Audrey Silver! Yes, let me say that name again! Ms. Audrey Silver, from New York City, is by far, the best new Jazz vocalist and song stylist I have heard in many years! This recording gets a definite Five (5) stars! It is absolutely the finest recording I have heard from ANY Jazz vocalist in some time! Ms. Silver has it all: A gorgeous vocal instrument, perfect pitch, impeccable phrasing and a well crafted simple yet swinging approach to scat singing, placed perfectly where it is needed and never overdone. This Jazz vocalist caresses the listener; She draws you in gently; with every note she sings with such heart and emotion; but she seems to do it effortlessly, weaving a loving spell in her superior interpretations of the American Songbook. She takes her time with every breath, every syllable and note she sings; her phrasing is like sheer silk, drawing the listener into a relaxed state of consciousness.

Audrey Silver has begun in earnest to make a name for herself in a number of fine New York City clubs and venues. She has studied with two legends of the fine art of Jazz singing: Mark Murphy and Sheila Jordan, two of our most heralded Jazz vocal treasures. With this recording Ms. Audrey Silver has entered a new Pantheon, a new exclusive club of Jazz greats! I can only humbly imagine what great vocal art she will contribute in the many years to come! For this listener, she defines the new "modern femininity", the new model for the art of the Jazz vocal. It is direct, relaxed, yet on the mark, delivered with real sophisticated poise and grace! All the tunes on this CD are great! The opening Track," The Song Is Ended", is a masterpiece, with it's hip arrangement of key changes placed in unexpected places! Her Pianist, Joe Barbato is a sensitive and excellent musician in his own right, a perfect foil and accompanist to Audrey!

Audrey Silver is destined for true greatness! A voice, surely coming from Jazz Heaven, here on earth!

Spotlighted Artistry.....

Since my feature in January and then the spotlight on my new song "You're A Liar", I seemed to have reached out to more people around the music world, simply through being here on these pages with an amazing response. My song 'Won't See Me For Dust' is special to me in a different way, in that it stretches back through the corridors of my life to a place and time now quite poignant for me. I hope you enjoy the song. I thank Jaijai for the endless support, encouragement and opportunity to be spotlighted here. To all my many friends at TJNW, I thank you for your support.

Russell Donald Freeman (May 28, 1926 in Chicago, Illinois – June 27, 2002 in Las Vegas, Nevada) was a bebop and cool jazz pianist and composer.

Freeman was initially classically trained, but later turned toward jazz of a largely bop style. His reputation as a jazz pianist grew in the 1940s when he did work with Art Pepper, Shorty Rogers, and Chet Baker. Among his best regarded work is his extensive collaboration with Shelly Manne, especially in the 1950s and 1960s.

In 1991, Mariah Carey wrote her own lyrics to Freeman's "The Wind" for her album Emotions. Freeman had written "The Wind" with original lyrics by Jerry Gladstone; it had been performed as an instrumental piece during the 1950s and 1960s by the likes of Chet Baker, Leo Wright, and Stan Getz, as well as sung by vocalist June Christy (on The Misty Miss Christy). Freeman's piano is featured on the 1954 recording of "The Wind," which has since become a jazz standard, for the album Chet Baker with Strings (also found on the CD Deep in a Dream: The Ultimate Chet Baker Collection where Freeman plays on seven cuts including another of his compositions, "Summer Sketch"). Freeman remained busy in music throughout his life, transitioning from jazz pianist to film scoring and composition before his death in Las Vegas in 2002.

Russ Freeman's originality stems both from a healthy respect and knowledge of tradition and a completely personal and intriguing manner of presenting his musical thoughts. The best way to describe Russ' music is to say that he is one of the very few improvisers whose every single note counts; take out any one and a definite gap would be felt in the musical entity of his performance. Russ is a member of an even smaller elite group, namely the jazz composers. When he picks up pencil and paper to put down an original, it is just that: not simply an interesting line built on familiar chord changes or comfortable progressions, but a real piece, original in mood, concept and harmony.

If all this tends to make Russ sound deadly serious, then let me hasten to correct that impression. His music is often filled with humor; a sardonic kind rather than the baggy-pants kind, but a very definite humor nevertheless. ~ Pete Welding



Critics have included Nathan Tanouye on their list of visionary jazz talents most likely to inspire a new generation of classical jazz fans. Through the years, Nathan has played trombone alongside esteemed artists such as Natalie Cole, Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett, The Temptations, Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bocelli, among others.

Since 1998, he has been principal trombonist in the Las Vegas Philharmonic. He’s also been featured on the famous Las Vegas Strip, playing in award-winning shows like The Producers, Hairspray, At the Copa and Storm. His inspired performances and ability to convey the essence of West Coast-style cool jazz brought the attention of Carolyn Freeman, widow of legendary jazz pianist Russ Freeman, who tapped Nathan to lead The Russ Freeman Project in 2004.

Carolyn had been searching for the perfect young musician to arrange Russ’ composition for a big band orchestra CD, and Nathan embraced the challenge with enthusiasm. Crossings: The Freeman Project (Peacock 2006) is the first critically-acclaimed CD to feature the music of Russ Freeman as interpreted by Nathan and the Las Vegas Jazz Connection.

Carolyn Freeman comments, “My husband always tried to give talented, younger musicians a break in the jazz business. I’m certain Russ would applaud Nathan’s creative arrangements and performances … he captures the Freeman spirit in a brilliant new way.”



For more information, please contact The Russ Freeman Project media manager at 702-869-5451 and at www.peacockent.com

It is such a joy to share our music with a whole new audience. I wanted to be sure that Russ' music would live on in a new contemporary sound. Nathan Tanouye and the Las Vegas Jazz Connection was created. Russ' bebop tunes are brought to you in big band form with a new sound that maintains the essence of his music but is relevant to the younger audience and musicians. This has truly been a journey of love and appreciation of Russ. I heard a composition by Nathan Tanouye at a concert and immediately knew that he was the one to do the job. He has gathered a group of his peers who are all first call players here in Las Vegas. They play Russ' music with energy and heart and I couldn't ask for more. Russ would be so inspired by these young musicians who have risen to the challenge of his music. We are now moving into honoring other musicians. I would like us to rise out of the "best kept secret in Las Vegas" mode. We are available for high-end concerts, Fundraisers and Jazz Festivals worldwide. Thank you to Jaijai for bringing me into her wonderful new world...

When I first learned about the Jazz Network I thought it was a fabulous idea.  The reality has more than lived up to my expectations.  I am constantly learning about new artists from all over the world who play many different styles of jazz.  I've made new friends, run into old friends and learned about new venues and ways to promote my career and new releases.  It has been such a friendly and welcoming experience that I was delighted to take advantage of this opportunity to be featured on the Network.  Thank you Jaijai and everyone who has chosen to participate in the Jazz Network!

Seldom do you meet a person who impresses you with both brilliance and kindness. Recently, I met such a person. Her name is Jaijai Jackson. I was drawn to her like a moth drawn to a flame. Her love of music is highly spiritual and her understanding of the business is remarkable. After many years in the music business, it is refreshing to meet someone like her.

Historians will research our arts to characterize our culture in the future. Contributions by those who tirelessly support our significant art forms will help to define us. Jaijai has become a key ingredient toward that future and her importance to the jazz world cannot be overstated.

Her devotion to the music and passion for keeping it alive makes our world a better place. Jaijai, thanks for being you.
