"The CD is a remembrance celebration of Greene's 6-year-old daughter, Ana Márquez-Greene, who was among the 20 children and six educators killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, on December 14, 2012 ... Greene's album combines jazz with spirituals, contemporary Christian music and ballads, plus three original songs. The music was premiered in December at the Jazz Standard in New York City and also in Danbury, CT ... At the album's release, Greene said, "Music has a unique way of communicating and healing. I'm so thankful that music is my profession, that I am able to write and arrange to create settings that convey the emotions I experience, not the least of which is the pain that my family and I have endured at a time when words fail"".
Something else!

"Jimmy Greene is a jazz saxophonist and composer, and a gifted one at that; we knew this from the impressions his 2009 release Mission Statement had left us. The faith and spirituality he conveyed on that album got put to the test on that fateful day at Sandy Hook Elementary, but those things about him remain intact. Beautiful Life (out on November 25, 2014 via Mack Avenue Records) is his ultimate response to the tragedy, and he summons up both his skills as a musician and his strong inner spirit to make this record. He also summons a few of his notable friends, too".
