Jazzman Germanson talks "Off the Cuff"
Pianist Rick Germanson is one of many Milwaukee-born and bred musicians who have become stalwarts on the New York jazz scene. His new disc, "Off the Cuff," is a testament both to how ingrained he's become in the Big Apple, and how he's maintained ties to Milwaukee. We caught up with him recently to talk about it.

Lynch nabs Grammy
Milwaukee jazz trumpeter Brian Lynch, who now lives and works in New York City, won the Grammy for Best Latin Jazz album for his record "Simpatico," with Latin jazz legend Eddie Palmieri. Especially interesting is the fact that the disc has only been available via Lynch's site at Artist Share.com.
