Jazz For Haiti: David Clayton-Thomas In The Studio
[SinglePic not found]Number 9 was very pleased to have David Clayton-Thomas in the studio last week to record vocals for our Jazz For Haiti charity album! David is a Canadian Juno and Grammy award-winning musician and singer, best known as the lead vocalist for the band, Blood, Sweat & Tears.
His wonderfully distinct voice will be heard on “Where Did They Go?”, a track recorded specifically for the Jazz For Haiti album.
David is just one among a group of world-class artists who have banded together for this extremely worthwhile international cause. Other artists include (in no particular order) Laila Biali, Larry Bodner, The Shuffle Demons, Jackie Richardson, Aaron Davis, Norm Amadio, Guido Basso, Reg Schwager, Andre Roy, DK Ibomeka, Gord Sheard, Luisito Orbegoso, Jane Bunett, Michael Shand & John McDermott and more.
The entire proceeds from the sales of the album created by these incredible artists – tentatively entitled “Jazz For Haiti” – will go towards the Red Cross’ Haiti Earthquake Appeal. To help maximize the revenue directed to the fund-raising effort, the studio and its staff have donated their time towards the production of the disc, and the artists have all donated their time and songwriting talents to the endeavour.
The album will be available via iTunes and regular retail channels this coming June, and will be decorated with wonderful artwork donated by Kurt Swinghammer.
“We’re proud of the quality of music produced with the album, but maybe more importantly, we’re proud of the heart that the musicians put into their music in order to help show how much we all care about our brothers and sisters in every corner of the world.”
-George Rondina, Managing Director
