Michael Jackson

How sad, not Michael Jackson's death but his life. No talent is worth the suffering he endured as a child and as an adult. I mourn the life lost. 'Fame is the downside of being successful at what I do' Nick Kershaw' Continue

July 7th, 2009

Danny Barker took pride in speaking to the Xavier Students, regarding Louis Armstrong and his impact in our history. I take pride in bringing you this excerpt (from a cassette annotated: Oct. 22th '77 Oct. 25th) Mr. Barker's emphatic attempt to sum up, for a "young lady," in a few sentences, Armstrong. Armstrong.wav “...a slum section.” One hundred years from his life as such, we would now call someone like the nine… Continue

IMIsound puts the spotlight on "Strip in Midi Side"

[SEGUE IN ITALIANO] “Strip in Midi Side” came to light in the summer 2007 as the brand new project of Luigi Buonaiuto (Giotto), Emanuele Sirica (Maks), and Marco DeFilppo (Amon). The team, already tried and tested with years of experience collaborating in various cover bands, immediately focused on an intensive phase of song-writing, searching for a sound that was able to blend a rock/metal/post-punk background with an elect

July 4th, 2009 - Independence Day

Steal away, steal away. Steal a way to freedom. Greetings Dear Reader; Peace be unto your house. It is beautifully alive morning in downtown Orleans Parish. It is a good thing that we have rest today as it is already 88 degrees (and feels somewhere near there in degrees of humidity,) as of 10:00 a.m. As many of you already know, this is the date that Louis Daniel Armstrong marked as his birthday; the year he declared was 1900. Scholarship (and capitalism) has altered this history and thus, Pop… Continue

The Producer

I realize that getting into what I am about to talk about may make some people unhappy and I am open to criticism for that. But I've been feeling this for awhile and Michael Jacksons death has really opened up this subject to me. I have now spent 35 years practicing my craft. I started out wanting to be a producer and soon learned it was going to be a real journey of learning and understanding what that means.I idolized the greats like Arif Mardin,Teo Macero,George Martin.I realized that they w… Continue

Quotes from some of the best...

Jaijai, what a wonderful mission you've undertaken to create such a place for artistic minds to meet and share their hearts. A place to renew faded determinations, and revive lessened momentums. A place to display our wares and reconfirm to one another that we actually are on the right track.

I commend you, Jaijai, for caring so much that you created this castle of the heart for all of us. I want to share my praise for all of the new friends as well as old friends that I've met and will meet here in our castle. Here we can garnish the where-with-all, the strength, the conviction, and the selflessness through our symbiosis, to share our gift to the world with an unbiased agenda.

My mentor, Daisaku Ikeda says of art: "A beautiful flower delights and refreshes the hearts of all people equally, no matter what soil it grows in. That is the power of beauty. The same is true of great art. It is this spirit that the German poet Heinrich Heine sang of when he wrote that once the peapod bursts open, the sugar peas inside are for everyone to enjoy."

Let's be audacious, my friends!

Buster Williams

Dear Jaijai:

What a wonderful thing you have created here and thanks so much for the fabulous feature you did for my music and me. As I am new to TJN I am fascinated by what you have created. There are so many talented artists here and it feels like I’ve gone to heaven. Your father and I were close friends over the years and Duffy still is. He played in my trio at Arturo’s in Miami Beach last summer. (2007) And I have worked with him off and on since he was 12 years old. I just know your father is very proud of you and the site is a work of art! You have created something of real value for the jazz community and all I can say is Bravo!

Mike Longo

Hey Jaijai,

What a marvelous idea of having a place where musicians can come to connect with each other. We all now know this as the The Jazz Network, thanks to you. Thank you for allowing us all benefit from the power of your dreams.

Safe travels,
Henry Johnson

"The Jazz Network has come into being at just the right time. I believe that we are forever in need of spiritual and artistic enrichment and the way I see it, music, particularly jazz music, is all about the spirit. The Jazz Network allows us to reach out to our fellow artists across the world, in a way that has not been seen before, enlightening us as to who's out there making hip and happening music and helping to shape the culture. Whether artists approach this music from traditional perspectives or attempt to create new and radical sub-genres of jazz, the Jazz Network
is providing exposure, performance and recording opportunities that we might never have found on our own.

The Jazz Network is an amazing resource for the Jazz community. I'm
honored and happy to be a part of it.

Jaijai, thanks for your faith and what you're doing for the jazz community"

Best,
Nicolas
