Thank you for those George Mesterhazy clips. I listened to them several times. He had the hair standing on my arms a couple of times. LOL..He is very good.. Thanks again,,,,fdupr...
So nice to hear from you. Thank you for your prompt reply and your kind comments about my music. I have a following in Norway, and am looking for performance opportunities, concerts, festivals, etc.
Beverly thought you might be able to help? Would enjoy speaking to you about the possibilities.

Thank you! And yes, my grandmother's family name is Englebritzen. My spelling may be a little off due to the fact that her father changed their name to Lee when he got here, so i've never really ever got to see it in context. However, I am fascinated by that particular branch of my family tree. I hope to get up to you soon.
I'm a musician ,songwriter ,producer.I've created alone a new music style I call Nu Groove.
I'd like to use my song 'Unity" to raise money to feed hungry children,and I'm open to suggestions to move on that.please use thei widget to listen to my music,,I would also like you to consider downloading a song ,and help me launch Nu Groove.
Thanks
Stan

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!!

Pianist and singer Barbara Carroll was host Marian McPartland's second guest during the first season of Piano Jazz. Thirty years later, Carroll makes a return appearance to reminisce with her friend about their experiences at the Hickory House and the Oak Room. Carroll gives a charming performance of "Very Early" and McPartland improvises a musical portrait of her guest.
The great composer and bandleader was distraught over the 1967 death of Billy Strayhorn, his songwriting and arranging partner of 28 years. But Ellington took Strayhorn's passing as an impetus, born of necessity, to increase his own productivity. Here are five examples.
At the Village Vanguard, one flight down from the hubbub of New York City, in a tight space packed with people, we're about to embark on a musical odyssey by sea. Our captain is saxophonist Chris Potter, who's launching his Odyssey-inspired album The Sirens.
The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.
Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.
