   About Brian Pinner
I have been playing saxophone with Forte Jazz Band for 15 years and on my own for over 30. A Smithfield, VA based group, Forte and I have been a mainstay at festivals and concerts all along the east coast for quite a while now and we're finally starting to reap the benefits of our hard work and love of music. "Just Being Me" is my first solo album project. It was just recently completed with a scheduled release date of June 11, 2009. Look for it soon online on CDBABY.COM. I have included a few of the cuts here on my page. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing and recording them.

Hey Uncle B! How r thangs goin? I know ur nonstop giggin as usual! I wish I was doin the same but I'm at Seymour in Goldsboro NC for 6mths. This will definitely give me a chance to buy some more equipment though. Annnnnnnnnnnd I've been takin some piano lessons and a lil vocal training, because I'm gettin ready to record a few R&B tracks that I've written. I remember lettin you listen to some rap songs I had recorded a while ago, but it seems I write more R&B than rap. So hopefully I'll get to let you listen to some of my R&B tracks. All original sounds, and vocals. So it should be a piece of work. And who knows, maybe one day I can hop on a track with u as feature. Well I hope all is well with u and the fam. Take care. By the way I'm lovin the tracks on your page.
