about

All proceeds from the album directly benefit the El Sistema Aeolian Youth Program of London, Ontario. El Sistema provides a free, intensive music program to over 100 students each year. Participants play in an orchestra, sing in a choir and learn valuable social skills.

When producer, Clark Bryan purchased Aeolian Hall in 2004, he had a dream to bring music into the lives of young people by inviting them to work with world-class performers who understand the power of mentoring & community. Clark is proud to call renowned vocalist Matt Alber a member of the family of artists dedicated to collaborating with these bright young stars.

How High The Moon is a new tribute album specially produced to support El Sistema Aeolian. It pays homage to two American jazz legends, Mel Tormé and Russell Garcia and features The Prime Time Big Band. Each moment you hear was recorded live on stage as a full ensemble at The Aeolian.
