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

He wrote the words, and sometimes the music, for more than 1,500 songs, among them "Skylark," "Blues in the Night" and "Moon River." He had a few hits himself on Capitol Records — which he started. He was a great American lyricist, and today marks the 100th anniversary of his birth.Mayer Hawthorne: Not Your Typical Soul Singer

But a Chinese rock band taking the stage in New York? That's new.A Rock Royal Finds Himself In The Digital Age

For Moore, Internet culture doesn't mean replacing music experience so much as reconfiguring it.Remembering George Russell: Composer, Theorist, 'Ezz-Thetician'
Everyone could have Miles and Trane and Bill Evans. But Russell, the behind-the-scenes theorist caught in the middle of one of jazz's most fertile periods, and largely overlooked for that reason, became one of my heroes.© 2009 Created by THE GLOBAL JAZZ NETWORK on Ning.
