A great moment during the recording sessions of Friends And Family was the performance by David Fathead Newman. In this tribute you will get a glimpse of Fathead recording his solo on I Wish You Love. David passed away but his memory lives on. He was a very special person, friend and talented musician. We thought we would share this tribute with all of his fans.
To hear the completed track please visit our Jukebox, click on Friends And Family and then on I Wish You Love. You can listen to this very special performance by the one and only David Fathead Newman with Dionne Warwick and Ray Brown Jr. We hope you will enjoy it and you can purchase a download or the song or full album. The album is also available at your favorite retailer. |

SRI Entertainment has reluctantly announced the cancellation of the Friends and Family Celebrate Ella's Birthday tribute concert April 25 in New Orleans at Generations Hall. The event's goal was to raise money for America’s Wetland Foundation. Citing the withdrawal of its primary sponsor, the label said it had been placed “in the unenviable position” of having to pull the plug on the event as well as the companion free concert in Heritage Park scheduled for April 24 featuring Ray Brown, Jr. and an all-star cast of singers and musicians. We understand that the economic climate makes it difficult for corporations to express their charitable instincts, but we can’t find fault with anyone because we don’t walk in their shoes. This literally comes out of the blue. We’re shocked. It’s a terrible disappointment for us, the artists, crew, our associates in New Orleans and everyone in state and city government who have been so gracious with their time and energy in trying to make this work.
Shelly Liebowitz, President of SRI Despite this setback, we intend to go forward with our plans to work with New Orleans creative community developing several projects already underway. New Orleans has, and always will be, an iconic cultural center and is committed to doing everything we can to benefit the city and its residents. Refunds for tickets purchased will be available through www.brownpapertickets.com. |
