AL COOK meets AMADEUS 2008
The rental of Amadeus Austrian Music Award takes place on the 18th April this year in the Viennese Gasometer. We have the honour to say, that one of our artists – Al Cook – is nominated under the 5 best of the category “ Jazz/Blues/Folk album of the year – national”. The nominated album is “The Barrelhouse Man”.
This year the Amadeus takes place for the ninth time and is one of the most significant honourings for Austrian musicians. The rental will transfer live in the Austrian private TV transmitter PULS 4 and on the next week-end a special is shown at ProSieben Austria.
Five nominated per category are determined from the annual evaluation of the official Austrian sales hit parade ”Ö3 Austria top 40” that means the music fans decide on the assignment of most prices directly.
On the 10th April, 2008 there is a presentation of Wolf Records to the honour of the nomination in the Fernwärme Vienna. There will also be an appearance of Al Cook and his band here.
