Profile Information

Marital Status

Where are you located?
Chi-town bred but All Ova'....Currently S. Korea; next VA.
Tell us a little about you....
Rhythmic Lion/Rule Breaker if you will. Yes, you read it write...Korea, so If I leave anyone a message at O'dark 30 in the morning, don't throw a shoe at me, cuz' you paid good money for em'. Just be mindful that I'm just in anotha time zone, thats all. No more or less.[ Again, will relocate to the VA. area come 09', henceforth, any locale or east coast musicians in general, lets' start building now for the 09'....Fans, "lovers" of Jazz are welcomed as well. But moreso, the "players and singers".]

But seriously....I've had a love and respect for those who have influenced and continue to influence this art form. I love introducing it to those that will come after me but still ask, "what is that?", thus never forgetting that I, too, was once and in some ways, still, their generation.

In my first year of college awhile back, a bass player friend at the time, dropped these words that have stuck with me even until this day:

"It's okay to be confident....a lil' cocky even but, thats where it should end...Because there's always 7 random people who can do the [same thing] you can do, maybe even better and perhaps worse.....But @ a minimum, atleast "seven".

The Question is: what do you possess that [differentiates] yourself from those other "seven".
How did you hear about the Jazz Network?

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,

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.
