BackStoppers benefit CD now on sale

A new CD featuring a number of St. Louis jazz artists is now on sale, with proceeds benefitting the BackStoppers. From the press release:

"A who’s who of St. Louis musical artists has come together on CD to benefit the BackStoppers, the non-profit organization that provides needed support and financial assistance to the spouses and children of all local and county police officers, firefighters, publicly-funded paramedics and EMTs and volunteer fire protection units, who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

Someone to Watch Over Me: The BackStoppers Project, features recordings by Anita Rosamond, Denise Thimes, Ralph Butler, Jeanne Trevor, Peanuts Whalum, Mardra and Reggie Thomas, Jim Manley, the Tom Kennedy Trio and Mark Christopher. All the musicians generously donated the use of their recordings, and graphic design and engineering of the recording were donated as well. Financial support from corporate sponsors Commercial Bank and Henges Interiors covered CD duplication and song licensing costs, enabling more proceeds from CD sales to go to the BackStoppers.

The CD will be available at all area Borders stores, Webster Records, Euclid Records and at www.backstoppers.org the week of November 12. The CD will also be on sale at the Guns and Hoses BackStoppers benefit on Wednesday, November 21 at ScottTrade Center.
