SPOTLIGHTED ARTISTS AND BUSINESSES:
TRIBUTE TO SAMMY NESTICO
THE BOB NOVAL ORCHESTRA
SHELLEY BURNS ~ ACCENTUATE
TRIBUTE TO JOHNNY MERCER
Jaijai, what a wonderful mission you've undertaken to create such a place for artistic minds to meet and share their hearts. A place to renew faded determinations, and revive lessened momentums. A place to display our wares and reconfirm to one another that we actually are on the right track.
I commend you, Jaijai, for caring so much that you created this castle of the heart for all of us. I want to share my praise for all of the new friends as well as old friends that I've met and will meet here in our castle. Here we can garnish the where-with-all, the strength, the conviction, and the selflessness through our symbiosis, to share our gift to the world with an unbiased agenda.
My mentor, Daisaku Ikeda says of art: "A beautiful flower delights and refreshes the hearts of all people equally, no matter what soil it grows in. That is the power of beauty. The same is true of great art. It is this spirit that the German poet Heinrich Heine sang of when he wrote that once the peapod bursts open, the sugar peas inside are for everyone to enjoy."
Let's be audacious, my friends!

- Tell us a little about your background...
- I am a great person and a dedicated musician. Received Downbeat magazine scholarship and attended Berklee College of music. Got a call from Gene Mcdaniels and went on to play with up coming star Roberta Flack. Spent many years playing behind various singers on the Essex lable. Then remained active on Broadway. I have done the following hit shows, Don't Bother me I can't cope, The rocky Horror Show, and Raisin, starring Virginia capers. Spent a year with the Negro ensemble Co.Worked the Fox theater in Philadelphia with Melvin Van peeble's Don't Play us cheap. I recorded on the Atlantic label with Harry Alexander and the Virgo label with Roy Ayers. Put considerable amount of time in the New York recording scene.You can also catch a glimpse of me in the hit movie 9 &1/2 weeks starring Micky Rourke. PS I had dredlocks. I have always taken time off to study. Therefore I have had breaks from the scene on occasion . Spent one year at the National Conservatory of Music in Mexico City studying the flute and conducting. I have studied with Maestro Alberto Socarras whom I might mention is my mentor. I have since had the opportunity to have studied with some fine players. Let me give a shout out to Bryce Sabastien, Hilliard Greene,Mike Pope,Santi Debriano and Tony Falanga. I am presently working on classical playing but maintaining the roots of jazz. I love working with singers and will always be available when needed. Last but not least I still put time into the electric bass and respect it as an instrument on it's own ground. I am a member of Local 802 so if you need me you know what to do. Peace.

Thanks for the reach out. Indeed a few people have already reached out to me. I am not sure that I've filled out my "about me" section properly though. I didn't do a big sell line or anything. I kept it basic, LOL! Hit me up, man. Peace.
The jazz scene is pretty limited in my immediate area. However, the Silvermine Inn in Norwalk, CT is very good. Every week there's a great group performing...either swing, fusion, brazillian, etc.
