Jimmy Greene's message at Covenant: Love wins 
Jazz saxophonist spoke, shared music
For weeks after the death of his daughter, Ana, in the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary, Jimmy felt he was losing touch with who he was.
Finally, he was able to pick up his saxophone again. "Music helped to regulate me, emotionally," Jimmy told a packed audience Sunday in the Fellowship Hall. An offer from a record producer led him to make, Beautiful Life, dedicated to the memory of Ana. Jimmy played the song "Ana's Way" for listeners at Covenant. The family founded the Ana Grace Project, which promotes love, community and connection for every child. Click here to learn about Jimmy's work.
