Hey All
Wow, it's finally done!! My brand new Christmas CD (which also happens to be my first), Celebrate the Holidays, is now available for individual downloads. Just go to www.cresonealmusic.com, and click the recordings link. The CD itself will be available in two weeks. You can pre-order your copy now if you wish. I have some of the hottest musicians around joining me in this project.

Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle
Community Rallies behind
Icon Ernestine Anderson
Information on how to contribute below.
Dear Friends,
We hear stories daily of people who are being forced to foreclose on their
homes and it is truly heartbreaking. Recently, celebrities such as Ed
McMahon and Evander Holyfield are in foreclosure. Unfortunately, that is a
reality for many in this troubled economy and now, it has affected our own
living legend, the incomparable Ernestine Anderson who is a four-time Grammy
Nominee.
We are reaching out and seeking support to help Ms. Anderson save her home,
where her family has lived since 1946, in Seattle's Central District. Any
financial contribution to avoid this misfortune will gladly be accepted. An
account has been set-up for her at Bank of America in Washington State under
the name of "The Ernestine Anderson Fund". You can go to any Bank of America
to make a donation to this fund. People who live outside of Washington State
may also make a donation at Bank of America. Please let them know to
reference Bank of America - Washington State for "The Ernestine Anderson
Fund".
Ms. Anderson has exhausted all resources and she has until June 30th to
raise at least $45,000 or her family home will be foreclosed. Any additional
money raised will be used to assist Ms. Anderson to offset the existing
mortgage of this property which will give her peace of mind in the future.
Without our financial support, her home is scheduled to be auctioned off on
July 11th. We appeal to everyone who has been touched by Ms. Anderson's
artistry, to join us in this effort. As 2008 marks Ms. Anderson's 80th
birthday - a true milestone, we hope that as a community we can rally and
give back for all the gifts she has bestowed on so many.
Please feel free to forward this email to anyone and everyone who is willing
to help. We need everyone's support now as the clock is ticking.
With much gratitude and sincere appreciation.
James Kelly, President and CEO
Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle

Dear Colleague,
As Chair of the Congressional Entertainment Industries Caucus (CEC) and in celebration of Black Music Month, I’d like to invite you to a Black Music Month Celebration hosted by the Rhythm and Blues Foundation and the American Association for People with Disabilities on Wednesday, June 25, 2008 at 4:30 pm in the Capitol, Room HC-5.
“The Soundtrack of a Generation: Doo-Wop and Early Rhythm and Blues” will be a panel discussion featuring Doo-Wop and early Rhythm and Blues performers. The panel, moderated by Dr. Nick of XM Satellite, will focus on the musical tradition of the 1950’s and 60’s. Panelists will include Johnny Mason’s Clovers (Rock and Roll Pioneer Award Winners), The Legendary Orioles (Diz Russell), The Jewels (launched by Bo Diddley/James Brown Revue) and The Marquees/Moonglows (Marvin Gaye started his career with this group). This event will provide first hand knowledge of the Doo-Wop era and provide insightful dialogue about this pioneering genre.
The program will commence at 4:30 pm with light refreshments followed by a Hand Dance demonstration (D.C. Hand Dance originated in the Washington, D.C., Area in the mid-1950s as D.C.’s own version of the “jitterbug” or “swing”).
The Black Music Month Celebration panel will conclude with performances by The Legendary Orioles, The Marquees, The Jewels and Johnny Mason’s Clovers.
Join us as we highlight these performers and celebrate the music that made an impact on American culture and became the soundtrack of a generation.
To attend, please send your RSVP to Unique Webster at rsvpaapd@earthlink.net. Seating is limited.
I invite you to join the Congressional Entertainment Industries Caucus. To join, please contact Dorinda White at 202.225.7084 or email her at dorinda.white@mail.house.gov.
Sincerely,
Diane E. Watson
Member of Congress

Hola Folk,
I apologize for the randomness, but I'm looking for summer gig work. I've been playing sax for 10 years (sound samples are on my page), currently play in my church's band, and have played in a few jazz bands and ensembles during my high school/college career.
I'm trying to gain more practical experience in the R&B/Jazz arenas this summer.
Just wondering if anyone knew of any jam sessions/band openings in the area...
I'm in Upper Marlboro, MD
Any help would be much appreciated...
God Bless

