CHRISTMAS IN SOLIDARITY on World Jazz

Jazz for a cause to support. Why not? Jazzfriends for Emergency is all here, but goes further. On the one hand, the CD is a snapshot of Jazzfriends Festival which takes place five years in that of Porto Potenza Piceno, a town in central Italy on the Adriatic coast.

Second, this publication aims to raise funds pro-Emergency, the non-governmental association founded in 1994 that aims the care and relief to victims of war and landmines. Not only that: the work of dozens of volunteers is also designed to cope with serious consequences in health care in countries where armed conflicts are ongoing.

That's why, the many artists who have long appeared on the stages of the festival have decided to offer their performances to the cause of the association which has among its volunteers, Gino Strada. (Michele Chisena)
