ERIC JACOBSON'S 2nd ALBUM

Donation protected

Hello Family, Friends, and Music Supporters!
Announcement
I am thrilled to announce that I am embarking on my highly anticipated second album, called "Heading Home" under the record label Origin Records on October 29th at the Transient Sound Recording studio located in Chicago. I was overwhelmed by the reception and accolades my first album DISCOVER received. Position #60 in the "world" thru the Jazz Charts. The Discover album will be up for consideration for the Grammys this year! This would have never happened without the support from you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Paying it forward!
I would like to express my deep commitment to a long-term goal that goes beyond recording and releasing the albums. I aspire to bring the power of music into school systems, sharing my knowledge and teaching students. It's a cause that I wholeheartedly believe in, and I am determined to make it a reality. This is how it started for me, I was in 5th grade, listening to a professional trumpeter play in our class and it truly was inspiring!
My first album, provided me with the incredible opportunity to visit various schools and educate students through teaching and performances. With the release of my second album, I anticipate that this journey will continue, enabling me to further uplift and inspire young minds.



The Project
My 2nd Album Heading Home will feature eight of my original tunes. These songs hold a deep personal meaning to me and reflect the sense of family that I cherish. Each song is inspired by specific memories from different stages of my life, making this recording project even more special. The band will be the same world-class musicians as the first album, which truly make my music come to life Geof Bradfield, Bruce Barth, Dennis Carrol, George Fludas and yours truly Eric Jacobson.



Why I need help
If you're not aware, as a musician recording your music, the majority of the expenses are typically covered by the musician, even if you have the support of a record label. The production of high-quality albums with world-class musicians can be quite costly. Expenses include paying the musicians- $3000., studio rental and recording $ 1000, mixing and mastering the recordings $ 1000, as well as the production of CDs for distribution to radio stations- $ 3500. These costs can accumulate rapidly!

Asking for help has always been a challenge for me, but as my mom used to say, it never hurts to ask! I would be deeply honored and tremendously grateful for any contributions you can make to help me achieve my goal of recording my second album. Your support would mean the world to me, and I sincerely thank you in advance for considering it.
Lastly, Why I do this!
Making music and playing the trumpet is truly my life's passion, It is hard to believe, but I have been playing the trumpet for 40+ years. I firmly believe that it serves a purpose in life, which is to bring happiness to people. Moreover, teaching my own children to follow their hearts and pursue what brings them joy in life is of utmost importance to me. I encourage them to strive for excellence and give their best in everything they do.

Thank you
Eric Jacobson
