As many of you know, I once studied to be a jazz musician. Although I came to grips with my profound lack of talent in my twenties, I am fortunate enough to have great friends who are among the world’s finest jazz musicians. Jazz remains one of the great joys of my life.<\/p>\n

My friend Brian Lynch<\/a> is not your average trumpet player. His trumpet playing facility and compositional skills are unrivaled. He is also curious, disciplined and a very find professor at the University of Miami. Brian has enjoyed long tenures in the bands of Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Phil Woods, Eddie Palmieri and countless other musical greats.<\/p>\n

One of the most exciting experiences of my life was being in the recording studio (owned by Tony Bennett) while Brian rehearsed and recorded the groundbreaking CD, Simp\u00e1tico<\/a> with 9-time Grammy Award winning Latin music giant, Eddie Palmieri, legendary jazz saxophonist Phil Woods and many of today’s finest jazz\/latin jazz artists. Brian was gracious to give me an album credit for Videography, Web Photos and New Media Consultant<\/em>. (you can see two of the videos I created in 2005 at the bottom of this post)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>However, the greatest day of my life was when I put on my fancy clothes to attend the 2006 Grammy Awards where Brian won the Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album of the Year and thanked me from the stage! I never screamed so hard or felt as much joy for another person than when I heard his name read as the winner. Seconds later Sylvia and I\u00a0 were whisked away with the rest of Brian’s entourage to run the media gauntlet\u00a0 before the televised Grammy spectacular and after-party. While waiting with Brian to do press interviews, we were positioned between Al Jarreau and Ruby Dee!<\/p>\n

Brian initially released his self-produced and Internet-distributed recording via the pioneering Artistshare<\/a> Web platform, where fans not only help finance the production, but participate in the creative process. The recording brings together musical elder statesmen, Eddie Palmieri<\/a> and Phil Woods<\/a> in a genre defying gumbo of jazz and latin rhythms. If you don’t know anything about music, Phil Woods improvised the iconic saxophone solo on Billy Joel’s Just the Way You Are<\/em>, in one take. Brian, Eddie and Phil Woods were joined by the phenomenal Mexican American vocalist, Lila Downs<\/a>, on two tracks and were supported by many of the best musicians of today.<\/p>\n

The recording, engineering and mastering was done with great care and precision. This is a fantastic sounding album you will want to listen to for years to come and it is finally available for digital download in an extended version with extra tracks and PDF liner notes from Amazon.com<\/a>, iTunes<\/a> and Bandcamp.<\/a><\/p>\n

Please check out this CD<\/a>, you won’t regret it!<\/p>\n
