- Blanchard has established himself as one of the most influential jazz musicians and film score masters of his generation, a member of a jazz legacy that has shaped the contours of modern jazz today. With more than 29 albums to his credit, as a musician Blanchard is a multi-Grammy Award winner and nominee, winning earlier this year for his instrumental solo for “Be-Bop” on Live At The 2007 Monterey Jazz Festival. In addition to receiving the award, Blanchard performed live on the telecast along with other New Orleans artists including Lil’ Wayne, Allen Toussaint and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, who were all joined on-stage by singer Robin Thicke. In 2008, Blanchard also won a Grammy for his CD, A Tale of God's Will (A Requiem for Katrina), a beautifully haunting and impassioned song cycle about Hurricane Katrina and the ravages incurred upon the City of New Orleans and its residents.
As a film composer, Blanchard has more than 50 scores to his credit and received a Golden Globe nomination for Spike Lee's “25th Hour.” In 2008 he completed the score for Lee's “Miracle at St. Anna,” as well as the soundtrack for Darnell Martin’s “Cadillac Records.” Other film music written by Blanchard includes Kasi Lemmons' “Eve's Bayou” and “Talk to Me,” Oprah Winfrey's “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” Tim Story's “Barbershop” and Ron Shelton's “Dark Blue.” He is currently working on the score for George Lucas’ “Red Tails” and has already completed musical contributions for the score on Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog,” set for release this fall.

SPOTLIGHTED ARTISTS AND BUSINESSES:
Hey Jaijai,
I would like to thank you for all you do to help keep this Art form alive. I'm honored to be featured in this segment and I hope that I can be a tool to assist you in what you are doing. The site is great, I've met some wonderful people and I'm looking forward to meeting many more. I hope I will see you at The Typhoon Resturant in Santa Monica when I'm there with Les Mc Cann.
Peace and love....KA
When I first learned about the Jazz Network I thought it was a fabulous idea. The reality has more than lived up to my expectations. I am constantly learning about new artists from all over the world who play many different styles of jazz. I've made new friends, run into old friends and learned about new venues and ways to promote my career and new releases. It has been such a friendly and welcoming experience that I was delighted to take advantage of this opportunity to be featured on the Network. Thank you Jaijai and everyone who has chosen to participate in the Jazz Network!

"Kudos to Jaijai for setting up a place where musicians can meet industry and vice versa. I'm excited about the possibilities as the network expands and I'm blessed to have made new friends and contacts. Keep them coming!"

Seldom do you meet a person who impresses you with both brilliance and kindness. Recently, I met such a person. Her name is Jaijai Jackson. I was drawn to her like a moth drawn to a flame. Her love of music is highly spiritual and her understanding of the business is remarkable. After many years in the music business, it is refreshing to meet someone like her.
Historians will research our arts to characterize our culture in the future. Contributions by those who tirelessly support our significant art forms will help to define us. Jaijai has become a key ingredient toward that future and her importance to the jazz world cannot be overstated.
Her devotion to the music and passion for keeping it alive makes our world a better place. Jaijai, thanks for being you.
