[Down Beat magazine] recognized Jimmy Greene as one of “25 Young Rising Stars in Jazz. Greene’s debut recording for Mack Avenue, “Beautiful Life,” is a celebration of the life of his 6-year-old daughter, Ana Márquez-Greene, whose life was tragically taken on Dec. 14, 2012, at Sandy Hook Elementary School. He fulfills that mandate with an intense, cohesive, genre-spanning program, juxtaposing the hardcore instrumental jazz for which he is best known with traditional spirituals, contemporary Christian music, standard ballads and three original songs framing his own lyrics.
Also performing: Dominick Farinacci and Gregory Generet!
