“New Amsterdam Jazz has made possible one of my dreams as an artist. To bring my project and music to Jazz at the Lincoln Center and record an album there would have been impossible without their help. Besides the funds NAJ granted me with, they have been key in finding other funds which would make the whole project feasible. I will always be grateful to them!”
