SORRY WE ARE SOLD OUT!!

Jazzway proudly presents the John Lamkin 3rd Quartet with special guest saxophonist Jimmy Greene – featuring songs from Mr. Green’s CD, “Beautiful Life”, a celebration of the life of his 6-year-old daughter, Ana Márquez-Greene, whose life was tragically taken, along with 19 other children and 6 educators, on December 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. The album garnered two Grammy® nominations: one for Best Jazz Instrumental Album and the other for Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals for Greene's arrangement of his composition "When I Come Home," featuring vocalist Javier Colon.

"I want the music to reflect the way that Ana lived…this album attempts to paint the picture of how she lived — lovingly, faithfully and joyfully.”  Greene says.

“And so it is that this is the most important jazz record of the year. It speaks to the breadth of human emotion, from deepest sadness to greatest joy, in the context of what we all aim to achieve -- a connection to the spirit that gives us the courage to forge on in this fragile, temporal life.” Michael Verity - jazz.about.com
