OZARK, Mo., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SLS International
(OTC:SITI) (BULLETIN BOARD: SITI) , the leading provider of high
quality sound systems for commercial, home entertainment,
professional and music markets, announced today that its sound
system was utilized by the 2005 JazzFest Heritage Music Weekend,
which recently celebrated its 24th anniversary recognizing the
musical talent of jazz and blues. The festival, presented by Jazz
Unites, Inc., took place at the South Shore Culture Club in
Chicago. Notable performances by jazz musicians Julia Huff,
Ernestine Anderson and Crosswind made the festival a huge success.
"We first heard about SLS Loudspeakers from a billboard featuring
Quincy Jones," commented Geraldine de Haas, president, founder and
CEO of Jazz Unites. "We felt it would be a great tie-in to use the
SLS units for JazzFest. I was absolutely spoiled by the SLS
speakers. The sound was incredible. They made the festival very
enjoyable and we look forward to working with them next year."
Since 1981, the Jazz Fest has brought America's classic and
singular musical art to audiences from across the nation in order
to help nurture jazz as a cultural expression of personal,
community, spiritual and economic importance. Jazz Unites continues
to showcase musical talent, assist young aspiring musicians, hold
workshops and produce affordable or free public concerts for its
predominantly African American audiences. Sponsors included Target,
Mercedes Benz and Walgreen's. "We were very excited to be a part of
this type of event," said Rod Falconer, national sales manager for
SLS Loudspeakers. "We provided the LS8800s and LS8115s, which were
a huge hit. The units provided full coverage without having to turn
the volume up too loud. This was a great event to be a part of."
