This year our three featured musicians will be tenor saxophonist, Tim Ries a member of the Rolling Stones touring band, trombonist, Andre Hayward formerly with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and the winner of the Thelonious Monk Competition in 2003 and the talented vocalist Monica Lynk Anderson. Please take a look at the links below of our guest musicians and Jimmy Greene's CBS letter to himself. All proceeds will go directly to the families of Sandy Hook and to the Ana Grace Fund. Ana Grace Marquez-Greene was one of the children killed in the Newtown shootings. Her parents, Jimmy and Nelba are dear friends of mine that go back to my college years. Our contributions as a school and a jazz community will continue to support the families of Newtown as they work to support each other and in their efforts to prevent the causes of gun violence. It is fitting to honor Ana's memory with music, as she was musically gifted. In our efforts to raise funds for this worthy cause, we hope you can join us on April 11th for this special evening of music.
