From California with Love
ALL PROCEEDS GO TO JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE-TSUNAMI RELIEF
Sinatra Society of Japan - SSJ Records, 2011

"From California With Love is a wonderful charity CD born out of love. Responding to the earthquake/tsunami disaster which struck Japan in March 2011, jazz musicians and singers who had been associated with SSJ Records of Japan came together to help and send a positive musical message to their friends."
Hajime Sato, EASTWIND IMPORT   READ FULL REVIEW

Rare is the American jazz artist whose career hasn't been expanded, extended or otherwise enriched by Japanese fans. Now, more than a dozen West Coast performers are reciprocating with From California With Love. ...Singer/guitarist Hubka, accompanied by Dan Sawyer on ukulele, contributes a shimmering Sweet Happy Life."
