#NewYorkNotes #WhomWeMiss #KOFIBURBRIDGE @RecordingAcad #WhomYouKnow RECORDING ACADEMY™ STATEMENT RE: KOFI BURBRIDGE FEB. 19, 2019
Two-time GRAMMY® winner Kofi Burbridge was a brilliant flute player and keyboardist best known as a member of the blues collaborative, the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Burbridge earned his first GRAMMY with the Derek Trucks Band in the Best Contemporary Blues Album category for Already Free at the 52nd GRAMMY Awards®, and went on to win the Best Blues Album GRAMMY with the Tedeschi Trucks Band for Revelator at the 54th GRAMMYs. As a versatile musician, he performed numerous times with the Allman Brothers, and was also a member of the band's side project, Frogwings. The blues community has lost one if its most gifted musicians, and he will be dearly missed.
