LOS ANGELES, May 6, 2020 (Newswire.com) - The music industry, like many others, is reeling from the coronavirus pandemic. As uncertainly has grown, renowned composer Imre Czomba was inspired to create something inspiring and uplifting. Calling on his home-bound friends, he urged them to take part in a quarantined worldwide jam session, the results are incredible! Watch: https://youtu.be/iRd5LMJhcK4
Within hours of Czomba's first calls, the Quarantine Music Chain #QuarantineMusicChain ignited - attracting attention from international music sensations around the world including Michael O'Neill (Barbra Streisand Band, George Benson), Alphonso Johnson (Weather Report, Santana), Ed Calle (Gloria Estefan, Michael Bolton), Andrew Kestler (Accent), Richie Garcia (Phil Collins Band), and Sophie Cairo (La Bouche).
"I started with the first four bars of music, which my composer friends continued as a chain reaction, creating their own four bars. Musicians and singers added the melodies - all from their own homes. We all felt the need to create something beautiful in the eye of this darkness," said Imre Czomba.
Now, one month later, Czomba's extraordinary production is ready. Czomba shares, "we give it as a gift to the world, from the musicians of the world."
Musicians, singers, and composers from (16) nations, including the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Canada, Japan, China, Egypt, Norway, France, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, Russia, Israel, and Italy contributed to the Quarantine Music Chain.
As the chain grew, so did the musical stars including Grammy-winning Jazz saxophonist Kenny G; Grammy winner Michael Lehmann Boddicker (Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Quincy Jones, We Are The World); Global Music Award-winning composer Stefano Sacchi, and Adonis Tsilimpari (NCIS: Los Angeles; CSI: NY); plus Hungarian stars including Fecó Balázs, Gyula Papp, Opera Singer Erika Miklósa, Kornél Horváth, and Zoltán Lantos.
