Hi, my name is Barry. I research the jazz scene in Japan where, without any exaggeration, the jazz scene is HUGE. Over the following 8-weeks there are 8 different festivals happening in the Kansai area alone. I will be uploading some videos over the coming weeks. Check-out my page.

Maybe you can help. I am looking for conversations with jazz lovers, artists, supporters, etc. who want to be and make the difference as "Jazz Stars" in Abu Dhabi (Capitol of UAE) in being the first to inaugurate "Its All About Jazz Festival" in the UAE in 2009, and beyond. I am scheduled to returned to the UAE in April for further business conversations. Individuals may email me ASAP with their conversations at wali@tdgroupglobal.com. Continue to be and live your great adventures. I am thanking you in advance for your assistance and support.

Member Quotes About TGJN

Hi Tamm E!

I was just saying that you knocked this out of the park with TGJN. We have needed something like this for so long and I am telling my friends about this. I said that it is sort of like a myspace for jazz but it is actually so much more. This is real. The people here truly love jazz and we know people like that are not your average people.

I have felt for a long time that straight-ahead jazz has been slipping away from us. I have hope now that there will be a resurgence (or shall I say an insurgency:-) to bring this baby back full force!

You just knocked it out of the park. Thanks again.

xoxo,
Janie

Hafez Nazeri: From Iran, Music Beyond Politics

On Nov. 14, Hafez Nazeri will headline at Carnegie Hall. The young Iranian musician has been attracting attention for "Sounds of Peace," an East-meets-West program inspired by a progressive political vision. Or is it?

Between Albums, Rivers Cuomo Digs Up Solo Work

Since Weezer's debut in 1994, the band has released six more albums, gone through a re-organization, and earned a devoted following. Their new album is called Raditude. Last year, Rivers Cuomo, Weezer's lead singer, guitarist and principal songwriter, released two solo CDs of songs that didn't make it onto the band's albums.

Interview: Thurston Moore Of Sonic Youth

Thurston Moore is a musician who, aside from being in the legendary band Sonic Youth, has collaborated with everyone from Glenn Branca to Lydia Lunch to Mike Watt. For Moore, Internet culture doesn't mean replacing music experience so much as reconfiguring it.

Swagger Like Us: Thoughts on Women in Music, 2000-09

At the end of the '90s, I got excited when I realized that young girls no longer needed to hang out with creepy record-collector guys in order to find out about cool music. Information was out there for everyone to access equally via the Internet. Knowledge about obscure records could no longer be hoarded and used as power.

Music Of Late Musician Explores Haitian Culture

The late Alan Lomax brings the sound of Haiti to life. Recordings that Lomax made decades ago are now being released as a 10- disc box set, along with a journal and other artifacts from his trip to Haiti. Host Michel Martin speaks with Gage Averill, an ethnomusicologist and a professor of at the University of Toronto. Averill was the project's curator and is joined by Ellen Harold, Alan Lomax's niece who also worked on the project.

A Life Of Craft Beer And Free Jazz

Some people know Bruno Johnson as the proprietor of the well-respected out-jazz record label Okka Disk. Others know him as the owner of the Palm Tavern and the Sugar Maple in Milwaukee, Wis. Talk about your jazz bars.

Quiet Anguish In Elgar's Cello Concerto

The concerto was the English composer's last major work for orchestra, as well as his most confessional. In this recording, cellist Jacqueline Du Pre gives one of her finest performances, exposing both gentleness in the pain and an edge to the tenderness.

Doveman: Soft-Spoken But Upbeat

With the release of the 2005's The Acrobat, 2007's With My Left Hand I Raise the Dead and an album in which he covers the soundtrack to the '80s movie Footloose, Thomas Bartlett established Doveman as a true sleeper. His third album of original material with Doveman, The Conformist, is a testament to his soft-spoken style. This time around, though, he adds flourishes of upbeat synths, drums and catchy choruses.

New Music From Long-Dead People

In 'What's in a Song,' our occasional series from the Western Folklife Center, we learn of one man's quest to channel the music of the Aztecs and Mayans through new compositions that combine inspiration with scholarly research.

A Raelette On Ray Charles

As a backup singer, Angela Workman was one of Weekend Edition host Liane Hansen's first music interviews. For Hansen's 20th anniversary show, Workman spoke about the legacy of Ray Charles, and what she's been up to since.

Music For Sting's Favorite Season

For the former Police frontman, the winter months are a time for imagination and reflection. His new album, If on a Winter's Night, takes traditional songs from his native British Isles as its starting point. Here, he performs one of them and speaks with Scott Simon.

Out Of Paul Simon's Shadow, A Son Rises

With the help of legendary Nashville session musicians and a little paternal assistance from Paul Simon, Harper Simon has just released his solo debut. But don't be fooled by his pedigree: The younger musician has his own sound.

New York City Opera Rises From Turmoil

A longtime scrappy alternative to the plush Metropolitan Opera, City Opera struggles to make a comeback with a new general manager, a renovated theater and a shorter but smarter season of operas.

Weird Al's Ode To The Trashmen

According to Weird Al, not only were The Trashmen arguably the best surf band ever to come out of Minneapolis, but with their 1964 hit "Surfin' Bird," they distilled rock music to its essence.

Are We Eavesdropping On Rihanna And Chris Brown?

Back in February, Rihanna and her boyfriend, fellow pop star Chris Brown, got into an altercation as they were heading to perform at the Grammy Awards. In late August, he was sentenced to five years' probation for felony assault. Today, it might be possible to pick up on how Brown and Rihanna are doing via their music.
