Missing – Jazz with Meaning is dedicated to Child Find Saskatchewan, which provides programs and services to raise awareness of missing children and seek their safe return.
Nelson recorded Missing last year in New York with some prominent names in jazz: Javon Jackson, Ian Froman, Jon Davis and Gianluca Renzi.
Missing will be launched on May 7th at Child Find’s 9th annual Green Ribbon Dinner in Saskatoon. The CD will be available for sale to the public after May 7th at McNally Robinson Booksellers. A total of $8 from each CD sold at McNally Robinson will go directly to Child Find Saskatchewan (in May, Child Find will receive $10 from each CD sold).
Nelson will perform songs from Missing and sign copies of the CD at a special event at McNally Robinson in Saskatoon, on May 21st at 8 p.m.
Thousands of children are reported missing each year in Canada. While many cases unfold without incident, all have the potential for risk. Awareness and education are the most effective ways of reducing that risk.
Saskatchewan residents can show their support by purchasing a CD, and by wearing a Green Ribbon of Hope during the month of May.
The Green Ribbon is a national symbol that originated at Holy Cross Secondary School in St. Catharines, Ont. following the 1992 abduction and murder of a student there.
Green Ribbons will be available for sale at McNally Robinson, and at the customer service kiosks in Market Mall and the Mall at Lawson Heights.
Tickets are also still available for this year’s Green Ribbon Dinner, which takes place at the Sheraton Cavalier on May 7th. The event begins with a wine tasting at 6:30 p.m., followed by dining, a live auction and entertainment. The Master of Ceremonies will be Steve Chisholm, Program Director of Magic 98.3. Tickets are $125 each or $1,000 for a corporate table of eight. This year’s major sponsor is Assante/Regency Advisory Corporation.
