement award, and she wasn't there either) so they could give out the best new artist Grammy. Fountains of Wayne was up for this, they have only been around since the mid 90's! Gosh, I wish I could have watched the rest of the show....but the weather channel was on at the same time....

Big Wheel Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 No, but the Robert Randolph/Earth, Wind and Fire/OutKast/George Clinton segment ROCKED. Too bad the Chick Corea/Foo Fighters "collaboration" turned out to be nothing more than a shitty gimmick. Quote
Guest ariceffron Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 what do you mean gimmick? what did they do together? Quote
John B Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 what do you mean gimmick? what did they do together? Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters tore off part of Chick's shirt, exposing his nipple. Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 what do you mean gimmick? what did they do together? Chick played absolutely beautiful notes like he probably does now in his sleep, when all the while the Foo Fighters guy was trying his best to shake the Tenex out of his hair and onto the ivories (like one of those cool buddy duets between nearly aging rocker and rhythm section minion) but since Chick was asleep he didn't mind. I think maybe they were conjuring some sort of David Sancious / Springsteen thing but then again one can't conjure up talent. Quote

RDK Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 Really wished I had seen the Corea-Foo Fighters thing. I'm betting that the musicians involved dig each other and had a blast doing it - I often find that musicians are more open-minded to different types/styles of Music (with a capital M) that their fans.
