Shambhala contains 14 tracks drawing from traditional and contemporary jazz, blues, and pop.

This year, Susan had a great experience opening for Grammy winner Delfeayo Marsalis. Susan is the creator/producer/artistic director for Goddess Festival Charity Events (similar to Lilith Fair). These events have raised thousands of dollars for various charities. Susan's new fundraising project - "ONELOVE" project will give a portion of all downloads to charity. The first CD will be co-produced by Susan Wylde and Eddie Bullen (Deborah Cox, Maestro, Fefe Dobson, Glenn Lewis). Based in R&B dance, "ONELOVE" will fuse R&B dance with jazz, worldbeat, funk, rock etc. The first single (written by Susan Wylde) will be available across the internet soon. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Jazz News :: home page |
