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

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.Roc Raida: A Grandmaster Gone
In the last few months, DJ AM died of an apparent drug overdose, while a heart attack took the life of New York radio pioneer Mr. Magic. But the least publicized in a tragic and eerily timed trilogy of DJ deaths was that of Anthony Williams, better known as Grandmaster Roc Raida.R&B Singer Monica 'Still Standing' After Tragedy, Struggles
R&B songstress Monica made a strong debut as a teenager in 1995 with the album Ms. Thang. But the Atlanta-born singer's life and career took a devastating turn after she witnessed her boyfriend commit suicide with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Monica is staging a comeback with a new life and a new album. The Grammy-award winning singer talks to host Michel Martin about motherhood, faith, music and her new reality TV show "Still Standing."Rocky Mountain Activist Carole King
Carole King's Tapestry has become one of the biggest selling albums of all time. Now, the singer-songwriter is focused on environmental activism, and is working to push Congress to pass a bill to help the Northern Rockies.Bach's Best 'Brandenburg' Concertos
Subtle and brilliant at the same time, J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos are a microcosm of Baroque music. They contain an astonishingly vast sample of that era's emotional universe.Lissie Maurus: Songs For Solitude
Shifting from upbeat tunes to soft-spoken country, hints of '60s soul and subtle pop, Maurus' sweet and rustic voice ties each track together seamlessly. Hear two songs from her upcoming debut EP, Why You Runnin', on World Cafe: Next.Andy Williams: Memoirs Of Moon River
His career is filled with highs — radio and television stardom — and lows — scraping by on dog food and obscure gigs in seedy nightclubs. Upon the release of a new book, the great entertainer speaks on all seven decades of his life in show business.© 2009 Created by THE GLOBAL JAZZ NETWORK on Ning. Create Your Own Social Network
