10 NOMINATIONS PUT LAURYN HILL ATOP GRAMMY HEAP

Lavished with 10 Grammy nominations on Tuesday, 23-year-old performer-songwriter-producer Lauryn Hill has accomplished something previously thought impossible: Made an album that appeals to the traditionally stodgy National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, to notoriously finicky critics, and to consumers.

Hill led the nominees for the 41st annual Grammy Awards, to be presented Feb. 24. Her solo debut album, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” was a huge hit, not only on the pop charts (where it debuted at No. 1 and has sold 3 million copies) but with critics and industry tastemakers.

Though the academy has long been criticized for its failure to recognize up-and-coming artists in their prime, the 13,000-member organization of music business professionals nominated Hill for album of the year, best new artist, best pop vocal performance and producer of the year, among other honors.

The New Jersey artist, also a member of the multimillion-selling rap group the Fugees, led a wave of female nominees.

In previous years, women performers who didn’t fit the beautiful balladeer mold, as exemplified by Whitney Houston or Celine Dion, were frequently overlooked.

But this year, the album of the year category is dominated by women from a variety of genres: singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, techno-rock band Garbage (fronted by singer Shirley Manson), edgy pop diva Madonna, country-pop singer Shania Twain, and Hill.

Of course, the Grammys wouldn’t be the Grammys without bowing deeply to the mainstream, and Dion scored big, with nominations for the record and song of the year for her “Titanic” soundtrack contribution, “My Heart Will Go On.” Twain and Crow each bagged six nominations, Madonna five, and R&B-pop chanteuse Brandy had four.

Many of the usual suspects made up the Chicago-based contingent of nominees, including R. Kelly, whose duet with Dion on “I’m Your Angel” was named for best pop collaboration. Buddy Guy was in the running for best contemporary blues album, and Otis Rush for best traditional blues album.

“I’m thankful and grateful, but I’ve been nominated before and this time I’d like to win,” said Rush.

Nominated for the first time were local rockers Wilco, who collaborated with British folk-punk singer Billy Bragg on “Mermaid Avenue” in setting unreleased lyrics by the late folk legend Woody Guthrie to new music.

“It’s like being in People magazine,” said Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy of the nomination for best contemporary folk album. “It’s a little bit jive, but it’s great for your family to talk about.”

For Chicago house pioneer Steve “Silk” Hurley, his nomination as remixer of the year “is the ultimate honor, a dream for any producer or remix artist,” he said. “When I started doing this in 1984, I didn’t even think there’d be a category like this, let alone one day being nominated for it.”

The Chicago Symphony, and two conductors closely associated with that orchestra, again figured prominently in several classical categories.

Pierre Boulez’s CSO recording of Bela Bartok’s opera “Bluebeard’s Castle” was nominated for best classical album, best opera recording and best engineered classical album. Another Boulez/CSO album, Mahler’s Symphony No. 9, is in the running for best orchestral performance.

The late Georg Solti, the CSO’s conductor laureate and the all-time Grammy winner, received Grammy nominations for best classical album and best choral performance for his final

recording, a collection of choral and orchestral works by his Hungarian countrymen–Bartok, Zoltan Kodaly and Leo Weiner– on London.

Once again none of music director Daniel Barenboim’s CSO discs was nominated.

In jazz, Chicago singer Kurt Elling was nominated for the third time in a row for best jazz vocal performance, for “This Time It’s Love.”

His competitors in this category include veteran Shirley Horn, for “I Remember Miles,” and the estimable Dianne Reeves, for “That Day . . .”

Tribune critics Howard Reich and John von Rhein contributed to this report.
