A Grammy-díjátadóra február 1-jén, vasárnap kerül majd sor (ami a mi időzónánkban február 2-án lesz hajnalban), de lássuk, kik közül fognak választani a bizottsági tagok. A díjátadóra a Los Angeles-i Crypto.com Arénában kerül majd sor. A 95 kategória közül mi csak azokat listázzuk, amelyekben jazz-zene is szerepel.

Igaz, Chick Corea 2021-ben elhunyt, ám lemezei tovább éltetik. A Brian Bladdel és Christian McBride-dal felvett Trilogy című albumuk első két része már Grammy-díjat kapott. Vajon a harmadik Trilógia is csatlakozik hozzájuk? Több kategóriában is a jelöltek között van.
Vajon Christian McBride a kilenc Grammy-díjához szerez még párat a három jelölés közül.

Idén hétszer jelöltek big band zenekart különböző kategóriában, nem csak a Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album-ban. Köztük idén is szerepel európai, a dán Nordkraft Big Band, valamint a dán rádió big bandje.
