Hello Friends and Supporters,

Delfeayo Marsalis has invited the newly formed HSRA (High School for Recording Arts) Jazz Combo to perform a couple of songs during his “Tribute to Louis Armstrong” performance this Thursday, April 17th at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis. The concert is scheduled to begin at 7:30PM.

Chantel and Shelby (vocals), Corey (piano), Versie (drums), Jamal (bass) and Bishop and Lost Causz (hype men), along with their Walker West colleagues are honored to be on the same stage and program as the great Mr. Marsalis and the all star group he has assembled to give tribute to the great jazz legend, Louis Armstrong. Prior to the performance, preeminent jazz historian Phil Schaap, curator of Jazz at Lincoln Center, will conduct a lecture and Q & A.

Please join us on this special evening. We hope to see all of our friends and supporters at this event.

State Farm Insurance and The Fo-Show in conjunction with Another Level Records is proud to announce their latest CD release, “Click 4 Life”. “Click 4 Life” is a project about teen driving safety & seat belt use. This project was created to make more teens aware of the dangers they face not wearing seat belts & to promote the movement to pass a primary seat belt law in the state of Minnesota. “Click 4 Life” is a milestone for Another Level Records because it is the first project to feature music from both HSRA Minnesota & HSRA Los Angeles.

Minnesota has been a breeding ground for phenomenal musicians. From the relatively unknown to international superstars, the Land of 10,000 Lakes is also the Land of 10,000 great musical acts!
