Archeophone Takes Home Two Grammys!

We are kvelling big time for our friends Rich Martin and Meagan Hennessey of Archeophone Records, for chalking up two Grammy Awards for the album I told you about last August Centennial: King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band. While I enjoyed the official telecast, I’d have enjoyed it much more if I’d gotten to witness this!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Archeophone three times before, having written the liner notes for their releases Joe Weber and Lew Fields: The Mike and Meyer Files, Nat M. Wills: The Famous Tramp Comedian, and Van and Schenck: Pennant Winning Battery of Songland. It was Ricky Riccardi, Director of Research Collections at Louis Armstrong House Museum, who penned the liner notes to Centennial, deservedly taking home a Grammy for his efforts. And Rich and Meagan won for producing and releasing the album itself.

Congratulations to all!
