Brian Lynch wins Grammy!!

I’ve blogged, from time to time, about my friend and fellow trumpeter; Brian Lynch, and more specifically about his recent Artistshare Project.

I’m pleased to see that the resultant CD; “Simpatico”, won a Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album of the Year at last night’s awards. This is not only suitable recognition for a wonderful recording but also a long overdue serious accolade for a masterful and largely unsung musician.

Congratulations Brian! Beers are on me next time I see you…
