With the belief that the true value of music lies in an artist's individual creativity and the unique process that each artist uses to create their music, ArtistShare provides a unique atmosphere for muscians to prosper and grow. This year three ArtistShare fan-funded projects have received Grammy nominations:
The Clayton Brothers' album “Brother to Brother" received a nomination in the category Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group.
Geoffrey Keezer's album “Aurea" received a nomination under Best Latin Jazz Album.
And Gerald Clayton's solo on “All of You" from the “Two-Shade" recording received a nomination for Best Improvised Jazz Solo.
Without the fan participation in each of these projects none of this would have been possible. A huge thanks goes out to those ArtistShare participants that made these recordings happen!
