Elli, I haven't heard from you since my WKCR show...did you hear the plug at the end? The time went by so fast and we were flippin' CD's and had a little agenda to follow, but I managed to get it in there, I was just curious if you tuned in. The show itself was more about avant-garde music but we actually played quite a variety of things across the board.
Hope everything is rolling along smoothly,
Nora

Sorry, Nora, I did NOT hear your show. Thanks so much for the plug -- always so appreciated. Things are hectic and smooth and busy and, well, you know. Didn't even see this note until just now! For some reason there was no notice when it went up.
Best to you,
Elli

Pete Candoli, Trumpeter and Studio Musician, Dies at 84
Jack Vartoogian /FrontRowPhotos
The jazz trumpeter Pete Candoli at Alice Tully Hall in 2002.
By PETER KEEPNEWS
Published: January 23, 2008
Pete Candoli, a jazz trumpeter who made his mark as a high-note specialist in the big-band era and went on to become one of the busiest studio musicians in Hollywood, died on Jan. 11 at his home in Studio City, Calif. He was 84.
The cause was prostate cancer, said his partner, Sheryl Deauville.
Born Walter Joseph Candoli in Mishawaka, Ind., on June 28, 1923, Mr. Candoli became a professional musician in his teens and had already worked with several big bands, including Tommy Dorsey’s, when he joined the Woody Herman Herd in 1944, at age 21. His stratospheric range was prominently featured with Herman on numbers that he sometimes played while wearing a Superman costume. He also took part in the historic 1946 Carnegie Hall concert at which the Herman band performed the world premiere of Igor Stravinsky’s “Ebony Concerto.”
In 1955 Mr. Candoli moved to Los Angeles. There, in addition to continuing his jazz work with Stan Kenton and others, he became an active studio musician, working on film and television soundtracks as well as record dates for Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald and numerous others. He was a member of the Henry Mancini ensemble that provided the memorable jazz-inflected score for the television show “Peter Gunn,” on which he occasionally appeared on camera.
From 1957 to 1962 Mr. Candoli was the co-leader of a small group with his younger brother, Conte, an equally accomplished trumpeter with a similar big-band résumé. The Candoli brothers continued to work together on and off into the 1990s. Conte Candoli died in 2001.
Mr. Candoli’s three marriages, all to fellow performers, ended in divorce. He was married to the actress Vicky Lane from 1953 to 1958, the actress-singer Betty Hutton from 1960 to 1967 and the actress-singer Edie Adams from 1972 to 1989. He and Ms. Adams briefly toured in the 1970s with a nightclub act in which he sang and danced as well as playing trumpet and leading the orchestra.
Besides Ms. Deauville, he is survived by two daughters, Tara Candoli and Caroline Byers, both of Los Angeles; a sister, Gloria Henke of Mishawaka; and two grandchildren.

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
