Грэмми – 2025

В Лос-Анджелесе 2 февраля в 67-й раз прошла церемония вручения премий Грэмми. На этот раз, как и в прошлом году, категорий было 94 и, опять-таки как в прошлом году, награды в самых престижных из них получили представители не близких нам направлений. В «наших» категориях приятно отметить успех посмертного альбома Чика Кориа с Белой Флеком – мне довелось писать об этой работе на наших страницах, продолжение грэмми-триумфов Самары Джой, а среди приводимых ниже списков победителей и номинантов в «наших» категориях, попалась и совсем «не наша» категория «традиционный поп-вокал альбом» - уж больно знакомы тут имена: победитель Нора Джонс и номинант Грегори Поттер…
