Transplants - Tall Cans In The Air

In this sense, the list of winners of the first two Grammy awards - for 1958 and 1959 - speaks for itself: they have the name of the Hollywood composer Henry Mancini (in the future he will create the famous theme from the Pink Panther) and conductor Nelson Riddle, pop singers Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, Louis Prime and Net King Cole. Jazz, ennobled by its long history, was also honored by the academic jury, which awarded Ella Fitzgerald, County Basie and Duke Ellington, but all attempts by representatives of the new school were systematically rejected. Only in 1962 was the nomination "Best Rock and Roll Recording" officially created.
