Congrats to my old flautist mate Tim Munro from Brisbane, whose group Eighth Blackbird has just picked up a Grammy Award for 'Best Chamber Music Performance'. Tim appeared on my show New Music Up Late last year and enlightened us all on this very proactive new music group from Chicago. Go team!
Speaking of Grammies, I was very surprised to read that during his lifetime Pierre Boulez has won a total of 26 Grammies. That's twice as many as Michael Jackson! And 3 more than U2. Somehow I just don't associate this one-time radical with glitzy US record awards, but I guess you can't judge Boulez by his cover.

i'd like to propose a "grammy duet" featuring boulez and tina turner. reckon he'd make for a much more interesting pairing than beyonce...
