Guitarist Jas Miller turns to crowd-funding to aid in releasing second half of CD


Jazz guitarist Jas Miller is yet another musician who has turned to crowd-funding to help raise money for completing the production of his CD called "That's Just Fan Funking Tastic"

The CD's title may be a tongue-twister but the music contained in the first completed phase of the compilation are fluid and smooth, perfect coolants for your summer days and nights.

Some of the musicians that performed on the first phase included Paul Brown, Philippe Saissee, Marco Basci, the late Ricky Lawson, Rocco Ventrella, Gianni Vancini, Nate Harasim, Elan Trotman and Michael Paulo to name a few.

Phase one of the gets off to a great start with hard-hitters such as the refreshing and sun-kissed "Coco Giallo" to the soothing and breezy "Just Now."  "Isola Di Chill" transports you to a tropical beach where you are framed with palm trees and awash with the cool island breeze, while "Reiki" and "Wiggle Room" can get you out on the dance floor with your significant other in tow. We can't forget"Cheaper by the Dozen", a track that is so funky that you would want to finger-snap along to Jas' nifty guitar work.

As a contributor to this project, you will be helping Jas to complete the second half of the CD. There are lots of perks that you can receive when you fund this project. You can get free downloads of Part One and /or Two of the CD and autographed print versions of the CD as well. The downloads start as low as $1 and moves up to $100.

For $50, you will not only get an autographed CD, but a digital mp3 version of the CD will sent you you as well with a collectible mix not found anywhere! Jas has also included six radio edits and a chance to have your name mentioned on his website with this perk package.

Additionally, there is a $100 package that will give you a chance to have private lessons with Jas as well as downloads to the CD. Of course there is flexi-funding where you can donate any amount that you like to the cause.

To give to this cause, you can visit Jas' Indiegogo page for more information.
