Musician dad of girl killed in Newtown plans album

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) The musician father of a 6-year-old girl killed in the Newtown school shooting is preparing an album dedicated to her life.

While the world knows how Ana Grace Marquez-Greene died, jazz saxophonist Jimmy Greene wants the public to know how his daughter lived.

After Ana was killed in December 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School, her father found a homemade book on her desk titled ``Ana's flower book for Dad.'' The booked was filled with pages of flowers drawn in different colors and shapes.

The new record will include Ana singing the hymn ``Come Thou Almighty King'' with her brother playing on the piano. Greene sings about his hope to one day join her in Heaven.

He plans to play a few songs from the album at the Litchfield Jazz Festival on Sunday.
