Jazz and Blues Winners at the 2024 GRAMMY’s: Video, Photos

Sebastian writes: Last night. 4 February 2024 at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles, the 2024/ 66th GRAMMY Awards took place. We first list the winners in the jazz categories (A) , and then the jazz winners in other categories (B), and have embedded Joni Mitchell’s performance of “Both Sides Now”.

There is…understandably… no “Mondays with Morgan” column today, and that gives me the opportunity to thank our good friend, Grammy staff writer Morgan Enos, who was working at the ceremony last night, for his diligent writing of the Monday column and for his flawless copy!
