Recently featured on the iTunes music store, BFM Digital and SRI
Records announces Ray Brown Jr's new album, "Friends And Family". The
new CD is an all-star duets album with Ray joined by Dionne Warwick,
Jane Monheit, James Moody, Dr. John, Freda Payne, Melba Moore, David
"Fathead" Newman, Sophie B. Hawkins, Paul Williams, Maria Muldaur, Dr.
Lonnie Smith, Terry Gibbs, Sally Kellerman, Dave Somerville, Haylee
and Kim Hoyer. "Friends And Family" was produced by Shelly Liebowitz.

Born in New York City, Ray Brown Jr. was raised in a family of musical
royalty (the son of singer Ella Fitzgerald and legendary jazz bass
player Ray Brown). "Friends and Family" reflects the amazingly diverse
musical pedigree that Ray possesses.

Original and unconventional arrangements and song choices set the tone
and unique style of this release. Friends And Family shows a
completely different dimension of Ray Brown, Jr. with these artists
who have come together to create this historic album."

It also includes two very special tracks:

* Haylee (Ray's daughter) doing a duet with her Dad on Grandma's first
hit "A Tisket A Tasket"
* A live version of "How High The Moon" with Ray joining his mother
(Ella Fitzgerald) and father (Ray Brown).

"What pleased me the most was seeing the talent of Ray Brown Jr. hold
up so well with all these brilliant and different sounding artists. As
a result of his versatility and the unique arrangements of the songs,
we were able to capture a wide variety of flavors, which I think
offers something for everyone on this album," says producer Shelly
Liebowitz.

To honor our veterans, a portion of the proceeds from the download
sales of the duet by Ray Brown Jr. and Dr. Lonnie Smith on
"Everybody's Cryin' Mercy" will be donated to the National Veterans
Foundation.

The album will be available at all digital outlets via SRI's digital
distributor, BFM Digital.
