The Unofficial Traxx.FM Jazz Selecta!

Jezza says…
Firstly thanx to Eugene (Patron Saint of Jazz)for all the help. We are all well aware that the jazz scene in our lovely tropical country is growing but what triggered it is beyond me. As I write, I’m praying that all jazz musicians in the country will take the oppurtunity by using Traxx fms Jazz Selecta as a platform to promote their respective music, coutesy of rtm . To all restaurateurs, promoting jazz, please lets not try to make it an up market, cigar puffing, expensive car driving, Kenny G loving, musician exploiting thing.Let us remember that jazz is also for the hardworking middleclass and not so well to do, basically its for everyone. Apparently theres a saying that goes like THE LONGER THE BAMBOO THE LOWER IT SHOULD BEND, WHICH MEANS THE BETTER YOU GET AT SOMETHING, THE HUMBLER YOU BECOME, So if youre a good jazz musician, I shall refrain from saying more. Whatever happens, I hope you enjoy the site and the only free to air Jazz Show in the country.

Well look at us..aren’t we trendy now that we have a “blog”? Of course none of this would have been possible if it wasn’t for Eugene at alldatjazz.com! Since this is our first ‘official’ post and all I have to say is Bonjour, Guten Tag, Hola, Dobrý den and HELLO! Consider this blog a place you can read up on TRAXX FM’s JAZZ SELECTA show. Read about what HAPPENED on our show and what WILL happen. We’re talking about guests, artist features, contests yadda yadda. And thanks to modern day technology, much like 3-in-1 coffee, we will also be posting pictures thanks to my phone cum camera. Maybe one day Jezza decides to come to work wearing a long curly wig carrying a soprano sax with a ’shoot me’ t-shirt on, who knows, but whatever it is will be captured and posted. Remember, we aren’t Jazz pros who know everything about Jazz. We do know that we want to make Jazz accessible to all and not only to the “up market, cigar puffing, expensive car driving, Kenny G loving, musician exploiting thing” (Thanks Jezza! You’re a man of words did I ever tell you that?) And to quote another great man, Louis Armstrong,

“If you have to ask what jazz is, you’ll never know.”

Stay tuned for updates…

Cheers!
