Steve Swell's Nation of We

[Lazaro Vega]

Hi Lazaro,

I hope this finds you well.

I will have a release on Cadence Jazz Records of my large ensemble Nation Of We this coming Fall, 2011. Its a live performance of a concert done at Roulette.

I just launched a Kickstarter site to raise some money to pay the musicians as the label will release and distribute but not pay the musicians. The CD sounds absolutely great. The playing and sound quality for a live gig is really good. Please take a moment to check out the below link. There is a 5 minute video with sound clips from the gig that will be released and incentives if you would like to support the project.

If we do not make the goal we get nothing, but the CD will still be released.

Here's the link:

We have 18 days to raise $3,000.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best wishes,

Steve

P.S.................If you know someone who might be interested in supporting our project could you please forward this to them. Thank you.

Steve a great guy and a totally committed, passionate musician. I'll check it out.

I do find it interesting that this "kick-starter" method of raising funds is starting to proliferate.
