Local Jazz Sweeps the Nat'l Awards

Huge HURRAYS! for Cory Weeds, Jody Prosnick and Brad Turner, who snared a lion's share of National Jazz Awards last night.

Cory is the sax-playing owner/operator/founder of the Cellar Jazz Club at Broadway and Alma. His Cellar Live won for best label of the year. As it should.

Trumpeter Brad Turner and Bassist Jodi Prosnick have both been regulars at the Cellar from the beginning only a few years ago.

I've had the pleasure of working with all three of these superb musicians, and Cory used to make regular appearances on my radio show, often phoning in from gigs in Italy.

Go here for the complete winners' list, and here for the Cellar website, and here for Cory's blog.
