Brian Kelly Afterplay album eligible for Grammy
Brian Kelly @ 8:43 am
My Afterplay album is eligible for Grammy Award consideration. Recording Academy rules prohibit me from specifying which category it is listed in (field and category names and numbers are proprietary). However, I can say that The Recording Academy has deemed my Instrumental Album to be more “Pop” than Jazz, in league with artists such as Spyro Gyra, Boney James, Chris Botti… Listen to the album here: www.briankelly.com/cds/Afterplay

New Brian Kelly CD: Afterplay - available now
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
