Cloning America is a collective ensemble with a purpose. Reed player Billy Drewes, keyboardist Gary Versace, bassist Scott Lee, and drummer Jeff Hirschfield unite to create a musical editorial of America’s social decline using the nation’s most important cultural contribution, jazz music. Their powerful, new Sunnyside recording, For Which It Stands (August 30, 2011), presents a program of original compositions, aural sentiments on the country and for what it should stand.
