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.Rudresh Mahanthappa On Piano Jazz
Mahanthappa brings an explosive blend of jazz and South Indian classical music to the studio.© 2013 Created by Jaijai Jackson.

Happy Chatting !!
The tunes are mostly originals (8 of them), with a couple of less hackneyed standards thrown in for the benefit of timorous radio DJs. The recording is of somewhat variable quality, due to balance issues (having to do with music stand and mike placement), but the music is of uniformly good quality. The CD was reviewed in The Jazzscene (Jazz Society of Oregon) and earned a 4-star rating. That review will be posted separately at a later time.
Some samples from the recording can be found at www.cdbaby.com/cd/lbatpa . CD Baby also has copies of this CD for sale. There will be a sequel to this CD making its appearance sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas (we'll be recording in October), that will be in electronic release only, at first. Stay tuned!
