Thanks Mike, as chief lobbyist for nominee Stanley Clarke, we wanted also to let you know Stanley Clarke has announced the releases of the very first two artists on his Roxboro Entertainment Group label, from Lloyd Gregory and Kennard Ramsey. The guitarist Gregory’s eponymous album and multi-instrumentalist Ramsey’s album Somos are available now on iTunes and Amazon.com. The albums will be made available on CD later in December. “When you are starting a record company, diversity plays a major role,” says Clarke. All of Roxboro’s artists come from different locations in the world and offer remarkable cultural differences.” Meanwhile following the nomination of The Stanley Clarke Band for Best Pop Instrumental Performance and Best Contemporary Jazz Album Clarke said, “Thank you thank you thank you. It really IS an honor just to be nominated,” Clarke said while on tour in Japan. “It’s the Stanley Clarke Band, that was nominated though; not only Stanley Clarke,” “I may have been the band leader, but I share this nomination in gratitude with keyboardist Ruslan Sirota, drummer Ronald Bruner, Jr., featured pianist Hiromi Uehara and the rest of the players on this album. We’re pleased in both categories to be in the company of such a diverse range of talent as our fellow nominees.”
