„Birdland“ inducted into 2010 Grammy Hall Of Fame
The Recording Academy announced the newest additions to its Grammy Hall Of Fame. "This year's Grammy Hall Of Fame inductees highlight a diverse array of masterpiece recordings that have had a profound impact on our musical history," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy. "(...) They all greatly deserve to be memorialized."
The Hall Of Fame serves as a celebration and reminder of the triumphs and achievements of the recording arts.
1977's "Birdland" by Weather Report was one of 25 recordings being added to a timeless list that now includes 851 titles.
The Recording Academy's National Trustees established the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 1973 to honor recordings of lasting qualitative or historical significance that are at least 25 years old. Hall Of Fame recordings are reviewed annually by a special member committee of eminent and knowledgeable professionals from all branches of the recording arts, and final approval is made by The Recording Academy Trustees.
