Trumpet Artist Brian Lynch - Day of Trumpets III
b'Born September 12, 1956 in Urbana, Illinois, Lynch grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he apprenticed on a high level with such local residents as pianist Buddy Montgomery and organist Melvin Rhyne, while earning a degree from the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music. Located in San Diego in 1980-81, he gained further valuable experience in the group of alto master Charles McPherson. \\n \\n\\t\\tTowards the end of 1981, Lynch moved to New York, and soon linked up with the Horace Silver Quintet (1982-1985) and the Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra (1982-1988). Simultaneously, he played and recorded on the Latin scene with salsa bandleader Angel Canales (1982-83) and legendary cantante Hector LaVoe (1983-87). He began his association with Eddie Palmieri in 1987, and at the end of 1988 joined what turned out to be the final edition of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. He began his association with Phil Woods in 1992, and also worked frequently with Benny Golson around this time.\\n\\t\\t \\n\\t\\tSeeking to share his knowledge with others and to keep in touch with the fundamentals of his art, Lynch has turned increasingly to teaching in recent years. He currently holds faculty positions at New York University and the North Netherlands Conservatory, has taught at the Stanford Jazz Workshop, and has conducted workshops in numerous major institutes of learning, including The Eastman School of Music, Dartmouth University, the University of North Texas, and Columbia University, among many others. Many of today\'s finest young jazz trumpeters call him a mentor. Brian is proud, but it works both ways: the interchange of ideas between he and the "youngbloods" challenges him to keep it real and keep practicing!\\n\\t\\t \\n\\t\\tThe Brian Lynch/Eddie Palmieri Project recording, "Simpat\\xedco" received a Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album in 2006. Performing many of the tunes from that groundbreaking recording, let\'s join Brian and his all-star band for Part One of this exclusive concert from the Yamaha Day of Trumpets III event at Yamaha Artist Services, Inc. in New York.\\n\\t\\t \\nBrian Lynch - Yamaha YTR-9335NYS trumpet\\nManuel Valera - piano\\nLuques Curtis - bass\\nDafnis Prieto - drums'
