Rare Jazz Compilation Helps JFA’s Musicians’ Emergency Fund

Twenty years ago this fall, visionary jazz producer, record label owner, and Jazz Foundation of America honorary founders board member Hank O’Neal compiled a special charity album to promote and support the JFA’s Musicians’ Emergency Fund. Combing his archive of more than 200 jazz album productions, Hank selected 16 favorite pieces for the limited-edition “One Good Turn” CD – which included rare cuts from legendary players like Lionel Hampton, Gerry Mulligan, Joe Williams, Mary Lou Williams, Milt Hinton, Clark Terry, and a never-before pairing of Dizzy Gillespie & Buddy Rich.

Through a special partnership between 32 Bar Blues, The Jazz Foundation of America, and Hank’s Chiaroscuro Records, we’re thrilled to offer the 20th Anniversary Re-Release of “One Good Turn” on compact disc. 100% of the profits we receive from its sale – along with all the items in our special JFA online section – will go directly to the JFA’s Musicians’ Emergency Fund.


Since its formation in 1989, the nonprofit Jazz Foundation of America has provided compassionate assistance to thousands of lifelong jazz, blues and roots musicians in times of need. Through recent seismic shifts in the music industry, extreme weather events across the country, and a devastating pandemic, the JFA’s work has never been more urgent.
