To me the Jazz Network came from love, the love of jazz and the people that played it. This project brought an outlet that establishes friendships and the means to encourage one another in this difficult business.. I am greatful that Chubby's daughter is sweet and loving, and a big supporter of this wonderful music called jazz

Someone asked me today to describe The Jazz Network. Wow, it wasn't so easy when I thought about it. The short answer - a jazz home, and a home away from home. Meaningful connections and finding old friends. The opportunity to bring the music I love closer and offer my support to the artist who are creating jazz as well as honoring those who helped create jazz.

A community to be a part of and a community to help nuture, learn from and educate. A unique way to see the future of jazz - today. How would you describe The Jazz Network?

Jaijai,

The hardest part is...where do I begin? So many thoughts flood my head and heart at this particular moment, but they all say the same thing...THANK YOU! Thank you for bringing your vision to our lives. God has blessed you so much and in turn, He has blessed us with knowing you and being a part of a world-wide family. The foundation of this family is love, spirit, music and art. I've never felt anything like it, and it just like you said, a movement, and I want to keep it moving!

I tell everyone I know about TJN and how it has impacted my life. When I was featured as an artist on TJN, I was overwhelmed with the outpour of love and support and I am still high from it. I've been so inspired that I'm creating, along with some wonderful jazz network family here in Atlanta...a tribute to the jazz legends and showcase of gifts. A way for us to come together and make things happen. Isn't that what it's all about, creating and sharing love? I'm doing my part and I encourage others to continue spreading the love...love of music, love of art, love of life! We have you to thank, for being a vessel of God's love. You are beautiful, inside and out!

I love you!

Maria

Jaijai,

What a great endeavor this is. There are so many people that have contacted me thru this site. You present us (musicians, singers), the way we should be. This brings the JAZZ COMMUNITY together like never before. I am so glad and grateful to be included. As many have said before, this is a 'BLESSING', and you are a treasure for doing this.

Peace,

Dennis Rowland

From Yve Evans:

First, I'd like to let it be known that I am not a joiner...and at my age, that 'club' thing is so far behind me, it's not worth the conversation. So, when my drummer, Larry Washington, emailed me the link to explore with a note that said, "Don't walk, run", my interest was sparked. I pointed, I clicked and there I was...one of the first thousand to arrive at, what I was to soon discover would become, a huge FAMILY gathering. A magnanimous feast of information, encouragement, laughter, music and genuine-ness. My siblings and parents in jazz; working, creating, sharing everything from their style to their thoughts of the world. What a party! I had scored...BIG. This was the environment that the others tried to build...but I guess they didn’t have the right vision. I'd love to hang around and talk but I've gotta get to the feast!

Long Live TJN!
Yve Evans

P.S. Jaijai...Thank you for making our dream come true.

Celebrate the Day!

From Jae Sinnett:

The Jazz Network presents an interesting platform for those involved in jazz music. Jazz musicians, appreciators and educators are introduced to each other with the click of a mouse. This is important because the proverbial jazz circle is smaller than need be and networking options for jazz musicians are limited. Most "jazz" music sites deal with the marquee names...or as I playfully identify...the repeat offenders. There are many gifted musicians out here playing this music that few know anything about. The Jazz Network is unbiased in its presentation of the music and who it permits to be active on the service. You love jazz? Welcome aboard! That's the key...jazz is the focus. I'm glad to be a part of it. The visibility it is offering me in regard to my nominations and music is of tremendous value. I thank the Jazz Network and hope it's base only continues to grow and make a difference.

From Hilde Hefte:

Dear sweet Jaijai,

I don't know how to thank you for featuring me on the frontpage of this wonderful jazz network you've created. Working with music can be very hard - a thing every musician knows - and receiving a support like yours is a treasure I will keep close to my heart.

I believe you have received lots and lots of warming words from other musicians as well for the work you've done and are doing - and you deserve them all.

But never the less - I feel like saying it one more time: Thank you for creating such a wonderful place to be - AND for featuring me on your front page. It's a huge honor.

From a grateful
Hilde Hefte
