Trend of Diversity Continues as Both New and Established Artists –

from Wide Array of Musical Genres – Compete

 

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (Jan. 4, 2002) — Reflecting a year where established "legends" shared the musical spotlight with bright newcomers, a diverse array of performers, producers and other creative professionals garnered multiple nominations on Jan. 4 when nominees for the 44th Annual GRAMMY® Awards were announced by the Recording Academy at a press conference held at the Beverly Hilton hotel. The 44th Annual GRAMMY Awards will be held on Feb. 27, 2002 at Staples Center in Los Angeles and be broadcast on the CBS Television Network at 8 p.m (EST/PST).

 

"Once again, this year's nominations reflect many different musical points of view — from those established artists whose influence has shaped the evolution of our musical language, to newcomers who speak with a unique resonance," said Michael Greene, President/CEO of the Recording Academy®. "We also are gratified to see so many truly talented singer/songwriters; they remain a vital part of music’s foundation."

 

U2 garnered an impressive eight nominations, including in the coveted Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year and Song Of The Year categories, as well as nods in the Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal, Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal, and Best Rock Album categories. The group also will be competing against themselves in the Best Rock Song category as they earned two nominations, for "Elevation" and "Walk On," both tracks from their critically acclaimed album All That You Can't Leave Behind.

 

With her debut album Acoustic Soul, India.Arie earned seven GRAMMY nominations, including one in all four of the top categories: Album Of The Year and Best New Artist, as well as Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year for the track "Video." In addition, she earned a nod for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song and Best R&B Album. Additionally, new soul phenomenon Alicia Keys scored six nominations, including Best New Artist and Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year for "Fallin'."

 

This year many artists received four or more nominations each, including six for conductor Pierre Boulez (including two separate nominations in the Best Classical Album category); five each for Alison Krauss (including one as an artist on the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, nominated in the Album Of The Year category), Brian McKnight (including Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song), and Outkast (including Record Of The Year and Album Of The Year); and four each for T Bone Burnett, Nelly Furtado, Train, Steven Tyler (three nominations with Aerosmith and an additional individual nomination for songwriting) and Lucinda Williams.

 

The diversity was perhaps best exemplified in the Album Of The Year category, where nominations ranged from the R&B sounds of India.Arie's debut Acoustic Soul and the challenging rap of Outkast's Stankonia, to Bob Dylan's earthy Love and Theft; from the contemplative rock of U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind to the bluegrass compilation soundtrack album from the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou?.

 

The Record Of The Year category includes some of the more pervasive and powerful singles of the year from a broad range of artists, including India.Arie's "Video," Alicia Keys' "Fallin'," U2's "Walk On," Outkast's "Ms. Jackson" and Train's "Drops of Jupiter."

 

The Best New Artist category represents a cross-section of key genres with pop artists Nelly Furtado and David Gray being recognized by the Academy along with rockers Linkin Park and the soulful R&B offered by newcomers India.Arie and Alicia Keys.

 

In addition to Janet Jackson, the list of artists earning three nominations includes Ryan Adams, Aerosmith, Coldplay, Bob Dylan, Missy Elliott, Ja Rule, Jay-Z, Linkin Park, Tim McGraw, Jamie O'Neal, 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake, and Trisha Yearwood, among others. Also landing three nominations were Carlos "Six July" Broady, one of the producers of India.Arie's Acoustic Soul album, and James Mallinson, who is nominated for Producer Of The Year, Classical, and for his work on Best Opera Recording and Best Classical Album nominees.

 

This year the Academy announced first-time nominees in the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration category, a new category that will be introduced at the 44th GRAMMY Awards as part of the Academy's ongoing effort to broaden its reach and fully reflect the dynamic diversity of the always evolving music world. This new category will honor a Rap/Sung vocal collaborative performance by artists who do not normally perform together. Nominees include: Eve Featuring Gwen Stefani for "Let Me Blow Ya Mind"; Ja Rule Featuring Case for "Livin' It Up"; Jagged Edge Featuring Nelly for "Where The Party At"; Ludacris Featuring Nate Dogg for "Area Codes"; and Mystic & Planet Asia for "W."

 

The nominations for the 44th Annual GRAMMY Awards were announced during a press conference at the Beverly Hilton hotel and attended by the world’s media, top recording artists and many key music industry executives. Chapter cities also holding press conferences were Nashville and New York. 

