Grammys 2008: Herbie Hancock stunned by album of the year nomination

Herbie's got his shades on. (Kwaku Alston)

Jazzman Herbie Hancock's surprise nomination in the album of the year category for his River: The Joni Letters CD puts him in elite but sparse company. He's only the second jazz instrumentalist in the 50 year history of the Grammy Awards to get the highest nod. The other was the late tenor saxophonist Stan Getz, who won the top prize in 1964 for Getz/Gilberto, his collaboration with Brazilian João Gilberto. Whether Hancock wins during the Feb. 10th telecast is almost beside the point. He's already the news of this year's awards. He was also shocked to get that nomination: "I was blown away," he recently told The Dallas Morning News. "How could I have ever expected that?'

Check out my story on Herbie Hancock, which should run Feb. 6 on the GuideLive cover.
