The nominees for all categories for the 55th Annual Grammy Awards have been announced, with the awards ceremony to be held February 10th, 2013. As usual, the jazz categories will be announced during a online pre-telecast, reserving the prime time telecast for categories such as rap, rock, and country. It is nice, however, to see the Best Latin Jazz Album category back on the list.
