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

A Rock Royal Finds Himself In The Digital Age
His father was a Beatle, but Dhani Harrison wanted a musical project that didn't carry the burden of his family name. So he started a band called thenewno2, where he's created a sound and a promotional strategy that is all his own.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?Marin Alsop's Shared Musical Roots
The Baltimore Symphony conductor chooses a season of music built on the belief that understanding where we come from, and celebrating diversity, can create a sense of continuity, history and belonging — not to mention some great concerts.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

For the former Police frontman, the winter months are a time for imagination and reflection.

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

Or you may be able to contact. Not sure.
I don't do the coding and IT work.
Other than that hello to you and Linda.
All the best!

Airborne the Musical Peacemakers of Contemporary Jazz "Winds of Change" Video www.airbornejazz.com
I have this movie in my home as I write this, a rental from Netflix and I will probably end up buying it. It is more complex in telling the story about Jazz than perhaps most realize...particularly when one looks at the ending. I could write a dissertation on that movie! I even learned the title song and have been singing it for my friends with pretty good reviews! ;-)
Now I am going to comb through the movie once again so I can see your friend Don Hill. When you see Mr. Hill again, please give him my best regards.
Janie
Thanks for the friend request. I really am enjoying your page, you have a very rich history. How great you composed a tune for Mr. Sinatra and I have to tell you this story: Long ago when I first became an attorney back in Chicago I was heading to Las Vegas for the very first time for an ABA conference (I believe the year was 1990) when on the plane I suddenly had a strange thought. I thought to myself that the ONLY person I wanted to see in concert in Vegas was Frank Sinatra. I don't know why I thought that because at that point I didn't own one Sinatra record nor did I know if or when he might be playing in Vegas.
Anyhow, I was checking in at Bally's and when I saw a big sign that said...you guessed it...Sinatra was appearing there.
Seeing Sinatra live and in such a great venue will forever be a cherished memory...and I even had a front table! I had to be one of the youngest people in the audience and I was screaming like a Beatles fan from the '60s. I credit that experience for reigniting my passion for Jazz.
Best to you and it is great to have you as a Global Jazz Network friend.
Janie
When you have a minute, maybe take a peek at our new video clip. Nice footage of Hamp and Frank Foster.
Best,
Ron
Long time no connect.
Joy, Love, Life & JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
