Contrast by The Youth Jazz Ensemble of DuPage
Family and Friends of YJED - We have dropped the price of the 2018-19 album from $7 to FREE and individual tracks from $1 to FREE. This is so students who are considering auditioning for YJED membership have the opportunity to hear the types of charts the band plays, and the quality of the playing in a professional studio setting.
We encourage anyone who can to contribute $7 or more at the checkout (you will be prompted to "name your price") to help finish paying off the recording, mixing, and mastering bills for this album. Any funds collected in excess of the remaining bills will be used to start the fund for the 2019-20 album. If this test is successful, we will be able to continue to offer future albums for FREE.
With deep gratitude from the Youth Jazz Ensemble of DuPage
