About Me |
|
| God gave me a brainstorm!!! I created THE JAZZ NETWORK!! A place for all of us jazz "people" to hang and network with each other, to learn about each others projects, tours, marketing strategies and to help mentor those up-and-comers into the biz. Come by and become a part of the "Woman of Jazz" Jazz Network Family!! Doing what I do best, Rhythmically yours, Jaijai ~ "Woman of Jazz" Visit THE JAZZ NETWORK Mystic fog
Jaijai Jackson grew up in the music business....Daughter of the late “Chubby Jackson” famed jazz legend bassist, inventor of the five string bass, TV kiddie-show host, writer, composer and is darn proud to be!At the age of six, she danced and performed on her Dad’s television show, felt the pulse of the business and was determined to express her mark as a “Jackson”....After the many plays and chorus’s she explored through high-school, she then moved to California for the “bright lights”, Jaijai chose to learn the business from the “business end” and soon found herself, running a recording studio, doing voice-overs, booking acts, represented 27 jazz musicians at one time). She then chose to work for the biggest “big band agency” in New York City, as “right arm” to Willard Alexander, of the Willard Alexander Agency. (Learned from the best)...In the interim working at the agency and coordinating tours for Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Harry James, Maynard Ferguson, and many other bands and individual artists, she learned the game. Buddy Rich came into her office one day to go-over contracts, he said to her “you should really meet my daughter, I really think you guys would get along real well”. She went over to meet Cathy on an evening that Buddy was on the “Tonight Show”; they shared the experience of being two “jazz daughters” and could relate to that level of their worlds. They expanded their thoughts together and started living and singing together. Buddy then asked them if they wanted to go sing in Europe with his band and there they went, off to Europe. Jaijai left Willard’s office and went off to pursue performance once again...first engagement was at Madison Square Garden and prestigous venues all throughout England (ie. Royal Festival Hall), Scotland and Wales with the Buddy Rich Band! Her sincerest efforts became an integral part of the benefit performance as Associate Producer of “A Celebration of Music” for the late Buddy Rich at Carnegie Hall, in association with Executive Producer Cathy Rich and the JVC Jazz Festival. Soon after, back in California she collaborated with her father in compiling a catalogue of all original music videos of the 30’s and 40’s distributed by a Disney-owned television/film distribution company International Creative Exchange which was lead by Olivier de Courson who was responsible for launching the Disney Channel, this experience afforded Jaijai the opportunity to learn domestic and international TV/Film distribution/Co-productions, coordination and foreign licensing of product and interaction with TV and Film producers. Moving forward in her career, Jaijai assisted the Sr. VP of Bookings and manager of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Alex Hodges for the special events being presented at the Pantages Theatre, Greek Theatre and the Pacific Amphitheater for the Nederlander Organization in, Hollywood, CA. NAMM National Association of Music Merchants)in Carlsbad, CA commissioned Jaijai to produce the opening of the “Making of Music Museum” where more than 2500 people attended and also where her father’s two basses have resided for the past few years. Jaijai has collaborated with major corporations through various production companies from conceptual ideas to full on production of events and entertainment direction. In dedication to her father’s great memory she has launched Five String Productions, which is, a full service event production company dedicated to jazz performance and music mentorship Jaijai is proud to be presenting a jazz radio show built on launching new artists, providing interviews with seasoned veteran musician’s who mentor the new up-and-coming jazz musicians that are worthy of worldwide recognition through her "jazzfomercials". Jaijai is currently looking for artists from all over the world for a new show she will be presenting promoting "International Artists"! Contact her now to let her know of your artistry.
