John Jaszcz aids in the Haiti relief! When Kirk Franklin coordinated a benefit production for earthquake relief in Haiti, Yosh readily joined in process. He mixed the song "Are You Listening: A Love Song For Haiti" after Kirk Franklin solicited the artistry of several gospel greats to perform. The band, donating their time during Stellar Awards weekend, laid a killer track that was then sung over by an incredible list of vocalists: Marvin Winans, Mary Mary, Smokie Norful, Marvin Sapp, Bebe and Cece Winans, Shirley Caesar, Jeremy Camp, and Natalie Grant, just to name a few.
