Music News - Kiwis Up For Grammy Awards
Steriogram
09 December 2004 - 0 Comments
New Zealand-born jazz pianist Alan Broadbent and Auckland wunderkinds Steriogram are each up for Grammy Awards.
In the list announced this morning (NZ time), Broadbent is up for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo for his track What's New (from the album You And The Night And The Music).
Meanwhile, the innovative knitting video for Steriogram's Walkie Talkie Man, directed by American Michel Gondry, is up for Best Short Form Music Video. The award is jointly presented to the artist and the director. The same clip was nominated earlier this year for an MTV Award.
While it will be Steriogram's first taste of The Grammys, it certainly isn't for the 57-year-old jazz man. He has been a finalist five times before, including wins in 1997 for his arrangement of When I Fall In Love for Natalie Cole and again in 2000 for best arrangement accompanying a vocal for Lonely Town by Charlie Haden’s Quartet West.
He emigrated to the US in 1966 to take up a scholarship at Boston’s Berklee College of Music. Settling in Los Angeles, he has since worked with such notable music legends as Henry Mancini and Mel Torme, and is currently music director for Diana Krall.
