Németh Ferenc az ADDA Simfònica, Josep Vicent, Emilio Solla – The Chick Corea Symphony Tribute lemezen való közreműködésével került be a Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album kategóriába! A jazzdobost legközelebb itthon az Opus Jazz Clubban lehet meghallgatni november 27-én egy supergrouppal.

A 2024-es Grammy-díj átadón már három új kategóriában fognak nyertest hirdetni, amik közül az egyik a Best Alternative Jazz Album. Ebben az évben is többszörös jelölt lett Jon Batiste, összesen hat jelölést kapott. A tavalyi We Are című albuma után idén is ott van a legjobb albumok jelöltjei között az új lemezével, a Worshippel. A többszörösen jelölt jazz-zenészek: Samara Joy, Kurt Elling, Cécil McLorin Salvant, Julian Lage, Pat Matheny, Kenny Barron, Hilario Durán, Lakecia Benjamin, Billy Childs.
Az új kategóriában, a legjobb alternatív jazz album kategóriában több jelölt is járt már nálunk vagy a közeljövőben fognak fellépni. Ilyen például a jövő hét csütörtökön a Müpában koncertező Cory Henry, a nyáron a BJC-ben fellépő Kurt Elling és Charlie Hunter, Vijay Iyer két éve lépett fel a GetCloser meghívására, de a májusi lemezbemutató sajnos elmaradt a Müpában. A többszörösen jelölt Lakecia Benjamin pedig lemezbemutatóra érkezik a Müpába jövő májusban.