 

GRAMMY Nominations ballots for the next round of voting will be mailed Jan. 11 to the 12,000 voting members of the Recording Academy. They are due back to the accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP by Feb. 1, 2002, when they will be tabulated and the results kept secret until the telecast.

ROBERT MOOG (MOOG SYNTHESIZERS) AND APPLE COMPUTER TO RECEIVE TECHNICAL
GRAMMY® AWARDS


SANTA MONICA, Calif. (January 31, 2002) -- Robert Moog (Moog Synthesizers) and Apple Computer, Inc. have been named as recipients of the 2002 Technical GRAMMY® Award, it was announced today by Recording Academy President/CEO Michael Greene. Technical GRAMMY Award recipients are determined by the vote of the members of the Recording Academy's Producers & Engineers Wing and presented to individuals and/or companies who have made contributions of outstanding technical significance to the recording field. Formal acknowledgment of the awards will be made on February 26 surrounding the 44th Annual GRAMMY® Awards ceremony, held at Los Angeles' Staples Center on Wednesday, February 27, and broadcast on the CBS Television Network from 8 - 11 p.m. (PST/EST). 

"The technical and creative innovations of Robert Moog, and the inventiveness and versatility of the Apple Computer are the towering achievements of true visionaries," said Greene. "The products of their inspiration introduced electronic technology into the public consciousness, put the power of creation in the hands of the individual, and revolutionized the recording industry."

Honorees

Robert Moog's early development of analog electronic instruments made his name synonymous with the synthesizer and ultimately helped spawn the electronic music revolution of the '80s and '90s. His creation -- the Moog synthesizer, which was unveiled in 1965 -- introduced a vast array of new sounds and fostered an entirely new creative process of sound design.  

In 1968, composer Walter (now Wendy) Carlos released the landmark album Switched-On Bach -- played on the Moog Synthesizer -- to enormous popular and critical acclaim. The album garnered three GRAMMY Awards and remained on Billboard's classical charts for nearly five years. From that point, Moog's instruments made the leap from the electronic avant garde into jazz and commercial popular music. The term "Moog Synthesizer" became a household word. Even today, some 30 years later, Moog's creation (a smaller version of the original synthesizer called the "Minimoog") is still considered by many to be of the holy grail of synthesizers.

Apple Computer is considered the leading architect in bringing computer technology into the studio and revolutionizing the way music is written, produced, mixed, recorded and creatively imagined.  The introduction of the Macintosh in the mid 1980s helped launch a number of important software breakthroughs, linking technology to the creative process, literally changing the face of the recording studio. 

Almost immediately, developers began creating revolutionary tools for playing, recording and editing music, all solidly grounded in the Mac's user-friendly interface. This made the Macintosh virtually synonymous with the computer-driven production techniques of the last decade. Over time, with a Mac and the right tools, a single person could compose, perform, record, edit and mix the instrumental portion of a song or entire album. Thus, the Macintosh became the touchstone of a new model for producing recorded music.

The creation of the Macintosh sparked a flurry of creativity that continues today. With the Mac's powerful new processors and new, Apple-driven applications -- such as DVD Studio Pro -- Apple continues to build on its historic role in moving studio technology forward.

The first Technical GRAMMY was awarded in 1994. Past winners include Les Paul, Digidesign's Pro Tools, Dr. Thomas Stockham Jr., Ray Dolby, Rupert Neve, George Massenburg, Sony/Philips, Georg Neumann GmbH, Bill Putnam, and AMS Neve, plc.

In 2000, the Recording Academy established the Producers & Engineers Wing, a collection of more than 5,000 professional producers, engineers and technologists. The P&E Wing's mission is to provide an organized voice for the pro sound community, while ensuring its role in the development of new technologies, recording and mastering standards, as well as other critical issues affecting their craft, such as archiving and preservation. The P&E Wing also builds on the existing professional development activities of the Academy which include workshops, forums, publications and advocacy. 

Established in 1957, the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, Inc., also known as the Recording Academy, is dedicated to improving the quality of life and cultural conditions for music and its makers. An organization of 20,000 musicians, producers and other recording professionals, the Recording Academy is internationally known for the GRAMMY Awards, and is responsible for numerous groundbreaking outreach, professional development, cultural enrichment, education and human services programs.
