 Check out the site for musical contributions (audio tracks, articles, arrangements and compositions) from master musicians including Allan Ganley, Terry Seabrook, Mark Nightingale, Frank Griffith,Stan Sulzmann and Derek Nash. All the professional material was supplied to the site to support the Jazzorg objective, in 'spreading the word' and increasing the interest of 'young people' in jazz as an exciting art form. In addition to the music, we're grateful, too, for Frank Griffith's generous additional literary and critical contributions under the 'articles and reviews' tab. It's all part of our intention to bring you top quality material, to help in your appreciation and interest in jazz and to provide a platform for you to contribute your own material for use by other enthusiasts. All the material downloads are free and complete, not just commercial 'tasters'. Keep in touch with the site and maybe even make a musical contribution...there are more exciting items in the pipeline.
