Brian Lynch announced recently the launch of his new recording project, The Brian Lynch/Eddie Palmieri Project 2005, in collaboration with Artist Share, the innovative website based content delivery system. The Brian Lynch/ Eddie Palmieri Project showcases the acclaimed trumpeter and composer with his longtime musical mentor, the legendary Eddie Palmieri in a CD project of new original music by Lynch, as well as special collaborative works composed by Palmieri and Lynch together.

An all-star group featuring another of Lynch's distinguished musical compatriots, the legendary saxophonist Phil Woods, will record these new works. Jazz masters Conrad Herwig (trombone), and Donald Harrison (alto and tenor sax) will fill out the stellar front line for this recording. Percussionist Pedro Martínez, drummers Robby Ameen and Ernesto Simpson, and bassist Rubén Rodríguez will comprise the state of the art rhythm section. As an extra bonus, acclaimed pianist Edsel Gómez will join the ensemble for a special suite of compositions dedicated to maestro Palmieri.

This unique musical experience will be shared with its audience using the cutting edge Artist Share system, as utilized in recent projects by Maria Schneider and Jim Hall. Participants will be able to experience the artistic process through streaming and downloaded audio and video, downloaded compositional sketches and finished music, and even online lessons. Users will be able to follow every step of the way, as Brian creates and crafts this project through exclusive on line journals. A limited edition CD of the final product will be released exclusively through the project website in October 2005.
