		The brothers are hoping a Hawaiian Grammy award resonates with local musicians, sparking them to pursue Hawaiian music and, perhaps, withdraw from the Jawaiian sound that has permeated the Island music scene for a couple of decades.
		When the Grammy award for Best Hawaiian Music Album is announced tomorrow at the 47th annual event in Los Angeles, it will be a historical moment, not only for the winner and five nominees, but the state, Hawaii's indigenous culture and thousands of musicians who have kept the music vibrant and alive.

		Sharing the award with Nichols is the ubiquitous Elliot Scheiner (a two-time winner for Aja, his first Steely Dan album, and Gaucho) and two relative unknowns: “Phil Burnett works for Donald in his studio, River Sound,” Nichols says.

		ANN ARBOR — The Naxos recording of William Bolcom’s Songs of Innocence and of Experience, a collaboration between the University Musical Society and the University of Michigan School of Music, was awarded four Grammy Awards at the ceremonies in Los Angeles yesterday.
		The recording of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer William Bolcom’s massive song cycle based on the poetry of William Blake was a live recording of the concert presented in Ann Arbor at Hill Auditorium on April 8, 2004 and was the first commercial recording of the work, which had its world premiere in 1984.
		Perhaps most remarkable about this recording winning the prestigious awards is that it was a production comprised largely of University of Michigan students, who were competing against outstanding professionals in the international classical music field.
