If TJNW were to merchandise tee shirts, sweatshirts and caps at a modest price, the money raised could be put towards a worthy cause. Also members could recognize each other at jazz festivals and other events around the world.

that,s a very good idee.
You know that is in the works a portion could go to a cause that helps musicians, similar to the compilation CD's being considered....possibly we could come up with a few different designs by some of the members?? :-)

Hello everyone, I join this group because I draw musicians - as you might know - and I have hundreds of pictures. I will print one of my drawings and my name on a T-shirt to show my profession - and I have the copyright of my drawings.......
If you are interested in my contact, answer me............
Swinging greetings, Ingrid Müller-Marx
Jaijai..how are we doing on the JN design for caps, tees, etc?
Update, please.
I will start something if no one else does. But, wanna know where we're at before taking that on.

Ron,

I'm on it, give me a little time please.

thanks,
Jaijai
Jaijai....on your time sweetheart. When you are ready.
Ron
Thanks d***. The idea dawned on me after I'd thought I had recognized a musician at a festival I was photographing. So I proceeded to introduce myself. Immediately after I guessed the connection might be TJNW, our conversation was on the same wave length. Believe me, it's always good to have a friend (or "family member") nearby when you're trying to work at a venue where nobody knows you.
Now had I been wearing my trusty TJNW baseball cap, that musician and probably five or ten others would probably have approached me and made my assignment alot easier.
Jaijai, if you're out there... "Wear" could we take this?

I'm here...and I'm listening...I'm on it. I feel you, T-shirts and baseball caps coming up!!
Great idea....and get instantly recognized by the "TJN" friends around the world too....let's go for it....how can I help...b
Now this is what I'm talkin' about. Putting together something we can all be a part of. Thanks Jaijai for keeping it in the family. I'll send messages to my artist TJNW friends who may not be aware of the suggestion box.
I'm all for T-shirts and caps. Jazz Network identity would be a great asset. Go for it, Jaijai.
I can imagine wearing it at all the jazz events and getting other folks in conversation about what this 'family' is all about. Can't wait.

Hi Leon well this is a splendid idea. TJNW has so much talent to offer here. I see there's one person whom has offered her artistic drawings of artist. I know there are more here as well. I think if the design was done with a water color effect. Of a few of the Jazz greats whom have paved the way for artist doing their thing now would be fabulous. Plus surely to recognize the JNW family it would be nice to have a symbol of a saxaphone with the letters TJNW on the caps and at the top of the t-shirts too. With the founder name JaiJai Johnson directly below that. Gold or white lettering always stands out really well. The colors on the t-shirts should be vibrant very vibrant too. Thats just a little something that came to mind. I'm sure there will be more and the donation is a sensational contribution to keep Jazz alive. I will also pray for the success of this project.

The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Duke Ellington: Highlights Of His Twilight

The great composer and bandleader was distraught over the 1967 death of Billy Strayhorn, his songwriting and arranging partner of 28 years. But Ellington took Strayhorn's passing as an impetus, born of necessity, to increase his own productivity. Here are five examples.

Chris Potter Quartet On JazzSet

At the Village Vanguard, one flight down from the hubbub of New York City, in a tight space packed with people, we're about to embark on a musical odyssey by sea. Our captain is saxophonist Chris Potter, who's launching his Odyssey-inspired album The Sirens.

Pat Metheny And John Zorn: A Vivid Sound World

The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.

Sarah Vaughan: A New Box Set Revels In Glorious Imperfections

Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.
