02.11.09 - We received this letter of thanks from The New Orleans Musicians' Assistance Foundation for our donation from the proceeds of our CD single, New Orleans
Will Rise Again. To date, we have raised over $1,000 U.S. and I expect to be able to send another $100 within the next year to them. While these contributions may seem small when compared to the fundraising efforts in the States, Canadians have contributed all of this money, one CD at a time. Listen
to a clip of the song.
New Orleans
Will Rise Again, written by Kent Bowman, arranged by Kent Bowman
and Jake Fowell was written as a statement for the courage of those who
suffered the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Musicians and their families
are suffering, and 80% of all profits from this new tune, generated through
radio, TV and CD sales, will be sent to
The New Orleans
Musician's Clinic
c/o The Foundation for the LSUHSC
2020 Gravier Street, Room 729
New Orleans, Louisiana 70112
To buy the
CD for $5, please contact
us. The York Jazz Ensemble thanks you for any contribution you can
make to this worthy cause and for your support of live music.
