“Brian Kelly (and company) tear it up on Afterplay, track after track… this album came at me like a bolt of lightning. It’s chock full of great tunes, superb musicianship… Fans of early Spyrogyra (circa Freetime) - this one is a must have.”
- Bill Binkelman, newagereporter.com
“Bright and upbeat, “Afterplay” provides a bit of sonic optimism in these days of uncertainty and change… More jazz than new age, Kelly has created a collection of eleven rhythmically and melodically complex pieces that are easily accessible for casual listening yet provide a substantial and sensual auditory experience for many repeated plays.”
- Kathy Parsons, mainlypiano.com

Brian Kelly @ 6:46 pm
I’ve turned up the heat on this album. It’s more energetic than my first, while still offering space for beauty and quiet eloquence - it’s a full meal! I remain committed to strong melodies, fluid chops, and richly textured arrangements, and am joined by some fantastic musicians who really bring the music alive: Eric Crystal on sax, David Rokeach on drums, Viviana Guzman and Carol Alban on flutes, James Robinson on acoustic guitar, Ross Wilson on trumpet & trombone, and Tim Bolling on percussion. The CD is also available from: CdBaby & Amazon
