Great jazz for a great cause!
Yesterday was a beautiful day in Gainesville Florida, with spring in full swing and happy people everywhere. As bright and sunny as the day was, Jamie Ousley brought his trio to B'nai Israel to partake in the Interfaith Power & Light Environmental Fair and made the day even better. And the company of SAMM and Ben Champion was the the icing on the cake.
Jamie's latest CD release, A Sea of Voices, was dedicated to the mission of Interfaith Power & Light and is an excellent musical representation of the beauty of life. I defer to Edward Blanco who wrote a review of the CD for further words on Jamie and the CD: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=41138#.UX7wVaLU8uc
Here is another excellent review from a pro: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=42255#.UX7wU6LU8uc
All proceeds from this day's sales of the CD went to the organization. The CD is available HERE.
