Jay Bennett died one year ago today. His family has established The Jay Bennett Foundation (also on Facebook) to support music and education that launches today. Fans can download the album Jay was working on at the time of his death for free with donations accepted that will support the foundation and one of its partner charities. The album, Kicking at the Perfumed Air, will also be released commercially on July 10 with a portion of those proceeds also going to the foundation.
