Song For Amy is Mike Caruso's first CD. It was recorded in August and October of  2007 and features New England based Jazz musicians Molly Flannery on Piano, Daryl Lowery on Saxophone, Mike Connors on Drums, John Funkhouser on Bass and Mike Caruso on Bass and Guitar. On the CD, there are 9 original compositions that represent the last 2 decades of musical endeavors. About one half of the music was composed prior to 2006 and the rest composed while recovering from a Bone Marrow Transplant to help fight Leukemia in early 2007.

The idea behind recording the CD was to accomplish something I always wanted to do and to document my music for my children and family. Selling the CD and performing the music in public is all about raising money for Bone Marrow Transplant Patient Care and Research. Back in January with the help of the software company I work for ( Cadence Design Systems ) we raised $2700 in donations that went to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society Funds that we are raising through local CD sales and Fundraising concerts ( we are up to $1800 ) will go to the Bone Marrow Clinic at Mass General Hospital, which is where I was treated in 2006. Their research benefits the entire Blood Cancer Community and they treat patients from all around the world.

Please join me in supporting this great cause.
