I’m totaly agree with you, Montain.
And It’s just Pop, R&B, Rap and Rock.
It is unusual that jazz were represented. (I’m sure this sentence is not correct...)

The Grammies are about the business of selling music. The prime time show represents the acts companies are dumping money into and marketing to sell.
There is certainly a direct correlation between an artist receiving a Grammy and the number of records (downloads, CDs, whatever) before and after. The number of units Adele sold after the Grammies exploded to something like 750,000. Although WIAA is not in my regular rotation, I do hope it helps boost sales and funds Pat to do more adventurous and experimental projects.
I dislike the Grammies because instead of exposing all the wonderful types of music and artists during the show, they bury the less commercial stuff in a pre-show. Funny how the president will do a 30 second bit a music education and show clips of young people playing cellos, timpani and trombones performing classical and jazz, but they certainly do not feature the pros playing similar instruments and music.
Blah, blah... Preaching to the choir...

Thank you Tom...I was wondering about those exact statistics.

I continue to not care, I suppose getting some kind of recognition by the industry you’re in means something and I’m happy for Metheny. Still, I just can’t......

If Pat’s going to keep winning the New Age category, poor John Tesh will NEVER have a chance!

And to Tom and mugsy’s point, I think Pat has the won the most as a guitarist, in any category. And that’s the record that stands out the most.

Most Grammy’s ever won Georg Stolti
Conductor of the Chicago Symphony 31,
Allison Krauss has Quincy Jones are both
next with 27, Pat has achieved most ever
consecutive wins with 10 and has won in the most different categories with 12.

To hman01,
Pat doesn’t hold the record for most grammies, but I do think he has the record for the most categories won. Stevie Wonder has 22 and I believe there are others who have even more than Stevie. As long as he doesn’t win in the RAP or Country category, I’m good with it.(LoL)

I don’t understand why Pat accepts a grammy in whatever category. I mean, who - as a serious jazz musician - would want to be ranked among non musicians with names like Rihanna, LL Cool J and other inmate-like nicknames? They’re a bunch of non valeurs, would be artists and money grabbers. I rank Pat far far above them.

Pat, as New Age!? That’s a joke!Congrats anyway Pat!Maybe next year you’ll win for R&B!

Come on y’all.You mean listening to WIAA doesn’t make you wanna stare at crystals and stuff? Frankly,dispite the "New Age" label,it’s more recognition for a great artist.And at 19 grammys,does that make Pat the artist who’s won the most?

A great achievement...the academy has been categorically clueless for years,but I appreciate when truly masterful musicians are recognized.

On http://www.grammy.com/nominees
it says that he won a Grammy for "best new age album". That’s not an award - that’s an insult ;-)
Especially for an album as brilliant as WIAA.

Didn’t watch, since they don’t acknowledge jazz on the show. What category was the award for? (I thought it was funny that One Quiet Night got classified as "New Age")

Congratulations Pat! This album just keeps growing on you, some serious playing here.

Well congrats Pat, but what’s with the win in the "New Age" category?? How did he get nominated in there? Isn’t that supposed to be reserved for the likes of Yanni?

grammy awards are like golden glove awards in baseball where the award is is as much or more for past achievments then for merit.

I have mixed feelings. I think mostly that the Grammys are hyped, AND it is really nice to see Mr. Metheny honored once again. What I really hate is that there is very seldom any public acknowledgement of jazz at the Grammy awards, except for certain awards (lifetime achievement,etc.) I wish they would cut some of the fluff and at least have five minutes devoted to jazz. Congratulations to Chick for "Forever" - a really great CD.

I personally don’t watch the Grammy awards and I honestly don’t care one way or the other.
