Grammy Award winner Najee donates his Saxophone to Jazz artist Reggie Hines

Grammy Award winner Najee donates his Saxophone to Jazz artist Reggie Hines



PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 9, 2010


ATLANTA, GA – Two time Grammy Award winner and founder of Smooth Jazz, musician Najee donates his own Saxophone to renown Jazz artist Reggie Hines. As soon as Najee landed in JFK yesterday, from his tour in Europe, he learned via text, about the demise of saxophonic player Reggie Hines’ missing horns. Mr. Hines’, who has previously performed with Najee, two saxophones came up missing after a recent gig in Atlanta. This sour note quickly turned into a melody when Najee called and offered Hines his very own saxophone for replacement. One final piece was short in this perfect score; the instrument had to be picked up in Orlando where Najee resides. Chountelle Bullock, a member of his marketing staff, was contacted by Hines’ manager Clifton Camp of MarketingCamp, LLC, and she flew to Orlando and back…the final score!
Thanks Najee.

REGGIE HINES RE-RELEASE OF "LIVE YOUR LIFE"

July 9, 2010



Friends & Fans of Reggie Hines, Saxophonist and Musical Maestro:

MarketingCamp, LLC, which has signed new client Mr. Reggie Hines. They signed Mr. Hines to fulfill the dream of marketing quality music for the world to enjoy. Reggie’s focus is on Neo-Jazz/Positive music and is presently in negotiation for distribution.

New Yorker, Reggie Hines was born to captivate the world with the multitude of talents he possesses. Instrumentalist, Songwriter, Producer, and Composer; He is a multi-faceted talent playing guitar, piano, bass, EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument) and of course, the saxophone.

Music is his mistress, a true lover of the art Salsa, Meringue, Jazz, and Funk. Writing for Gerald Alston (The Manhattans), Regina Belle; Hines musicology breached the music industry when he masterminded “The Prime of My Life” album for the late songstress, Phyllis Hyman. “I Can’t Take It Anymore” and “When You Get Right Down To It”, attained Grammy nominations for best R&B song of the year. Hines was honored with an ASCAP Award for his skilled musical composition. Nationally, Mr. Hines appeared on ‘The Regis and Kelly Show’, ‘The David Letterman Show’, ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’, ‘Tom Joyner’s Sky Show and Cruise’ and 'VH1 2010 Hip Hop Honors'.

After touring the world in a multitude of music festivals, Hines released the 2009 chart topping CD, “Live Your Life”, the return to his musical roots, infusing multiple music genres with Jazz. With his recent return from the 2010 Harlem Nights Japan Tour, he continues to 'live'.

MarketingCamp’s Neo- Jazz artist, Reggie Hines is an award winning musician. If you’ve listened to traditional Jazz music in the past few years, you may be familiar, as he has released 2 albums and sold more than 8,000 copies combined.

Reggie describes his styling as “life music” choosing to surpass traditional jazz boundaries. Aptly, he has named his CD “Live Your Life”. On July 29, 2010, MarketingCamp, LLC, will re-release Reggie Hines’ album debut entitled “Live Your Life”. Very similar to the motion picture industry, your opening week’s numbers are very important. As an independent record label/artist, it is difficult to have the major big box retailers like Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and to fill their store’s limited shelve space with anything other than the normal big name artists. Thus, in order for the label/artist to make a real impact, they must sell a large number of copies on their own before the records reach the stores. This is called pre-sales and helps to demonstrate the demand to the big box retailers.

Accordingly, I am asking all my friends and associates rather than asking me to get them a free copy, to support this endeavor by pre-ordering the CD for the low cost of Ten Dollars ($10) and we pay the shipping costs. I know I am asking you to buy a CD that you might have not heard, but MarketingCamp proclaims “Reggie has truly made a quality recording that has a little of something for everyone”. Further, if you purchase the album and after listening to it, decide it’s just not your cup of tea, give it away as a gift to someone you think might enjoy it. Remember it was only $10. Also, for those who can afford to buy more than one copy, please do so and give the extra copies to those less fortunate. There is probably a family member, someone in your church or neighborhood who would love to receive the CD and you won’t have to worry about it containing any profane messages. Click HERE to purchase.

Finally, here is your moment to help make history. The single from the CD is entitled “Live Your Life” is currently in the top 40 on the Jazz and Urban radio airplay charts. Call your favorite radio station and request the song. If you’d like to find out more about Reggie Hines and the project, please join him on Facebook.

If I can count on you to pre-order a copy, kindly reply to this note or visit: MarketingCamp.
