Congratz!

[akihiro]

Sweet!!!

[bforest4]

Congratulations! Just voted, there was a rather large list of artists that are being weeded down to 5 nominees per category. The good news is that the list of Jazz artists was rather small relative to pop, rock, country so your chances are decent to become a nominee. Not sure if you would get a grammy if it won, but it would be nice to be on an album that gets one. I know in some categories, the engineers, producers, mastering engineers get an award, not sure about musicians.

[Rumblefish]

Joe I don't understand your question.When someone has a strong emotional
response to one of my paintings or one of my tunes,I just let it flow and enjoy the connection.Maybe it means that a project you participated in has reached out and grabbed some folks by their yin yangs and actually got their
Distracted consumerist minds involved in actually listening.With attention.
It surely means recognition for achieving something "special".

It certainly deserves congratulations! Enjoy and don't analyze till you take the fun out of the moment.

[Austinrocks]

Really like to see you win a grammy, I am pulling for ya bro.

[GDking]

Wow congrats that does not happen every day! I hope you win!

[re-animator]

very cool! I think TGP should keep track of how many grammys are represented here :)

[mc5nrg]

Small world ...I used to jam with John Palmer in the basement of Heritage House in A2 twenty years ago.

[Macaroni]

Congratulations! Good luck!

[The Guy]

wow, thats really great stuff! maybe youll get to meet beyonce?

[Brian D]

Very cool. Good luck!

[Franklin]

Don't forget us when you are all famous and stuff!!

Good luck!!

[greggorypeccary]

Congrats on the Grammy consideration!

The real question is: is the record any good? And more importantly, how are the guitar tones? ;)


Just kidding, I'm sure its great on all levels! :BEER

[90wreck]

For now(and always will be) you are "Grammy Nominated" Joe L.
Won't be long and you may always be known as "Grammy Award Winning" Joe L.
I hope so.
Congrats!
Don

[eBay]

I have every confidence that all this fame and adoration won't go to Lucid's head so don't be afraid to lay on the love. He deserves it.

[chrisr777]

Not sure if you would get a grammy if it won,

If you are an official member of the band, and from the website I saw it certainly sounds like you are since you are listed in the initial lineup and not the special guests, I would think you would get a Grammy. Congratulations.

[skydog]

Congratulations. By the way, who does the voting for grammys?

[j04n]

Good luck!

[Lucidology]

More thanks to you guys ... and here's another clip from that CD ...

Using my synth as an envelope pad behind my Godin Nylon String chords ...
Then about half-way through, overdubbed a trombone-ish sound using the guitar synth too:

[KRosser]

Fantastic! Good luck to you!

(How many Stones do you need on one record?)

[gainiac]

Very cool Joe!

[testing1two]

Very cool Joe. I work for the The Recording Academy and most of the work is being done this weekend to determine eligibility for the final nominations list.

The official nominations will be announced on December 3. There's actually going to be a prime-time television special on CBS to highlight some of the nominations as well as promote the opening of the new GRAMMY Museum at LA Live. The entire nominations list will go up on grammy.com after the television special.

Good Luck!

[ToneZappa]

Sir Joseph !!! ..... well done sir. ;)

[Frank Axtell]

That's awesome Joseph, keep us posted.

[bostonwal]

Congratulations!

[3 Mile Stone]

You know what?

That's just totally cool man, congratulations. Th eonly thing cooler would be to win and have one of those statues in your house. Heck, I'd set it on my amp every night!

[shigihara]

Hey Paul ... I could just imagine how many Grammy considerations
you've been part of ...


Hi Joseph, congratulations and thanks for your kind words !!!

just being on the long list is exciting, isn't it ?!?
In which category are you guys listed ?

Our band has been very fortunate winning 2 Grammies for the Brecker Brothers recording in 2006 and another one this year for the Patti Austin recording. Right now we're on the long list for 'Best Large Jazz Ensemble Recording' with Maceo's 'Roots'n'Grooves' (Heads Up) and Joe Lovano's 'Symphonica' (Blue Note) among some other related entries... I'm featured as a soloist on both cd's, so it's
great...

take care, paul

[Lucidology]

Great thanks to all you guys .....

take care, paul

Thumb's way up hoping for the Maceo "Roots'n'Grooves or the Lovano project to win Paul ...

It's a great CD ... (Paul, is there going to be a DVD of this by chance...?)

Going to have to pick up the Patty Austin and Lovano ones too ...

The Brecker Brother's is a masterpiece folk ...
Have watched Paul on the DVD many times ....

Paul's band has actually won 2 grammies already,
and are on the long list for two more ....

Please check Paul's work out when you get a chance ... it's well worth the effort.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, and to answer your question Paul, we are listed under contemporary jazz ...
Though I think what we're doing on the CD is not really all that jazzy
More of jazzy mood making ... :-)

[DC1]

Good for you Joe!

best,

DC

[Roadeye]

Congrats!

[testing1two]

+1..and for anyone who hasn't heard the Maceo Parker CD (techinically, a double CD) yet...it's incredibly hip!

[Lucidology]

+1..and for anyone who hasn't heard the Maceo Parker CD (techinically, a double CD) yet...it's incredibly hip!

It really, truly is ... I'm hoping it wins the grammy,
and hoping it comes out on DVD ... though there is a youtube somewhere,,,
Maybe I can dig it up & post it here ...

[dzo]

That's great! Congratulations.

[anxiousmofo]

Wonderful to hear, Joe.

[blownirocz]

Mighty fine accomplishment, my friend. Certainly helps to be doing what you love, doesn't it? Keep 'em comin'!

[daddyo]

Say hi to Beyonce on the big night :banana

[Bobby D]

congrats Bro -- I know that feeling.....LVX Nova almost got the Grammy nod for best new age album.

Even if it didn't happen, at least I was in the game......so congrats to YOU, and I hope you make the cut!!!!

bobby d

[bhap2]

I haven't heard the CD but I'm pretty sure the guitar playing was great. Congrats!

[BuddyGuit]

Congrats Joseph!

[MartinC]

wow ... you must be stoked

congrats

[Lucidology]

Thanks guys ...
Here's another cut from the CD for curiosity's sake ..
Though it is all improvised... it's seems more in the mood vain //

Here's I'm playing a funky rhythm on my Godin Nylon string...
Then overdubbed very simple lines using a flute sound with the guitar synth:

Heading Home (Pfeiffer Beach Fire Dance) (http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=691051&songID=5274271)

I would think so ... it's called Dark Chocolate~Island Gypsy...

There's one tune that the flute guy (Ronnie Ray)
plays guitar on because I couldn't make it to a last minute session..

Just want to state up front ... that ain't me babe...
(hoping folk don't think it's me ...:-(
