s the Top 10s roll into the inbox here at JazzWeek’s New Jersey branch office, we’re seeing some no- Atices of the Brian Lynch/Eddie Palmieri Project’s Simpático. Of course JazzWeek aren’t the only people no- ticing, the album has also been nominated for a Gram- my in the Latin Jazz category. JazzWeek caught up with Lynch at his home in New York City. – Tad Hendrickson photo by Nick Ruechel JazzWeek: What’s going on? Brian Lynch: Well, you know, basking in the glory of my nomination. Congratulations. Thank you. Have you been nominated before? I was nominated before as part of a group – the Conrad Herwig Another Kind Of Blue project. They put everyone’s name from the band on the nomination, so I got a nomination on that, as opposed to just being a part of somebody’s ➤ jazzweek.com • December 18, 2006 JazzWeek 9 Artist Q&A: Brian Lynch (continued)

record. This is my first time as a leader, so it’s kind of cool. That came out on Artist Share. How has that been working out for you? It’s working out good. I had great support during the initial stages of the re- cording, including executive producer, gold, silver and bronze participants – we have these different levels of participation. These folks all invested a significant amount of money in my project and I gotta say that I’ve made some good new friends through this process. A gentleman named Roger Townsend is someone I hadn’t met before – he’s a lawyer in Houston and he’s also a percussionist and drummer. He’s a really nice guy who has been a great deal of help. So it worked out. The trick is to get people involved and let them feel that they are really a part of the whole thing. How does the partnership with Eddie work in this project? We wrote some of the tunes together; we wrote four things together. And “Paginas de Mujer” was Eddie’s composition, but I arranged all the mu- sic. I also fleshed in some cases what were more or less lead sheets and outlines. We spent a few days working stuff out, coming up with the basic ideas for the compositions. Then I went home and worked them out, expanded them and worked them into full arrangements. [I did] all the extra parts, intros, codas and things like that. Some of that is actually documented on the web site. How so? Those who buy the CD can hear some stuff when it was at the point of creation, which is something I think is really neat. Artist Share is great in that provides the framework into being able to docu- ment things more carefully than I had in the past. It made the whole process of putting everything together more purposeful. It would seem to add to the workload on you. It does. But it all paid off – I’m really happy with the way that things turned out. I think that just about everything on this is to the best of my ability to do something. I didn’t let anything go. So it seems that you’ve worked all the angles out as a musician who utilizes technology. Yeah as much as humanly possible. I wish there was two of me. One could sit around and practice all day and one could sort out this tech stuff. I’ve al- ➤ jazzweek.com • December 18, 2006 JazzWeek 10 Artist Q&A: Brian Lynch (continued)

ways liked to fool around with the computer and stuff. It’s amazing how much you can do yourself now. Since I teach a lot and hang around with younger folks, I just try to get hip to what they are doing. I had heard about Myspace, but it wasn’t until I went out to the Brubeck Institute to teach that my students told me that I should really get on it. Same thing with the You Tube stuff. It kind of bubbles up from the underground and then we old fogies take to it. I wish there was I think you’ve taken to it quite well and it’s worked in your favor. two of me. One One thing I remember about that technology panel that you and I sat on was how anxious some of the people there were about these changes – the level- could sit around ing of the playing field since anyone can release a record and how putting your and practice stuff up on You Tube is giving it away. People struggle to understand how things are changing so much. I’m not exactly sure how it is all going to turn all day and one out, nor how we’re are going to monetize some of these things, but I do know that you can’t fight technology. In terms of using this stuff and the reach of it, could sort out it seems to be the only game in town for independent musicians who can’t af- “ this tech stuff. ford a full-time publicist or don’t have a label. You gotta go there and use it. Independent rock bands do real well with it – people come out of nowhere and can sell 50,000 copies of a record. You’re originally from Milwaukee. Was there a Latin scene there? I played Latin Jazz starting in my college days. It was always part of my com- prehension in a jazz sense, but after I came to New York and experienced the music in its natural habitat then I was more inspired to delve into it. Also, the opportunities to play with great musicians were here, in that idiom as well as regular jazz. It’s just part of the scene here to work with Hector Lavoe and other great salsa groups. I was getting that apprenticeship at the same time I was getting one working with Horace Silver or Toshiko Akiyoshi Big Band or Jack McDuff. There is quite the line-up on the new record, even besides Eddie. Well it’s an extension of my musical family, people who have worked in my groups, leaders I’ve worked with like Phil Woods and Eddie. Then throwing in someone I hadn’t worked with but admire a lot: Lila Downs. She sounds great and it’s a little out of her usual thing. I’m really proud of the song we did (“Paginas De Mujer”) and I think she sounds great. How long have you been working Eddie? Nineteen years. We’re getting into Ellingtonian territory with that. I’ve worked with Phil Woods for 14, so I kind of go for these long associations. I do like the family aspect of it: working with them for so long and there is so much history shared, it’s not like going to work for somebody else. I appreciate it and cherish it a lot. JW
