JAZZ AVENUES

NETWORKING FOR OUR HERITAGE:

The new Washington Jazz Network is the product of one of our area’s tireless promoters of the heritage,

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, Larry Ridley & Jazz Legacy Ensemble, 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.) “Members include musicians, doctors, lawyers, promoters, concert halls, festivals, clubs, and folks from all walks of life. People from all over the world are coming to the site, said Johnson, who said the site had about 130 member in less than a month, with a few hundred visits to the site everyday. I think soon it could be up to a thousand a day, as this network grows and the word gets around, he said.

Johnson added, I came up the idea because (an online platform for people to create their own social networks) give us all the opportunity to use the internet as a viral marketing tool. We can share ideas, music, dialogue, forums, news and connect with musicians and other jazz enthusiasts with just one click of a button around the world in a matter of seconds. It puts us all on a a equal playing field. United we stand while exploring the world of Jazz!

Building a "POWER BASE" with Viral Internet Marketing.


Viral Networking is one of the most powerful & effective marketing methods around in the business sector. Viral Networking is in layman's terms is sharing quality experiences with others around them thorough various means like online communities, forums, testimonials etc.
