New York, NY - In response to the national tragedy in New Orleans, Arts for Art, in collaboration with the Angel Orensanz Foundation has organized an all-star gala of jazz and creative music to benefit relief efforts.

Legends of the Jazz and Creative music scene have come together donating their time and talents to raise money for the artist, victims of the New Orleans tragedy.

We are pleased to include special performances from Kidd Jordan, and Clyde Kerr, musicians from the New Orleans area who were affected by the tragedy, but were lucky to make it out of the area safely. We invite all to come out, enjoy wonderful music and donate to an essential cause.

Many people have come together to donate their time, energy, and various resources to make this concert possible, from the musicians talents to the soundmans microphones to the piece of paper on which you are reading this announcement. All money raised will go to organizations that are helping the musicians and artists of New Orleans rebuild their lives.
