SINGAPORE: Singapore's jazz community got together for a good cause on Sunday evening.

Top jazz artistes and musicians performed at Harry's Bar at Boat Quay to raise funds for fellow jazz musician Michael Stanton, who was recently diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer.

Mr Stanton, who is now hospitalised, needs between S$15,000 and S$20,000 for his hospital bill and his trip back to the United States.

He arrived on the Singapore jazz scene some ten years ago.

The artistes at the Concert of Life included Alemay Fernandez, The Jackson Twinz and Friends, as well as a host of Singapore artists and musicians.

Entrance fee to the concert was a minimum donation of S$30.
