Harvey Mason Jr., interim CEO/president of the Recording Academy, discusses how the organization's work -- including the Grammys -- move forward in these challenging times
, chair of the Recording Academy’s board of trustees and the organization’s interim CEO/president, about how the academy's work goes forward in these challenging times.
Last time we spoke, you suggested that you weren't interested in being considered for the job on a permanent basis. Is that still true? Yes, that would be very simple. I think we would want to do a little more due diligence around the process. I think the timing is different now and the academy is different now. Even though it was just a year ago [that Dugan's appointment was announced], the search started a year and eight months ago. So I think we would probably want to take a look at all the candidates. Obviously the runners-up would be people that we would absolutely look to see if they're still interested.
It's a little bit tough to talk about morale, or to gauge morale, when we're all going through so many things and dealing with personal hardship and crises. We're trying to figure out how we're going to work from our living rooms for another day. So it's really hard to get too optimistic at this point. But I do feel like we're moving in a really positive direction.The board meeting is going to be on Zoom. We're having some of the committee meetings on Zoom.
If you can't do a full-scale Grammy telecast at Staples on Jan. 31, would you rather do some kind of show then or postpone it until you can do it the usual way?
