Did you ever wonder how to multiply dollar bills without going to jail? Well here is your chance!Recording dates are close – June 20-22 – and it’s a real honor to be able to support the Basically Baker 2: The Big Band Music of David Baker project and see it become reality. The Buselli-Wallarab Orchestra has assembled some of the finest musicians to contribute towards the David Baker Scholarship fund and keep the legacy of education, high standards, and generosity going for generations to come. Find the listings of musicians and select repertoire below as well as some links to classic performances. The campaign has an exciting news update: An anonymous donor has announced to match every dollar pledged towards the current Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign before it closes on June 12. That means that one dollar contributed becomes two dollars and of course once the music will be sold each of these contributions will multiply towards the scholarship fund and young musicians who will study the music and continue the legacy for years to come. That is a truly priceless impact for preordering the recording now or claiming any other campaign level – one click away until June 12!
