Hurricane Sandy Victims To Receive Donation From Singer/Songwriter
Anthony
For Immediate Release
FREEHOLD, N.J./EWORLDWIRE/Dec 17, 2012 --- Anthony, songwriter,
solo male vocal artist,and native of the Jersey Shore town, Monmouth Beach, will
donate net proceeds from his newly released album, "From the HIP" to both Save
the Children and Habitat for Humanity, organizations at the forefront of
assisting victims of Hurricane Sandy.
"I spent several days helping my
father, who lives in Monmouth Beach, clean up from the destruction of the storm.
His basement was totally submerged, as was four feet of the first floor - he was
one of the luckier ones," said Anthony. "Each day I drove to his home, I
witnessed unimaginable devastation, not only to my hometown but to those in
surrounding areas. This is simply my small contribution to helping people get
their lives back in order."
Anthony's jazz album contains his new
material and was performed by local musicians, some living in the hardest hit
towns. "The musicians who played on the CD will be glad to know that their
talents will now go beyond their musical contributions and will be a source for
helping fellow residents," stated Anthony.
The resumes of the musicians
on the album include backgrounds that have played for such notables as Frank
Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Stan Getz, Les Paul, Lionel Hampton Big Band, Olivia
Newton-John, as well as with Broadway productions.
As for Anthony's
vocals, Marc Myers, founder of JazzWax, journalist and contributor to the Wall
Street Journal, wrote crisply, "Dig the voice."
"Buyers of 'From the
HIP' will be reminded of their assistance to victims of Sandy each time they
play the music," added Anthony.
Anthony's interest in jazz began at an
early age but only recently became an area of emphasis in his songwriting. His
distinctive style is founded on the traditions that created the great American
songbook, a genre that is the repertoire of many jazz vocalists and musicians;
his current work is attracting positive reviews from the jazz community.
An entrepreneur by nature, Anthony is involved in several businesses and
nonprofit ventures.
