With jazz representing a mere 5% of music sales, you can imagine why it is overlooked. Grassroots efforts to teach jazz to school age children will ensure that the genre has future audiences.

I decided it was time to act, and made a formal complaint to Virgin Media in the UK about the lack of a Jazz genre in their music on demand service !

I'm with you Jaijai,
but it's not just Grammy's. I switch to my music on demand service on cable here in the UK (Virgin Media) and Jazz isn't even listed as a genre I can select from !. No wonder it's losing popularity.
Best Regards
Brian

Hi Jason, long time?
I would like to say I understand this is a business, it should be our business musicians of all stature to support one another with encouragement, working platforms and communication. Rewards should be for new creation and advancement of this music. I beleive that when we come to understand without this type of support we are only going backward as we have been because if we don't make heard and known what we do and who we are, it remains in the hands of record companies, managers, commercial agencies that only promote who they think and have made popular enhancing their futures. Jaijai, you have done wonders, and I thank you for your never ending love and work, but as musicians we have to step up to a higher spiritual plain and reach for more than material gain.

We can say that A Jazz Grammy is long over due, but time is what Jazz music is about. Is'nt it?
Keep up the good works Jai Jai.

I totally agree with you Ronnie. Things ain't what it used to be.
Too little work. Too many posers. Few get the depth of the art, or the value to the human spirit.

I understand...
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!!

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.© 2013 Created by Jaijai Jackson.
