Tell us a little about you....
Flugelhorn Soloist with a Full, Fluent Sound & Multi-Stylistic Musical Background. In the late 60's I played on the 298th US Army Band, in Berlin, Germany. Also in Berlin, I Co-Founded Europe's 1st 10-piece Jazz/Rock Group -which went-on to record in London as: The Gasoline Band on the Cube label in 1972. In years past, I've played on many Live Appearances & Jam Sessions with Artists such as: Carmell Jones, Leo Wright, Pony Poindexter, Vince Benedetti, Paul Jackson & Bob Zimmitti; (early 70's) Also: Wallace Roney, Kevin Eubanks, Hendrik Meurkins, Donald Harrison, Branford Marsailles & Claire Arenius (whom, as an unknown, I introduced to The Melba Liston Band in 1980!) I have played in Many diverse musical Situations & Styles, from Quintet to Big Band -Post Bop to Hip Hop -Europe to Boston -LA to the Caribbean! Quitting the scene in the mid 1980's- raising a young Artist and a young Musician as a single dad- & am now ready to come back on The Bandstand! Doubles include: Lead, Harmonic & Fluent Scat Vocals, Composition -& Lyricist Skills (I love the challenge of retrofitting Melodically Synonomous Words to your instrumental work -which are directly or indirectly Consistent With it's Existing Title!) So- please keep me in mind! My most recent appearance was at a Live Jam with bassist Steve Clark in Bridgeport, Ct. Hope to see You at the next one! In the meantime, I'll work on some New Sounds to post here! Thanks for Checkin' Me Out! Later -Blue Brown!

Blue ! Hello ! Ricky's gig was incredible !!! I'm sorry I didn't have time to tell you about it before but the end of the school year is just crazy here !
Students were so amazed at the perfomance! They loved it. Ricky is coming back on July 11th with the project of creating a Big Band with the students of our school !!!! No need to tell you how delighted I feel ! I wasn't sure how students would react towards the gig, & some came to me at the end to thank me for the wonderful time. Very moving moments for me...
I'll let you know about the next episode of "Ricky in Jeanne d'Arc" (name of our school)!
Have a great jazzy swinging day,
Astrid

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.

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.

“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."

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.
