Thomas Rotter displays his soulful versatility as an instrumentalist and as a composer on this debut album. It features 10 beautiful original compositions by Thomas. The tunes seem to have special qualities: two songs from album, "Rainsong" and "No way out", were several weeks among the "Top Ten Jazz compositions" on the composers platform "sibeliusmusic" in 2000.

The just released CD includes some special guests from Brazil: one of the most busy brazilian drummers; André "Limao" Queiroz from Belo Horizonte, who worked with top musicians like Toninho Horta or Maria Schneider, and, last but not least, Cléber Alves on tenor-and sopranosaxes.

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!

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.
