- Tell us a little about your background...
- I've done lead and BG vocals for a few Jazz/Gospel artists. I've been known to suprise audiences with a performance. lol! My late mother (who was extremely talented) played piano by ear. The day that she discovered that I could play by ear as well, she began working with me to develop the gift on an even greater level. In 1992 I learned to read music under the instructions of thee "Craig Te Erquhart" owner of "My Heart" records & "Erkborn" recording studios in Southfield, MI where I also learned to produce and write. I also learned how to add higher ranges to my vocal abilities I didn't even know I had. I dream of music more than I actually play.
I've always enjoyed performing at our local Jazz Venues, there's some what of a different type of love and respect for the art on a local level. Maybe it has to do with the closeness and the constant flow of possitive energy. I also thrive at doing background vocals, I enjoy being 1 part of the 2, 3 or 4 part harmony.
I love Art of any kind ie anything one can use individual creativity at doing. I am very fortunate to have many gifts. It takes special skills to be able to juggle them all (effectively). One gift simply lends a hand to the others on eaches quest for success.

My Tribute to the late, the beautiful and oh so talented "Phyllis Hyman"
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!!

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.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.© 2013 Created by Jaijai Jackson.
