Greetings jazz enthusiasts, listed below are artists Nominated for a Grammy Award per-category for 2011. After shimming through the artists names I’m pleasantly surprised at some of the names that appear and disappointed at some hopefuls that didn’t make the cut. All the best to the artists listed!
The 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards will take place in Los Angeles at Staples Center on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2011, and will air live on the CBS Television Network from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT). As a result of last year’s earlier show and Awards process dates, this year the eligibility dates for the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards are Sept. 1, 2009, through Sept. 30, 2010.–Grammy.com
