As an added value I will be donating three dollars for every CD complete digital download: $1 to https://onetreeplanted.org/, which is an environmental non-profit committed to reforesting the planet, to try and avert catastrophic climate change. (They committed to planting 20 million trees by 2020 and are about to accomplish that, and they are a wonderful nonprofit.) $1 to support the ongoing efforts to keep Ted’s works available to all who want to study what he taught, and I will also donate to The Musicares Covid-19 Musicians Relief Fund, www.grammy.com/musicares/donations
“This project is funded in part by the Pathways To Jazz grant, a donor advised fund of the Boulder County Arts Alliance”.
