I didn’t watch much of the Grammys– missed The Police and got bored quickly.

Along the way, they touched off the year’s most animated public discourse on jazz, a democratic exchange that culminated last weekend in the debut of behearer.com, an interactive database devoted to the music’s most conflicted period.”
