Our inspiration, encouragement, influence and strengths very often come from the people we surround ourselves with - who we connect with, and who help make us who we are. Music is such a powerful force that can connect friends, an audience, encapsulate a moment, trigger a memory - it unites the world with its universal language. When we bring together the right people for a project, our creative strengths and thoughts get pleasantly pushed further and further and we all shine. When you bring your best, you become a strength and an inspiration to all around you. This is exactly what happened when Jackson Browne, Jenny Lewis, Jonathan Wilson, Paul Beaubrun and friends went to Haiti to collaborate on the World Music album Let the Rhythm Lead: Haiti Song Summit, Vol. 1, with the proceeds benefiting Artists For Peace And Justice and the Artists Institute of Jacmel, Haiti.
