F2C Musician in Residence wins Grammy
F2C: Freedom to Connect Musician in Residence John Jorgenson just won the "Country Instrumental" Grammy for playing in a seven-guitar collaboration entitled, "Cluster Pluck." Such a song is a superb fit in a Washington DC based discussion of Internet policy. The other six guitar players included Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, and Albert Lee.I announced today that the John Jorgenson Quintet would be F2C: Freedom to Connect Musicians in Residence for 2009. The announcement said, in part,
John Jorgenson earned "best guitarist" three years in a row from the Academy of Country Music. The John Jorgenson Quintet plays hot, hot, hot Django Reinhardt-style Gypsy Jazz. The quintet boasts burning jazz fiddler Jason Anick and a rhythm section so smokin I've bought carbon credits. http://johnjorgenson.comAccording to the Redlands (CA) Daily Facts, Jorgenson's hometown newspaper, Jorgenson has played on two other Grammy winning recordings, one by Peter Frampton, the other by Bonnie Raitt. He's been nominated two more times for work with Earl Scruggs and The Desert Rose Band, which he co-founded. [Article]
