[QUOTE="Lee Brenkman, post: 19257, member: 154"] Re: Obligatory Grammy audio complaint thread Charlie, you are right that Ken Ehrlich is the Executive Producer of the show. Even though I may have the titles incorrect I do remember that the Cossettes, Pere et Fil, were, during my tenure at a Governor anyway, the ones who were always pushing for "more glitz and big names" on the broadcast while those of us in the local chapters were lobbying for more representation of jazz, folk, classical and other non pop music in the talent mix. My point remains that, as the largest single income source for NARAS, the Grammy telecast and the committee that makes those decisions is under a lot of pressure from many sides and factions. Most of what some people in the "less commercial" fields of music don't like about the broadcast is the result of the "go for the biggest possible general audience" programming. Ballot collection is done directly by the Academy's accounting firm, Delloitte and Touche. [/QUOTE]
