AND SO WE CARRY ON

And So We Carry On climbs to #4 this week on the national Jazz Week chart! Buy Now. A great review by Doug Simpson for Audiophile Audition just came in. 


"All during And So We Carry On Clifton Anderson reveals his musicality, his flowing and adaptable tone, his self-evident compatibility with fellow musicians and, most importantly, a shimmering mannerism which can inspire and cause a smile."

RADIO


This week I've been on radio promoting my CD. I was interviewed on KSJS 90.5 FM by Mike Schwartz (an ex trombonist from NYC). Needless to say we got along right from the start! 

Today I was on WGMC 90.1 FM out of Rochester, NY with my man Derrick Lucas. They took time out from their fund-drive to have me on. Check them out online and make a donation if you can. They do good work and need public support to maintain Jazz programming.

Tomorrow (Thursday 10/25)
I'll be on WFSK 88.1 FM with Sharon K. at 1:30 PM, eastern. This station is out of Nashville (Fisk Univ.)so tune in online if you can.

I could not have put the campaign together without the help of the knowledgeable Bret Primack, known to many as The Jazz Video Guy.

Bret has a tremendous understanding of the internet and has helped guide me through the development of the campaign as well as shooting, editing and posting many of the videos you see of me online. I'm grateful for his assistance.

NEW RELEASE

There are lots of exciting things going on over here to share with you. First, I have a new CD on the market entitled And So We Carry On (music for the people). It's out on the Indy label - Daywood Drive Records. This music is intended to help us get thru the challenges, hardships, negativities and struggles ever present in the times we are living in. I think you will find the music uplifting and empowering, and I hope it supports you through your experiences.

And So We Carry On consists of 9 tracks (6 originals and 3 standards) performed by 14 stellar artists in varied aggregations. 

You can check out the behind the scenes video on the making of the recording on YouTube:

The CD is moving with incredible speed on the radio. It's now at #12 on the US Jazz Week charts and upward bound in only it's 2nd week! Now that it's making it's way on radio I've started to dedicate my time to making sure it gets the attention it deserves by way of advertising.  


THE CAMPAIGN

I've launched an Indiegogo Campaign to raise funds to help support this cause. Please take a moment to check out the campaign at:

I hope you will take part in helping me market and promote this recording by contributing whatever you can to the campaign, and spreading the word about it to potential contributors you may know. 


NEW WEBSITE

I've got a new website almost completed where you can get some more insight about me and what I'm doing. It is a real upgrade from my last site, and has been developed by a great father & son team - Aubrey and Eldon Phillips.
Their company: Ahcarak Consulting LLC.

Check out:

THE TEAM

I've been fortunate to be able to assemble a great team of professionals that believe in what I'm doing and are commited to helping me make my career successful.

My manager Brian Mckenna of Mckenna Group Productions, my publicists Stephanie Brown and Davida Garr of the Stephanie Dawn Agency, and Mark Rini and Josh Ellman of the radio promotion company Groov Marketing are all on board.

There are other special folks working behind the scenes that I
will talk to you about in upcoming Blogs as well. I couldn't handle negotiating my way through this business without them.

I'm looking forward to getting out on the road with my group to promote this recording and I will be posting performance dates soon on my website. I hope to see you all at my shows.

That's about all for now. Thanks for your support and stay tuned for all the new developements that are on the way.
