Hey babies,
I love jazz (obviously) and want to discuss and learn what your likes and dislikes are about the music and all related topics. Some of my favorites are:
Thelonias Monk & Horace Silver (Piano) Dexter Gordon & Stan Getz (Sax) Nina Simone & Patricia Barber (Piano/Vocal) Wes Montgomery & Russel Malone (Guitar)
Miles & Clifford Brown & Roy Hargrove (Trumpet/Fluegelhorn) Karrin Allyson & Nancy King (Vocals)...More later...
Great jazz site. I'd like to hear you. Have you thought about having your music played on your site? Thanks.
Marian/Bonnie,
I forgot that there is an audio clip on my profile page you could listen to. Also, you could view my other websites that have sound tracks. They are at:

All the Best with your writing.
Let me know how you like my music.
Ciao for now,

HEY ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL BABIES...NOW'S THE TIME!!!...
Charles Yardbird Parker composed a fantastic tune that talked about the time for jazz to be received...and he set that time, but not everyone was ready to recieve is concepts of freedom, improvisation, open expression and spiritual connection with others. He is/was the greatest saxophonist of all time! His music changed the scene and he was an extremely talented, creative and innovative force in jazz...and all music! He showed us that we can create our lives in a way that gives us total freedom to express exactly who we are via our interests.
I'm wondering how many people out there love the concepts of jazz and whether the time for a revisiting of jazz concepts in our lives is NOW!!??!!
Here's the deal...if you feel so inspired to reply...let me know about which jazz concepts you incorporate into your everyday life...and which ones are more challenging to hold on to...
Jazz is inspirational/spiritual music...for those who are not aware...it's powerful creative concepts mimic the creative/spiritual life....i.e., IMPROVISATION, FREEDOM TO CREATE, FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION OF YOU AS AN ARTIST/COMPOSER OF YOUR LIFE...CONNECTION WITH OTHERS...AND...SETTING A GROOVE IN YOUR LIFE.....
If you relate...let me know...personally...I am working on all of the above...inprovisation as goes how to incorporate my love of music into my everyday work/livlihood. In terms of freedom to create...I am always looking for ways to create a fulfilling life. I hold workshops for vocalists, I am working on a new CD, writing original music, promoting my music, teaching students, organizing a women's group that will become a marketable concept or chain or model for other women's groups to follow...etc.
I hope you have a chance to find some cool jazz...give it a listen and see how it effects you in terms of inspiration, motivation to create and spiritually. It's my religion....babies!!!

What does jazz mean for you symbolically?
Inspires me to create....
Teaches me how to express...
Gives me a spiritual connection.. Shows me how to be free...
