The Unofficial Traxx.FM Jazz Selecta!

two and a half years since it’s inception and we are now beginning to understand the concept of jazz in Malaysia and how we continue to close one eye to all the unwanted stuff that is in no way helping promote the genre. We need to get rid of all the unwanted back biting that takes place in the background. Every musician or at least 80% of the ones i’ve met had something to say about another musician. Everyone gives me well edited stories of how they winged it at berklee and how the ones that haven’t made the pilgrimage don’t understand Jazz. they then top it up by giving me a display of how proffesional they are by saying nice things to the said musician laced with the rhetorical HOw r U LAH BRO? workiing the bile to somewhere around my molars. SO, how do we get rid of the unwanted back biting. Let 2007 be ayear of introspection, and except that we will be a year older. I dont know if this is information but I have been teaching Aikido for quite a while and the kids i teach are far better then those in Japan. Here’s the irony, I have never in my life been to Japan and i think sushi will taste better if fried.The lesson : Work at embracing ur people not dissing them.

APPY NEW YEAR
JEZZA

Sorry I’m kind of a day late wishing everybody. Well, there are 12 days of Christmas right? So, have a very merry Merry Christmas! As for tonight’s show, we’ll be playing more christmas songs, have the RTM Jazz Orchestra feature at 10:30pm, do a band feature on Vorcza, and have a little tribute to James Brown, the godfather of soul.

Hope you’re all warm and snuggly with your little hot cup of chocolate ready for jazz music (or coffee if you’re an insomniac)
