an inspirational thought mr. jackson: "be an originator NOT an imitator"
FLASHIN is one of my faves.. sounds like metal but the lines are JAZZ..
you'll find smooth jazz and clean guitar and vocals farther down the list..
smooth, RnB and gospel jazz lovers please check out my award winning song "by candle light.." (far down the list)

when I wrote out these quirky jazz chords I'd found sounded cool together, I counted the measures and it was 10.. that brought immediate memories of miles'/bill evans' famous "blue in green" which was a 10 measure bluesy jazz ballad.. my changes are totally different but the bluesy feeling is the same.. so I thought of zappa and knew it had to again be me.. outside the box.. that's where i love to be.. "smooth smokey vocals".. "trademark… Continue

INTERVIEW with nicky quick (rapster)
I first ran into Rapster on one of the OMD's... Gourd, it's been so long I can't even remember which one, though it was most likely the original MIXPOSURE... as happens with most of us, some kinda' conflict erupted, so he moved on (I know how that feels, I've done it myself more than a few times)... I always loved his jazz riffs, though, so have kept in contact when/where ever possible...… Continue

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!!

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.Edmar Castañeda And Friends On JazzSet
Hear passionate improvisation across borders on Colombian harp, Argentinian bandoneón, Venezuelan cuatro and vibes from the U.S. In a set with Castañeda, his trio and special guests perform at the Americas Society in New York.Miguel Zenón Quartet: Live At The Village Vanguard
Ever since he started becoming one of the best alto saxophone players in the world, Zenón has drawn from his upbringing in Puerto Rico. But, like many Puerto Ricans, Zenón lives in New York — where his quartet of 10 years has finally been invited to play the Vanguard. It presents new music in concert.© 2013 Created by Jaijai Jackson.
