George V. Johnson Jr., whose network aims to help musicians, and the venues where they play and create a new worldwide community devoted to jazz. Johnson, the ART OF JAZZ VOCALESE MASTER who has performed with many of the greats like Pharoah Sanders, James Moody, Lou Donaldson, Dizzy Gillespie, Fred Foss, Arnold Sterling, Buck Hill and many others, said he started the site (at washingtondcjazznetwork.ning.com) as a place for “every musician to meet and network.” (Vocalese is the setting of lyrics to established jazz orchestral instrumentals.)

WASHINGTON DC JAZZ NETWORK Comment by WASHINGTON DC JAZZ NETWORK on February 22, 2009 at 9:45am
The Washington DC Network has sent several request to our President "Barack Obama" for a response on his position about how he would bring about a CHANGE to promote "America's Classical Music JAZZ". We've also requested that he become a member of the site to address issues as he's done with myspace and other sites. Don't you agree? Wall Street and just about ever sector of America are receiving relief. What about America's Classical Music "JAZZ". Is America's Classical Music JAZZ included in the package deal??? Musicians are playing on the street corners, parks, subways practically begging for money to make a living. Countries around the world respect Jazz on the highest order and in return Jazz musicians are probably the lowest paid musicians in America, yet they contribute, influence and play a vital role in America's culture.

Inviting a few high profile jazz musicians or use to be jazz musicians to the Whitehouse for personal performances is a good idea, but will not solve the problem. What about the musicians in who play in the trenches. The little people?

The President has yet to respond! Send letters to www.BarackObama.com
