I'm proud to announce I have received a 2010 Grammy Nominee Participation Award for my work as Associate Producer on George Benson's "Songs and Stories" album.The album was nominated in the Best Surround Album category.This came out of sessions I produced with George in Sao Paolo,Brazil with some of the finest Brazilian musicians.The executive producer John Burk and main producer Marcus Miller selected 2 songs from the Brazilian recordings,the James Taylor classic "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" and the Christopher Cross hit "Sailin".If you haven't heard this recording I highly recommend it.
