FLOW nominated for International Acoustic Music Award

Posted: February 2, 2018

Four of the genre's most innovative, critically-acclaimed and awarded independent artists have come together for - FLOW(pianist Fiona Joy, guitarist Lawrence Blatt, trumpet and flugelhorn Jeff Oster and GRAMMY®-winning guitarist Will Ackerman. The group debuted live to a sold-out crowd at Carnegie's Weill Hall, and is slated to perform at the 14th Annual Zone Music Awards at Roussel Hall in New Orleans this May.  "The inspiration comes from Chick Corea's classic '70s all-star band Return To Forever with Stanley Clarke and Al Di Meola, who joined forces, wrote music and produced a sound that was more powerful than any of their individual works," he says. "That was the idea, bringing great musicians together with this kind of concept," he adds. "When I started thinking about who it might be, my thoughts turned naturally to Jeff and Fiona. We knew pretty quickly that this was going to develop into something."
