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
