 
1998 Jazz Grammy Award Nominees
and Winners
The 40th Annual Grammy Awards were presented on February
25th, in what had to be one of the lamest ceremonies in Grammy history
(except for Stevie Wonder's stellar performance). The nominations covered
music released between October 1, 1996 and September 30, 1997. Jazz winners
are highlighted below in purple. For a complete
