Erykah Badu didn't win Best new Artist, but did win best female R&B
performance ("On & On")
and best R&B album ("Baduizm"). Jamiroquai also won their first Grammy,
best vocal by duo or group ("Virtual Insanity").

IMHO, the performances of the night went to Wu-Tang's Ol'Dirty Bastard and
that "Soy Bomb" dude who just couldn't wait for the Bob Dylan remix album.

Speaking of Jamiroquai - you heard it first, the April issue of _Keyboard_
magazine
reported that drummer Derrick McKenzie said that the new Jamiroquai
material will delve into
the electronica side and "combine samples and live drumming." Their first
new stuff will be on the soundtrack to the movie "Godzilla" which will be
out in May.
