Thanks for Your Support!

Well, I'm sorry to report that our Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the first part of Sid's new record did not reach its goal. We are disappointed but not dissuaded! Sid and I are tremendously grateful to all of you who pledged your generous support and/or helped us get the word out.

Sid is scheduled to be in Asia for the first part of next year, but we will be resuming the effort upon his return and have a few surprises planned -- so stay tuned!

Once again we truly thank you all for your outpouring of support and positive vibes. Thanks for helping to keep great American music alive and we wish you all a safe and happy holiday season. -Phil Lewis

From the project site:

"Guitarist Sid Jacobs (http://www.sidjacobs.com) may just be the great unsung hero of jazz guitar...

• Eddie Harris declared him "brilliant in his approach to the guitar"
• Joe Diorio calls him "a great player and great educator"
• Don Heckman of the LA Times calls him a "highly articulate improviser... his improvisations unfold like a set of Bach variations."
• Howard Roberts says his books "belong at the head of the class"
• Brad Mehldau, Larry Goldings, Harold Land, Eddie Harris, Javon Jackson, and countless other jazz greats have added him to their lineups

So why haven't we heard more of Sid Jacobs?? We figure it's time to change that."
