Jazz World Beat at International Access Networks

Welcome to the Jazz and World Beat Spot at International Access Networks, Inc !!!! This is the 'SISTER' Blog page of the I-A-N Network with the emphasis on who, what, why, where, how and, when it is happening in both the Jazz and World Beat scene in New York and beyond. Like the main page of I-A-N, this is about connecting communities the world over through music. You're a part of this, too!!!

2007 has started out like bang-busters thus far, with the International Association for Jazz Education holding a massive, and successful, 4-day convention in the Jazz Capital of the World, Mid-town New York, from January 10th through the 13th.

More than 7,500 Jazz enthusiasts the world over poured into the Big Apple to attend. There were exhibitions, workshops, concerts, the NEA Jazz Masters awards ceremony, New Technology demonstrations and jam sessions galore. In short, it illustrated just what kind of world it could be when people of every race, hue, ethnicity and nation all work together for a common good. The true Connecting of Communities. We will share some of the highlights of the I-A-J-E affair with a series of photos below. There will also be a listing of Jazz events in and around New York City through our connection with HOT HOUSE magazine and, other sources three times weekly and, each month.

This is also an inter-active blog where your input is key..... We would like to hear, and read, your comments on concerts, film, night club, theatrical, as well as large and small scale performances you may have seen. So, sit back and take part in what will be an exciting blog site on the Jazz and World Beat scene with the International Access Networks. Welcome aboard!!!!!!
