Legends of New York's Jazz scene have come together donating their time and talents to raise money for the victims of the New Orleans tragedy. The concert will also include special performances from Kidd Jordan, Alvin Fielder and Clyde Kerr – three musicians from the New Orleans area who were affected by the tragedy, but were lucky to make it out of the area safely. We invite all to come out, enjoy wonderful music and donate to an essential cause. Many people are donating time, energy, and various resources to make this concert possible, from the musicians’ talents to the soundman’s microphones to the piece of paper on which you are reading this announcement. All money raised will go to organizations that are helping the musicians and artists of New Orleans rebuild their lives. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
