Schaben/Los Angeles Times/TNS) If Harvey Mason Jr. has any say in the matter, the future of the Grammy Awards and the Recording Academy – under whose auspices the 63-year-old Grammys are presented – will be all about greater inclusion, transparency, diversity and equity. Each is imperative for the music world’s most prestigious and comprehensive annual awards show.
