First of all thanks Moonie for pointing me to this network. I want this to be a space for sharing ideas, many of which I'll post here and select others will be posted on the site:
http://jazzipedia.com -- Jazzipedia is a work in progress!
I've been fortunate enough to have made friend's with Joe Pass, Ella Fitzgerald, Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Wright, Chieli Minucci, Milt Jackson, Jack Wilkens, Mike Stern and Leni Stern. I love jazz and especially love the singers and guitarists.
Please take a look at my friend Wayne Wright's page. Wayne was the man responsible for getting Les Paul out of retirement. He played for Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, George Barnes, Judy Garland and a host of others.

Another person certainly worth mentioning is the late great Eddie Durham, who had his hand in many thing.

The Passing of Wayne Wright
Wayne Wright passed away yesterday. This man that played for so many great musicians such as Tony Bennett, Peggy Lee, Les Paul, Judy Garland and George Barnes, to name a few, was everyone's friend. He was one very special person.
I posted a few blogs on him on my website, which convey the character that Wayne was. The blog I posted today was not an easy one. But it definitely is a tribute to him. Please take a look:

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
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.© 2009 Created by THE GLOBAL JAZZ NETWORK on Ning. Create Your Own Social Network

I added a blog in the last few days and unfortunately today I have to add one about the passing of one of my best friends, Wayne Wright. This guy played with Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, George Barnes and was responsible for getting Les Paul out of retirement many years ago.
Hope to talk to you soon.
I just visited Jazzipedia.com and it's a great site. I'm looking forward to seeing more from it and visiting it often. I really liked the history on Art Tatum and Duke.
Thank you for your kind words and I hope to have the pleasure of hearing and perhaps performing with you.
Take care and keep in touch. I promise to spread the word about Jazzipedia.com.

Yes, 71 this month, working on #2 I hope this year (last time took nearly 8 years, ugh). Thanks so much for your warm words. They are appreciated enormously. I went to your site but can't tell is that your own site? It looks like it's simply for sales via Amazon, am I missing the point? I just signed up for Amazon (which I guess means B&N also). This is a new world for me, trying to figure it out as I go along.
Best,
Elli
