A Once-in-a-Lifetime Lineup Salutes the Blues Renowned artists across multiple music genres and generations took to the stage at Radio City Music Hall on February 7, 2003, to celebrate their common heritage and passion —– the blues. From roots to rock, jazz to rap, musical greats and special surprise guests joined forces for a once-in-a-lifetime “Salute to the Blues” benefit concert honoring the musicians and style that have inspired countless artists around the world. Net concert proceeds benefited The Blues Music Foundation, a non-profit, international organization dedicated to the preservation of blues history, the celebration of blues excellence, support of music education (particularly the blues), and the provision of financial assistance to needy and worthy individuals who have made contributions to the blues. A film of the concert, directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) and executive produced by Martin Scorsese, is being prepared for release later this year.
