ECM USA is delighted to announce that the nominations for the 51st Annual Grammy Awards include:
Norma Winstone with Glauco Venier and Klaus Gesing: Distances
Best Jazz Vocal Album
Vocalist Winstone’s new ECM release is a lean and beautiful album - her effortless and reedy delivery, utterly without vibrato, is marvelously subtle and transparent. There’s much to treasure on this album by one of the British Jazz scenes most affecting and original vocalists.
Ed Hazell, Jazziz
Trio Mediaeval: Folk Songs
Best Chamber Music Performance
Few vocal ensembles produce quite as beautiful and finely blended a sound as this Norwegian trio...
Allan Kozinn, The New York Times
Meredith Monk & Vocal Ensemble: Meredith Monk’s Impermanence
Best Small Ensemble Performance
The music conveyed a dramatic arc that encompassed grief and confusion, joy conveyed through rollicking pratfalls and giddy dances, and a quiet ending of stark, powerful eloquence.
Steve Smith, New York Times
Carla Bley And Her Remarkable Big Band: Appearing Nightly
Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album
She works in many forms, and her scores for big jazz bands are matched only by those of Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus for yearning lyricism, explosive exultation and other expressions of the human condition.
Nat Hentoff, Wall Street Journal
