You can contact him directly at david@davidruttenberg.com ABOUT THE CD: SUNSET KEY Sunset Key features fourteen original compositions ranging from contemporary jazz to fusion along with some Latin grooves to spice things up a bit. There's also great cover of Elton John's "Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me" and - best of all - an amazing guest performance on the title track featuring Russ Freeman of The Rippingtons. Sunset Key is dedicated to the spirit and lasting memory of the artist's cousin Margaux Grossman. Many of the compositions worthy of her inspiration appear on this CD and are available online. These songs are more than an attempt to capture her beauty and unique outlook on life; rather, they represent a higher level of communication by and between cousins. How You Can Make A Difference... All of the profits generated from the sale, broadcast and performance of these recordings will be donated to the Margaux's Miracle Foundation, a not for profit corporation, established to provide and publish the results of research seeking to test and improve upon complementary treatments for cancer patients.
