about

Seeing the extraordinary plight of the millions of refugees currently seeking asylum, John Aram has pulled together a team that includes many other musical heavyweights, to record a cover version of the song “Tomorrow (A Better You, a Better Me)” by jazz legend - and record 79-time Grammy Award nominee - Quincy Jones, which will be sold in aid of refugee charities.

With the personal blessing of Quincy Jones, the record features JACOB COLLIER, whom the UK’s The Guardian newspaper called “Jazz’s new messiah” and about whom Quincy Jones said “I have never in my life seen a talent like this… absolutely mind-blowing”, on lead vocals. Jacob is supported by American-Zambian Hip Hop artist ROOTWORDS and a backing choir composed of 90 students, aged 9-11 years old, from the three campuses of the International School of Geneva, under the musical direction of John Aram.

The record also features performances by many of the UK’s top session musicians, as well as celebrated jazz pianist Jason Rebello, who has played with the likes of Sting, Peter Gabriel, Joss Stone, Madeleine Peyroux and Manu Katche. Recalling the harrowing experiences many of the refugees have encountered in their homelands, the record also uses an innovative rhythm track composed of live gunfire.

The recording, has been mixed by award-winning engineer Yvan Bing (Coldplay, Billy Joel, Gwen Stefani), and is supported by a promotional video created by Ecolint student Joe Cook.

All proceeds raised by the sale of the recording will be donated to the UNHCR to help with their aid efforts.

By buying this track you will be helping the refugees. If you cannot afford the track, please stream and share as many times as you possibly can.

Please donate and enjoy the music.
