On Sunday, April 17, 2011 over a dozen leading jazz artists will join forces in the Salon at Rue 57 to present a benefit concert to support recovery efforts in Japan. “The scale and magnitude of this tragedy is hard to fathom,” says Charles Carlini, the event’s organizer. “ I felt I had to do something to help.”
The lineup includes feature performances by Joe Lovano, Sonny Fortune, Lauren Kinhan (New York Voices), Harry Allen, Clifton Anderson, Allan Harris, Don Byron, Janis Siegel (Manhattan Transfer), Antonio Hart, Tony Middleton, Bob Mover, Steve Williams, Eddie Gomez, Sarah Hayes, and Louis Hayes among many others. All proceeds from the event will go to Direct Relief International’s Japanese Relief and Recovery Fund to benefit victims of the earthquake and tsunami that hit near Sendai on March 11.
