Brian Kelly Afterplay album eligible for Grammy ∞

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

Solo Piano Album by Brian Kelly In Progress ∞

In June I’ll be rehearsing music for my solo piano album (Tomorrow’s Daydream) before going into the studio and recording this summer. There will be 11 tracks on the album (approximately 44 minutes total). Listen here: www.solopianoartist.com. I’m trying to come up with song titles for tracks #5, #7, and #11. If any images or titles come to mind, please send me your thoughts.

Sheet Music for all 11 compositions will be available for sale on my website after the album has been released.
