Charito we are all very excited that you'll be performing in Atlanta in May. I have your CD playing right now, "Nica's Dream" the title is a long time favorite of mine and you rendition is thrilling. TJN is so fortunately to have such gifted musicians and singers from around the world. Attending the Altanta Jazz festival this year will be an even bigger treat, can't wait to say hello.

For those of you out there who have not heard Maria Howell, go to her page and 'get a listen' she will blow you away! I urge festival promoters, club owners, entertainment directors to book this very talented woman, you'll be glad you did. She will most definitely be on my concerts presenting the talent from the JAZZ NETWORK!

My best,
Jaijai

Just returned from International Jazz Festival of Port-au-Prince. That's right, Haiti has a jazz festival, and was the 2nd edition. Maybe no "big names" were there, but it was really a festival of the people, with nine collaborating embassies sponsoring a group from their countries. Naturally, you had local and diaspora Haitian musicians playing also. The eight day event included nightly concerts in a outdoor courtyard seating 1,000 and three open-air gigs in larger/park venues.
Additionally there were after concert jam sessions so visiting musicians could mix it up in a jazz club restaurant atmosphere. Visiting musicians also conducted music workshops to teenage/young adult music students at three music schools. Concerts were also broadcast live on TV.
As one young man told me when I asked if he liked jazz, "Compas is #1, the music of my country. Jazz is #2."

I will perform for the first time with Bernard Linnette's group at the 31st Annual Atlanta Jazz Festival, May 24 26, 2008 in Woodruff Park in Atlanta, Georgia.

The move to Woodruff Park is a great happening as it affords the opportunity to celebrate Atlanta and all of its rich culture. This years festival will feature Atlanta based jazz artists during the 31 days in May and will culminate with family fun and music in Woodruff Park. The Atlanta Jazz Festival is regarded as one of the Country's largest free jazz festivals. http://eclectic-solutions.com/atlmusic/artistpro.html

As some of you might know Norway is a country of Jazz festivals. I will especially promote Moldejazz and Kongsberg Jazz Festival.
If you want more information go to my webpage:

Look around for Jazz Festivals in Norway (it's on the right hand side of the page) and you will find the links to Norwegian Festivals.

Hi, I am setting my calendar for the next 12 months. As we know, festival bookings are handled well in advance. I´d like to know about festivals in the U.S., Europe and Australia. Can anyone put me on to the contact persons for any of the festivals?

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!!

Rudresh Mahanthappa On Piano Jazz

Mahanthappa brings an explosive blend of jazz and South Indian classical music to the studio.

Grady Tate On Piano Jazz

Grady Tate began his jazz career as a much-celebrated drummer, backing such icons as Wes Montgomery, Ella Fitzgerald, and Quincy Jones. Tate has since traded in his skins for a microphone at center stage, where he delivers smooth and soulful baritone vocals. With pianist John di Martino, Tate sings "Everybody Loves My Baby" and "Where Do You Start."

Woody Herman At 100: 'A Blues Player From His Heart'

He was a soulful reedman, an amazing talent scout for decades and a bandleader of one of the country's most popular acts. Born in 1913, Herman led "Thundering Herds" that were both big draws and well-respected by the likes of Igor Stravinsky. Here are five recordings which still sound fresh today.

Edmar Castañeda And Friends On JazzSet

Hear passionate improvisation across borders on Colombian harp, Argentinian bandoneón, Venezuelan cuatro and vibes from the U.S. In a set with Castañeda, his trio and special guests perform at the Americas Society in New York.

Miguel Zenón Quartet: Live At The Village Vanguard

Ever since he started becoming one of the best alto saxophone players in the world, Zenón has drawn from his upbringing in Puerto Rico. But, like many Puerto Ricans, Zenón lives in New York — where his quartet of 10 years has finally been invited to play the Vanguard. It presents new music in concert.
