Amazing Opportunity for Jazz Performers!

[Guest PureSolo]

I just wanted to drop in a quick message to let you know about three amazing online jazz talent competitions we've just launched in association with Jazz FM.

Snake Davis, Dennis Rollins and Steve Waterman will select the winners from a community-voted Top 10, so get your entires up early and start getting those all-important votes!

Winners will go on to be mentored by the artists and will join them on stage for one song at an upcoming gig.

will I win a night with Kenny G? if so, I'm sorry, I don't pet on the first date - unless there's flowers, a lot of food, several illegal substances, and a large gratuity.

Gee, I always wanted a mentor named Snake.

But can he play Sweet Georgia Brown?

[JSngry]

I actually worked with Artis once...he's an itinerant type by and large, or was then, passes through, stays with people he's met over the years, shows up, plays intermissions or "sits in" for a few days, passes the hat, and moves on. Interesting guy.

Now, could he play Sweet Georgia Brown, I don't know. But I've no doubt that he could play with it. He's got this one basic pulse that permeates everything he plays, but I've heard him adapt it to all sorts of other things well enough.

Close enough for spoons.

Artis! A Seattle legend...

Say, who is this Snake Davis cat? Not many jazz musicians with great names like that around any more. "Where have all the Spikes gone? Long time in passing." Or Buds. Or Pee Wees. Or Mezzes. Or Fatheads...

Aha! Just answered my own question:

jazz?
