Thanks for understanding my idea. I believe if the general public is educated in a new way of thinking about jazz, then we can bring Traditional Jazz back to the forefront to show everyone its roots and how all other jazz is just an offspring or bi-product from the GrandDaddy. We must get to this point now & not wait any longer, we're losing all the greats who can tell the story 1st person. This is my passion & I welcome anyone that want to take this journey with me. No more shyness this is a must.

Linda,

Your comment is on point and perhaps more and more will pick up on it. IMO it is usually the journalists and marketeers who come up with the labels that divide us and we needn't acknowledge or react to such labeling. All it does is divide and conquer. Smooth jazz is over 100 years old. It's just the style that musicians used to play for dancers where the current dance beat sets the rhythm. you can play any tune with dozens of rhythmic varieties. The public needs to understand that we are all the same people as artists who play these various styles. The Funk Brothers of Motown fame were all jazz musicians as were all of Ray Charles' musicians. We are in no way limited by these labels as artists but when we are in the marketplace as live entertainers, our job is to play for the people. I wear over a dozen music hats quite comfortably as do many of my peers. As a label SmoothAhead may attract the attention of many who know they like smooth jazz but are not sure of any other style. We will help you promote your campaign wagon so don't be shy. You are on to something important.

Good morning, afternoon or evening, whatever time you read my comment, it's always good to read positive vibrations about this great music form called JAZZ, let's give it props. I've joined forces with a friend of mine in Los Angeles to provide a consistent venue for Jazz musicians to come and chill and play on Sunday afternoons, after the church, children & couple thang,,,, I plan on bringing these types of spots to multiple locations across this great nation. After working with festivals for many years, I've come to appreciate intimate setting to listen to some great SmoothAhead Jazz. Yess I said SmoothAhead! Jazz has evolved to the point whereby Smooth or Contemporary & Straight-Ahead or Traditional, need to understand that in order for this great Art form to survive and be energized, it's going to take a new way of thinking. SmoothAhead is this new way of thinking. I won't take it deep here, but if you have any positive vibrations about this vibe then hit me and let me know. Haters refrain, not needed. Thanks

Thanks very much for invite and friendship... I like this opportunity to share our music worlds accross this group...
The Life of a man is made up of a series of dreams which write our history, as well as our children, who then start to write their own. I decided to continue writing mine as soon as I began to dream in early childhood. One doesn't need to stop the journey along the way.
It is necessary to believe that the stars which light our way will never go out, and to continue to follow our dreams which inspire us in the most beautiful moments of our lives. If not, why is my star helping me to write so many fine melodies? I composed a suite for my dream,
called " Melody for an Oscar", and I am convinced that one day someone will help me to reach for that Oscar in Hollywood, which I have always imagined in my dreams. WE CAN DO IT!. No matter what, my dreams have enhanced my musical creativity, and for that I am thankful.
Warmest regards,

Didier EUZET
