About
Among his many other achievements, our good friend the brilliant saxophonist Ray Blue is a noted educator and also the founder and executive director of Cross-Cultural Connection, Inc. Cross Cultural Connection (CCC) is a nonprofit, 501 (c) 3 organization founded by Ray in 2005 with a mission to bring jazz performance, jazz education and jazz culture to the people of the Hudson Valley. CCC’s formula for success is to bring together the talents of first-call New York jazz musicians and jazz educators, with aspiring and avocational jazz players.
And we're honored to support Ray in this work by hosting our first fundraiser for CCC — all proceeds collected this evening will go directly to CCC and its incredibly vital work bringing culture directly to the community. Ray will perform with his trio featuring Jeff Barone on guitar and Dan Kostelnik on organ and special guests and ensembles will perform throughout the night....
