Philadelphia's own Orrin Evans and The Captain Black Big Band are nominated for a Grammy for their album "Walk A Mile In My Shoe." They are nominated for best large jazz ensemble album.

If Evans wins Sunday, it will be his first Grammy win despite having been nominated twice before.

As the saying goes, the third time is the charm. CBS News Philadelphia asked him if he had won, whether it would validate his 30-year career, and whether he thought he should have also won both times before.
