He won a bunch for Jazz Solo and for Group Performance, so he racked up a bunch just by virtue of continuously working and being involved in stuff. Grammy Jazz voters are very safe, so as a known quantity he probably won a lot off name-recognition alone. Not discounting him at all, Chuck is an inspiration to me and one of the all-time greats. But yeah, if he were still around he’d probably dismiss most of his wins too.