INSPIRATIONAL CORNER
Uncle Hugh 'Peanuts' Whalum is my 80 year-old uncle who has FORGOTTEN more about jazz than I've even learned yet! He released his CD "Introducing Hugh 'Peanuts' Whalum" after gigging in the St. Louis scene for over 55 years! Needless to say his voice, his saxophone, his piano... like a fine, aged Merlot. His energy?! I dare not try and keep up. I'm on stage falling asleep by the time he gets going good – cut from a different cloth. Arnette, Coleman, Hamp, Hank... fine cloth.
Why do I bring them up? Because they represent something really important that we now get to enjoy, like they did back then, but now through technology on sites like this, that we've been missing.
The good news, since family – in this case JAZZ FAMILY – and relationships are much more important, more fulfilling... is that I feel RICHER knowing and following you guys music on THE JAZZ NETWORK!
Sincerely,
Kirk WHALUM

SPOTLIGHTED ARTISTS
Finding THE JAZZ NETWORK has been an amazing experience for Musique Noire. The opportunity to not only gain exposure among the jazz community, but to also learn and network with others in the jazz world has been invaluable. It is a place where we are all treated equally, whether one is a major label act or an indie artist, whether one plays traditional jazz or any of the "branches" of the jazz Family "tree".
Musique Noire is honored to be spotlighted here and are deeply grateful to Jaijai for creating this wonderful world. We're here to stay!
~ Musique Noire
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!

"It was a pleasure to be featured on the Jazz Network Main Page. This Network is a unique forward step for independence, contact and conversation between artist, promoters/agents and fans.
Thank you Jaijai for offering a professional meeting place. I've met new musicians and rediscovered old friends I haven't seen or heard from in years. May we all continue to expand this network.
~ Will Calhoun
"I think that what Jaijai Jackson has done with the Jazz Network shows how the eternal love for this music is passed down from generation to generation. The fire her father lit in her has burned brightly and has inspired her to pass this torch on to future generations. I'm very proud to be featured and I'm very happy that Jazz has a voice and spirit like Jaijai looking after it."
~ Ron Kearns
I am so honored to be on The Jazz Network with so many wonderful and dedicated musicians. Jazz is the truly American art form and as I travel to other countries I find that their appreciation for jazz is really uplifting. There are so many excellent jazz musicians around the world now and The Jazz Network is helping us to find each other. Thank goodness for people like Jaijai who have dedicated so much time and effort to keep the jazz community together and for opening doors to us that we may never have found.
Regarding education in jazz, having done Master Classes in many places I find students need to take time and learn from the Masters and LISTEN. They should go back in history to appreciate ALL styles of jazz and its development. They need to learn melodies and lyrics (yes, even instrumentalists need to know lyrics) and that jazz is not just a series of modes and riffs. I think The Jazz Network can be an excellent tool for that also.
Thank you Jaijai...you are awesome!
~ Lenore Raphael
"Thank you Jaijai for creating a space for the likes of me! I truly enjoy being featured here and really hope it can give me new contacts and opportunities.
Keep up the good work!"

"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
It’s a rare occasion when you meet someone who you feel a real connection to … Someone who possesses a kind spirit, unyielding generosity and a dedication to the jazz community beyond expectations.
Jaijai, thank you so much for creating such a fantastic website for the jazz community. You’ve helped artists connect with each other around the world.
I’m proud to have The Jazz Network be the first site to promote my latest recording. Words cannot express my gratitude to you for your dedication to the music and the artists.
With much love and gratitude,
Denise Donatelli
Hi Jaijai,
Stopping by to show you some love and tell you just how much I appreciate all you've been doing here, not just for me but for this incredible community of jazz musicians. I see that The Jazz Network is growing in leaps and bounds daily and want you to know that I recognize the importance of what's going on here, musicians having a place to connect with each other, young musicians having a place to meet and be mentored by musicians who have been around the block. You've created a beautiful space here and it's obvious that folks are feeling very much at home. Thanks for sharing your time, your heart, your soul. This is a huge commitment and you've taken it on with such determination. I wish you and The Jazz Network continued success and support you in all you're doing.
~ Marcus
