FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 1, 2011

WorldWide - The Global Jazz Network.Com launches it very own Jazz radio station, The Global Jazz Radio & TV Network. The founder/creator, Jazz recording artist Tamm E Hunt says “We will be specifically presenting the music of members of The Global Jazz Network.Com.”

She continues “The idea is to give broader exposure to the emerging and established artists who are members of TGJN.” She muses “It’s the best new music you never heard.”

A recording artist and jazz singer, Hunt is the founder/creator of The Global Jazz Network.Com and no stranger to the Jazz industry. She says the changes in the industry and the way exposure is mandated for artists has prompted the launch of TGJN and it’s very own jazz radio station, The Global Jazz Radio & TV Network.

The singer/jazz activist/visionary/author sees the launch as a major value added service to the Jazz community and emerging and established artists, labels, managers, authors, journalists, broadcasters and all who are in the “Jazz Business” and have a message to convey and welcomes them to join the movement. She says “We are wide open for ideas and encourages submission of ideas be sent to globaljazzradio@aol.com

If there is a catch, it would be that you must first join The Global Jazz Network.com and only then can we accept your MP3 File submissions to be considered for airplay. The only other rules are that you must complete the free web page, with all questions answered, music, video, photo and bio uploaded. It’s free to join and with that, the joiner gets a personal web page and easy to use tools and widgets. Labels, artist managers and other jazz professionals are invited to create individual pages for their artists and companies.

The Global Jazz Radio & TV Network transmits from the TGJN website as a 24/7 365 WorldWide JAM! syndicating on several sites online at our sister sites: www.jazzburgher.ning.com and www.baltimorejazzine.com with more locations coming soon.
In addition to the TGJN PlayList, Tamm E Hunt will host a weekly three hour radio broadcast “24/7 365 WorldWide Jam!” on TGJN member Brett Lewis’ new www. Blues Jazz Radio.Com and feature interviews, special presentations and music created by TGJN members every Saturday, May 14, 2011, 9 pm til Midnight.


Hunt adds "We are very excited about our jazz radio debut! And as we expand there will be guest presenters and added programming. We have some unique ideas for our audiences.” In the works is a series of shows called “Global Jazz Bytes” - exclusive interviews with musicians and jazz experts.

Join The Global Jazz Network.Com family members, singers Gloria Lynne, Little Jimmy Scott, Ann Hampton Callaway, Kevin Mahogany, trombonists Slide Hampton, Dr. Nelson Harrison and Joseph Bowie, drummers Lenny White, Alvin Queen and Ronnie Burrage, pianists Onaje Allan Gumbs, Philippe Saisse, trumpeters Melton Mustafa and Guglielmo Bucchino, saxophonists Grace Kelly and Chico Freeman, authors Grange “Lady Haig” Rutan, Scott Yanow and thousands of other emerging and established Jazz greats and experts.

Pharoah Sanders (born October 13, 1940) is a Grammy Award-winning American jazz saxophonist.
Saxophonist Ornette Coleman once described him as "probably the best tenor player in the world." Emerging from John Coltrane's groups of the mid-1960s Sanders is known for his overblowing, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques on the saxophone, as well as his use of "sheets of sound." Sanders is an important figure in the development of free jazz; Albert Ayler famously said: "Trane was the Father, Pharoah was the Son, I am the Holy Ghost

Put it this way: Jazz is a good barometer of freedom… In its beginnings, the United States of America spawned certain ideals of freedom and independence through which, eventually, jazz was evolved, and the music is so free that many people say it is the only unhampered, unhindered expression of complete freedom yet produced in this country.~~~Duke Ellington

I think the idea is now for blacks to write about the history of our music. It's time for that, because whites have been doing it all the time.

It's time for us to do it ourselves and tell it like it is~~

Jazz is a very democratic musical form. It comes out of a communal experience. We take our respective instruments and collectively create a thing of beauty.

The Top 50 Releases of 2012/JazzTimes/February issue 2013



If you combined all Top 50 releases in terms of hard copy sales. Would it amount to 250,000 units sold, 300,000 sold? And what's wrong with Jazz radio or what's left of it? Billboard Jazz Charts for April 6, 2013 has Madeleine Peyroux "The Blue Room" @#1. Yet on the Jazz Week Charts for April 8, 2013 Peyroux is not even in the Top 50.

Man that's how I dig…
