A new album, entitled Jazz for Japan, has been released on iTunes, with proceeds going to the International Red Cross in Japan in an effort to benefit Japan’s earthquake and tsunami victims.
The project, which was recorded in merely two days last week, features a who’s who of the jazz community, especially jazz bassists. Low-end contributors include Marcus Miller, Christian McBride, Alphonso Johnson, Nathan East, Rickey Minor, Chuck Berghofer and Del Atkins.
“This project came about after discussing the tragic aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan with my co-workers,” says producer Larry Robinson. “I told them that many of the American Jazz musicians tour Japan numerous times a year. It was at that moment the seeds of Jazz For Japan were born. Within 5 days we called all our Jazz friends and put together this truly amazing line up of musicians to record at Hollywood’s famous Capitol Recording Studio who all donated their time.”
