I guess a more accurate description would be that I enjoy most music but appreciate the presence and creation of all authentic music in the world. You can see some proof of this statement in my article/interview with British musician Don Dean if you click the Examiner button below.

Comment by Joseph E. Johnson Jr. on June 14, 2009 at 6:27pm - I feel you Marta, I'm sure if i did hear Transylvania music, i would appreciate it, send me some please...As to America not being that old, the jazz influence (roots, branches, trees) originated from the Africans from Africa...Is that old enough?...Even then that should not take away from any culture, after all we are all human.

Comment by BeBe Kelly-Serrato on May 26, 2009 at 5:21pm - To this I add my personal favorites are Opera, when I was younger, I migrated from Opera to Rock, then Opera rock, Broadway, Musicals, classical, and now after my 30's...I've settled into Classical Jazz. I think it's a true pure form of expression. I absolutely love it...I don't think it's something you find...I think Jazz finds you.

- Yes, all music is expressive and provides a message. There are tones which are however aggressive and sour to the ear and too loud and can cause damage to the vocal instrument. For these tones I suggest to all listeners to apply attenuation and protection for their ears. There are musicians ear plugs, although expensive, necessary to protect our ears and vocals chords from the high and pounding deep base tones which shake and oscillate the little hairs in our ears until they are gone, thus causing permanent hearing loss. This is when I must make a stand against music which damages and artist from no longer being able to create beautiful music.

On the subject of America's only true art form please check out Amiri Baraka's (formerly LeRoi Jones) BRAND NEW BOOK just released in early May called:
Digging: The Afro-American Soul of American Classical Music
I just ordered it and my copy arrived today. Just glancing through it looks great. There are also a few photos of Mr. Baraka hanging out with various jazz greats. I already own Blues People, written in 1963. It is a masterpiece and should be a no-brainer to have in any Jazz lover's library.
And please, everyone take note and give thanks that Amiri Baraka will be celebrating his 75th birthday this October. There is a big celebration being planned for him.
Digging and Blues People are both available on Amazon.com.

Member Quotes About TGJN
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

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 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
