"Sax
in the City", New CD Release to Benefit Breast Cancer Organizations
A
new CD, "Sax in the City" (Apria Records), is a captivating compilation
of 11 top women jazz instrumentalists that offers an intriguing overview
of whatÕs happening on the jazz scene today. As appealing as the music
itself is the fact that all profits will be donated to a variety of
organizations that provide support to women faced with breast cancer.
The release is timed for holiday gift giving.
The project was conceived and produced by saxophonist Laura Dreyer,
who was inspired by her own recent breast cancer scare, who was amazed
and deeply moved by the organizations that were in place to provide
emotional support, financial aid, education, medical care, and more.
While her situation did not turn out to be breast cancer, the experience
helped her gained a deeper understanding of what women (and sometimes
men!) who are faced with this disease must deal with. The profits
generated from this CD will help fund those charities and organizations
that make such a tremendous difference in the lives of so many people.
All of the musicians on the recording generously contributed their
songs to this project with the hope that this music will be enjoyed
my many people.
All of the compositions are originals by the participating musicians,
who perform with their respective ensembles.
