Program awards $250,000 to archive and preserve Gulf Coast recorded sound collections

 

GRAMMY.com

 

The GRAMMY Foundation today announced the recipients of its grant program, which awarded $250,000 in grants to 10 recipients to archive and preserve recorded sound collections of the Gulf Coast. The recipients are Abita Music Company; All For One Foundation; Backstreet Cultural Museum; Friends of WWOZ; David Kunian; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; Ben Sandmel; Tulane University, Hogan Jazz Archive; University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Edith Garland Dupre Library; and the University of New Orleans/American Routes.

 

Funds will help facilitate an extraordinary range of ventures, including: the rescue of an at-risk collection of culturally significant radio transcriptions and their source production recordings by such artists as Fats Domino, Al Hirt, and the Nevilles; the cataloging and digital transfer of a collection of southern Louisiana roots music to make it more publicly accessible; and the enactment of preservation measures developed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to protect collections at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation.

 

In addition to this year's special round of Gulf Coast grants, the GRAMMY Foundation's ongoing annual grant program will dedicate $650,000 in grant funds for its 2007 awards cycle. The program supports archiving and preservation projects that safeguard the history of recorded sound, as well as scientific research projects related to music of the Americas. The application is currently available online at www.grammyfoundation.com, and the deadline to submit applications is Oct. 2.

 

"The Grants Program is central to the GRAMMY Foundation's mission," said Recording Academy, GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares President Neil Portnow. "This year, it was important and fitting for us to dedicate a portion of our grants budget to support efforts that advance the archiving and preservation of the music and recorded sound heritage of the Gulf Coast area. It's an appropriate complement to the hurricane relief work that our sister foundation, MusiCares, has accomplished over the past 11 months."

 

The GRAMMY Foundation's grant program is generously funded by The Recording Academy. Now in its 18th year, the GRAMMY Foundation Grant Program has awarded more than $2 million to approximately 200 noteworthy projects. The grant program administers grants annually to organizations and individuals to support efforts that advance the archiving and preservation of the music and recorded sound heritage of the Americas for future generations, as well as research projects related to the impact of music on the human condition. Recipients are determined based on criteria such as merit, uniqueness of project and the ability to accomplish intended goals.

In announcing the tour today (Dec. 6), Aerosmith may have also inadvertently revealed that the band will be playing at Glastonbury Festival next year. In an email sent to fans via their official mailing list, the group listed their forthcoming European tour dates, which include a stop at the U.K. festival next June. While the tour dates posted on the band's official social media channels and website do not list Glastonbury, the routing coincides with the festival's confirmed 2020 dates.

The forthcoming European tour marks the 50-year anniversary of Aerosmith's formation, which dates back to 1970 in Boston. The trek follows the launch of the group's Las Vegas residency this past April.

Aerosmith Win Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal

Counting millions of albums sold worldwide, Aerosmith were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2001. The band has won four GRAMMYs in the Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal category between 1990 and 1998. They made their debut on the GRAMMY stage in 1991, performing The Beatles' "Come Together."

The general on-sale for Aerosmith's 2020 European summer tour begins Friday, Dec. 13, at 9 a.m. via the band's official website.

GRAMMY-nominated jazz piano and composer Dave Brubeck, who passed away at 91 in 2014, was largely considered one of the most significant acts of the West Coast jazz movement. In 1996, actor Timothy Hutton presented Brubeck with the Lifetime Achievement Award, saying: "For your pioneering work creating the West Coast jazz movement and for your consistently high caliber of artistic achievement, the Academy of Recording Arts and Science presents Dave Brubeck with its Lifetime Achievement Award. Congratulations."

Watch the GRAMMY Rewind moment below:

Dave Brubeck Receives Lifetime Achievement Award

The Dave Brubeck Quartet, which originally came together in the early '50s, recorded five Top 10 albums, including 1959's Time Out, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200.

Brubeck received his first career GRAMMY nomination in 1960 for Best Jazz Composition Of More Than Five Minutes Duration for "Blue Rondo A La Turk." The quartet's highest-charting single was "Take Five," which reached No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961 and received a GRAMMY nomination for Record Of The Year.

With a recording career spanning more than 60 years, Brubeck was also known for jazz standards such as "The Duke" and "In Your Own Sweet Way." In addition to his Lifetime Achievement win, two of Brubeck's recordings have been inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame: "Take Five" (inducted in 1996) and Time Out (2009). His most recent GRAMMY nomination came in 2009 for Best Classical Crossover Album for his participation on Yo-Yo Ma & Friends: Songs Of Joy And Peace.
