Brazilian Music Award - Prêmio da Música Brasileira.
I am very happy to be part of this recording, both as a drummer and also as a "helping hand" on getting the record done and released. Congrats to Salvador and to all other musicians and artists involved!You can check out the list of winners here. (in portuguese)
The record "The Art of Samba Jazz" was voted best instrumental recording from a list of some of the greatest artists of today, and incredible recordings in Brazilian music and beyond. This is a huge award and recognition to the genius of Brazilian pianist Dom Salvador, who is such an important name to Brazilian music. Salvador has been living in the US since the 70's, and has maintained a busy career of performances and recordings.
The Dom Salvador Sextet was also nominated as the best group of the year.
