Senseless gun violence plagues our inner city neighborhoods with no regard for the lives of the innocent. Fires, floods, tornadoes, continually test us &#8211; our hope and faith are daily diminished.

This musical ensemble will join legendary jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis for a multi-city tour of the Abyssinian Mass.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cGod Bless America\u201d release is one of several projects from Le Chateau Earl Records. In June, the label will release, <em>Spiritual Sketches<\/em>, another eagerly awaited project featuring the lead single \u201cAll Night, All Day\u201d by Sneed and world-renowned tenor Lawrence Brownlee.
