ABOUT THE SOUND CLIPS:>>>>>
These are just a bunch of clips, mainly of some of my work on Sound Choice CDs, with a couple other things thrown in. All trumpet parts are played by me. Some silly stuff (Cartoon themes..ha) and other clips where the trumpet stuff is prominent. Take special notice of how great the singers are on these clips! We try to recreate as exact as we can on these and many of these singers, especially, are uncanny!
I do have ideas for a personal project, but have been focusing on working. Maybe one day I'll jot all this stuff I have in head down and work on a solo thing. Anyway, I hope you find this material at least mildly amusing. ;-) I had some fun.

"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
"What a wonderful place is Jazz Network for all of us musicians, we'll get the possibility to know new ones and meet always new musicians from all over the planet, thanks Jaijai for doing this incredible work and for the love you put in it and keep doing it forever..."
~ Giuseppe Continenza
“But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between us. Love one another, and let the love be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.”
This is how I have felt and continue to feel since I joined The Jazz Network on March 4th 2008.
If we look back at our Village Elders one sees how they worked together to achieve and be innovative, and thanks to Jaijai and thejazznetwork.ning we are able to continue on the same path as our Village Elders.

"Thanks to Jaijai for creating this wonderful site. She has drawn on her own extensive history in music to make a truly comfortable place for "unusual" kindred spirits to meet, share and motivate. It's been uplifting, comforting and facinating to meet fellow musicians from cultures and countries around the world."
~ Diane Hoffman
What a great place you have created, Jaijai. Thank you so much for your dedication and vision. We musicians benefit immensely, as it brings us closer together, allows for many of us to reconnect, or discover each other for the first time. I am still getting acquainted with the enormous benefits of having this independent place for communication between all of us - artists, fans, promoters, etc., and it is a real honor for me to be featured on the Jazz Network Main Page.

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.
