2003 4BR AWARDS:
Solo CD of the Year
Read our nominations below for the above category. To vote, follow
the links at the bottom of this page.
This year we have initiated a new award – The 4BR Solo CD
of the Year. It would have been patently unfair to try and nominate
just five CD’s from an overall list, so we taken the step
of dividing the releases into two sections - and this means you
get the chance to vote on some even more great playing.
Although not great in number, the quality was tremendous, and for
us five stood out. We would add though that we couldn’t take
into account a few releases as we had not reviewed them by the time
we came to these awards, so we couldn’t take into account
some super bits of playing from David Childs on his latest release
“Hear My Prayer” or from Stephen Mead’s latest
“Bravura” which we haven’t heard yet. It shouldn’t
stop you from voting for them of course, or for Brett Baker’s
“Medtiation”, Phillipe Shartz’s “Magic of
Brass”. Take your pick!
