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

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.

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

of America that has spanned the Globe and made a difference
in humanity to join us here at TGJN.
Where ever you can place a TGJN link or mention in an interview

Our purpose is to broaden the awareness of the music and
all that it influences i.e. art/literature and more. However, we
need your help, assistance and support to make it happen.
We believe Jazz deserves world wide recognition and that the
people who perpetuate the validity of the music deserve exposure
and recognition. BUT! the only way is if each one brings one
can we share the diversity and soul of the form.
PLEASE! take a little time and send a E-Blast to your mail
list and invite your friends and assocaites to help us broaden
our membership.
Thanks

I know it has been too long since I stopped by, how are you?
Nantambu 1 and 2 are absolutely AWESOME. The slide show above gives it such a beautiful context. I am listening to it and it sounds so wonderful this morning as the sun rises over the eastern sky that faces me as I am at my laptop. I may have to make this my morning ritual!
You are amazing. Take care.
Janie
Best,

You have an absolutely beautiful page here, very rich and full. What a jazz pedigree you have! And of course January is the perfect time to join us out here in L.A. I invite you to stop by my personal blog whenever you get a moment at chez-janie.blogspot.com. I would love to hear any thoughts or comments you care to share. And we will definitely stay in touch! Best wishes, Janie
It was a blessing to have heard from you, as well as to become acquainted with your many talents. It was very interesting to have read your bio, while enjoying those very nice photos. I recall the first time the Temptations came to the Apollo, they had not made a recording, thus, did the Impressions songs, but the local DJ's pumped them until they became very well known.
In addition, I shall pray continously for your complete recovery from your surgery. If you would drop a note to me and let me know when you are playing, I'll try to come to see you.
Tamm E. Hunt is simply AWESOME! I love her as my sister also. Therefore, WELCOME to the family.
Please stay in touch.
Peace & Blessings

Yes I talked with Billy and he told his Mom rose above all danger. It's a wonderful blessing!
You too remain prominent in my prayers.
Hello to Becky & the family.
