hi,
I am glad to announce the release of my debut CD called "Interro Island". This is my first solo project, which includes original tunes composed and arranged by me. I hope you will enjoy my work!
Hello! You left me a comment on here a while ago but I just received it today. I guess I never check the Jazz Network. Thanks for the sweet compliment! Your stuff sounds great as well!
I recently had the honour of being asked to contribute to a very special album project.
Please take a moment to check out this page where you can hear some of the music, learn more about the project and show your support.

The album is the SHOPS from next MONDAY 14th APRIL. I hope you can all show your support for such a great cause.
In the mean time FOOD OF LOVE is AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD NOW on ITUNES
Thanks

FAMOUS NAMES LINE UP FOR
THE WILBERFORCE PROJECT:
A COMMEMORATIVE ALBUM CELEBRATING 200 YEARS
SINCE THE ABOLITION OF THE UK SLAVE TRADE
WILBERFORCE 200 is a compilation album commemorating the bi-centenary of the abolition of slavery. This is an exquisite collection of popular songs, sung by famous music artists we all know and love, and some we don't...
The CD features performances by legendary acts such as Billy Ocean and Ruby Turner as well as younger well known musical figures such as Roachford and the X Factor's Maria Lawson to name but a few. The album features both new songs and classics such as 'You've Got A Friend' and 'Respect'
'Wilberforce' is named after William Wilberforce, the English politician and philanthropist, who headed the parliamentary campaign against the British slave trade, culminating in the passing of the Slave Trade Act in 1807. 200 years later in 2007 - to commemorate this important historical landmark - the City of Hull has run events and activities throughout the year focusing on slavery and emancipation, with special focus this October on Black History Month.
Unimaginable as it seems, slavery and bonded labour still persists today. Although the slave trade was officially banned in the early 1800s, the last 50 years have seen a resurgence of slavery due to changes in the world's economy and societies. Factors such as population growth (particularly in the developing world), rapid social and economic change, as well as corruption have all made their mark.
The Wilberforce 200 album is not just about history and Hull, but about connecting with projects and partners to put the abolition into a modern context. With music being such a powerful force of expression, this compilation is the perfect partner to such a vital historical event.
The launch of the Wilberforce project will take place on the 25th October at the Wilberforce House Museum in Hull, with the album launching early in 2008. Proceeds of the album will be donated to the charities Save the Children, Freetown Society and the Prince's Trust.

Jag Thankful
Thank you for your kind words and friendship. I really enjoy listening to your music. I have plans on going to Japan to perform in the near future. So let's keep in touch. All the best and much success to you...
Hello from Perú, Basskie.
thanks you so much for your nice words.
A friend of mine, Eduardo Freyre, bass player, told me about your country and the musicall movement there. he stayed for some years in Tokyo, playing music. I have a dream : Travel to your country.
Your sound is strong. I like it!!
regards, Cecilia Alessandra
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!!

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.
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."
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.
