- Tell us a little about your background...
- I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota and began my career in music at the age of 17. I was a lead singer in many of the areas local bands. In the 1980's I moved to Los Angeles and studied at the D*** Grove School of Music and worked many of LA's leading venues. I have performed with many of the world's top musicians including the Peter Duchin Big Band,the Peter Graves Orchestra, and musicians from The Manhattan Transfer, The Brian Setzer Band and the bands of Prince and Madonna, to name a few.
I have sung on many radio and TV commercials. I was featured on the CD "Ultrasound", by former Prince keyboardist Matt "Dr." Fink.
I have worked with internationally known vibraphonist, Bill Molenhof and toured with him as a clinician and a vocalist.
I completed my first CD "Daydreaming" A Tribute to Doris Day in 2004. The disc features songs from Doris' classic 1964 collaboration with pianist Andre Previn.
My diverse interests have taken me on a wide ranged musical journey....from Pop to Rock, Rhythm and Blues and Jazz.
Today I perform at clubs, concert halls and corporate events around the country.
My newest interest is vocal coaching which I truly love.

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!!

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

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.© 2013 Created by Jaijai Jackson.
