- Airborne the proclaimed "Musical Peacemakers" of Contemporary Jazz
Trademark jazz sound of island passion and urban emotion. Musical Peacemakers - Listen for the Message - As Performing Artists, Recording Artists, Educators, and as Humanitarians the band’s quality of excellence and compassion has kept them on the road to success.
The New CD Winds of Change is coming out at an unsettled time in history. Wartime, a important election year, a world in turmoil, a bad economy, and people making decisions based on fear.
The title, compositions, and even the emotion of this new project show our concern on all these matters of global importance. We are musicians, but with deep humanitarian thoughts. We are not politicians, just a voice that they the politicians should be hearing. The world needs to change and we need to take action. But we must be unified first. We hope you enjoy our new music and that it helps in the cause to bring people together, so that change can be made. Our message is very simple, Learn to Love, Hold on to Hope, Dare to Dream, and Live in Peace. So Be Well, Be Happy, and really enjoy Life. But remember to Reach out your hand and ride the Winds of Change.
Winds of Change is our 6th CD on Tilt Records. Airborne has been graciously proclaimed as the “Musical Peacemakers” of Contemporary Jazz. Maybe because we are focusing our talents we have been blessed with in a harmonious atmosphere for change. We are trying to have our music transfigure a spirit of love and compassion for our fellow brothers and sisters. To echo a strong athemn to humanity that it is time to turn the page for the sake of our future generations.
The world is finally traveling on the winds of change. Many discoveries and efforts have been made to make us all aware of the dangers that peril our planet and its children. Many wonderful people have already dedicated their lives for this important change. But their deeds must have everyone’s support, help, and blessing.
Projects for Global Warming, Hunger, Natural Disasters, New Energy Resources, and Economical Distress have been created. All these concerns and factors have stressed our earth to its boiling point. The time is now for change and to take action seriously. Without prejudice we must all stand together to achieve peace and global unity to take on these most difficult tasks.
We must reach out our hands to the world. We can make this earth a better place to live. No matter what faith, race, color, or wealth you have. We are all children of this world. We must help save our planet and its children! I urge everyone to Reach out your hand and ride the Winds of Change!
"Airborne is a band with a mission… the multi-cultural contemporary jazz group from New England takes flight setting the objective on using their musical energies for calming an otherwise disruptive world.
What the world needs is more people who do what they love to do with purpose and confidence and because they love doing it... genuine and big- hearted….delightful, lively and filled with life… …joyful jazz"
Sandy Shore – www.smoothjazz.com
When listening to this stunning and graceful CD, you will notice that this ensemble plants musical "seeds of peace" and uses music to help make our dream of a better world come true. So, let yourself be guided by these "musical peacemakers. Turbulence is a great musical achievement.
Akbar Nour – www.smoothjazznow.com
Airborne are back with their fifth CD release ‘Turbulence’. It retains much of the excellence that grabbed attention the last time around and widens horizons to demonstrate huge empathy with the music of many cultures. In fact the entire collection is a rollercoaster ride of moods and emotions, writing credits and the superb vocals are at the core of all its best moments.
Totally typical of what Airborne do best, produce tracks of genuine substance. Tight, edgy and spliced with wonderful backing vocals, everything that Airborne represents. A vibe that is uniquely Airborne, fresh and eclectic, ‘Turbulence’ is well worth discovering.
Denis Poole – www.smoothjazztherapy.com
Airborne’s fifth album, Turbulence meets all your expectations of what you imagine an eminent jazz album would be like. Airborne have produced an album that is a portrait of jazz music’s charms and supple movements making music that is idealistic and proofed for party mixers. Turbulence gives jazz music a very good feel.
Susan Frances – www.jazzreview.com
Airborne is the type of group and Turbulence is the type of recording that represents what I love about contemporary jazz – it’s like unwrapping an unexpected gift and discovering, for the first time, something you like but didn’t know existed.
It never ceases to amaze and at the same time perplex me – the sheer talent and
originality of these jazz artists. This is good stuff - check it out!
John Luciano – www.contemporaryjazz.com
This crew is in flight & they are dynamic!
Exquisitely from New Haven, CT., This crew releases their 5th CD of choice to the Contemporary Jazz Crowd with a little Urban flair in the mix. It reflects on a societal note of worldwide news & differences to the matter of heart & soul. The music in jazz from these players connects the dots to what you hear in the environment today. Especially to those seeking reminisce to the original Contemporary jazz game & the music it speaks for!
For jazz artists such as them, their true testimony may ride into their consistency & passion for music in this project. The overall feel! It speaks loudly throughout the CD & yes… It’s Recommended! - Terrill J. Hanna - www.theurbanmusicscene.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

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.

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
