Press Coverage on Grammy Protest

“The four Latin jazz musicians, who filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court in New York on Aug. 2, are Ben Lapidus, Mark Levine, Eugene Marlow and Bobby Sanabria. They are not seeking compensation, but they believe their careers are being severely harmed by the elimination of their category in a breach by NARAS’ ‘contractual obligations’ and that the elimination of Latin jazz causes ‘irreparable injury to the members of the Recording Academy.’  - Billboard.biz
