This will certainly be the definitive source on improvisational jazz. A leader in the field, Berliner (ethnomusicology, Northwestern) covers all aspects of improvisation as art form, science, and way of life. Cutting no corners, he includes a vast range of article topics (from inspiration and arrangements to evaluation and audience interaction), music texts

How I feel about JaZZ
I believe that jazz is THE art form that found me. I love a great conversation and the improvisational ensembles that i have had the pleasure of performing with have been just that (but w/ instruments of course). Jazz is the art form that enables me to stretch my wings as far as i can and soar into a blissful "soundscape". There have been purely magical experiences when performing --this feeling i am constantly striving for. Though not always achieved, when i get there , it's sheer heaven (man , i live for that).

Now this is one of my fist jazz cd's and i remember the feeling when i purchased it at a used cd store like it was yesterday. I have to tell you i fell in love with this record all over again.

Larry Slezak said… - Thanks for adding me on here! I'd like to introduce myself. I'm a jazz saxophone player -- Been one all my life. Started playing gigs in New York City when I was 15 years old. Now I live in Houston, and I released my debut album last year. I'd played on lots of other artists' albums, but I was always more focused on live performances for myself. I'm pretty happy with my album though! If you are interested you can check it out: http://larryslezak.com/blog/buy-the-album/.
If you get a chance, I'd love to learn more about you! Message me back if you have time.

SPOTLIGHTED ARTISTS AND BUSINESSES:
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.
