Miles Davis

There are some people in history, who lived their lives in a way that influenced the world eternally. Their work is here with us, even after they are gone, and they themselves are remembered for their achievements. Alas, not all these people have happy stories. I was packing up my dad’s self storage the other day and came across his records, which made me realize that some of these stories are kind of sad, like the tale of Miles Davis, More

Dixieland Jazz -The Beggining

Jazz music’s origins are mainly related to the US city of New Orleans -this is when for the first time jazz musicians started performing and using the word Dixie (that has been used for the southeastern part of the US) the first jazz music was referred to as Dixieland Jazz or New Orleans Jazz.

Jazzy Chat, Jazzy Bloggin’

Welcome to Jazzy Chat, I feel like in this first post I should tell you a little bit about myself. I grew up in the wonderful and eye-opening city of Montreal, Canada. Which really allowed a girl to discover exactly who she is, and what I discovered was that music is my life. By the age of sixteen I pretty much lived on rue Sainte Catherine and Boulevard St-Laurent, sneaking into late night jazz clubs and spending my days in Archambault.

But then I did something a little bit different, instead of picking up a musical instrument (which I started hanging on my walls for aesthetic reasons), I started playing around on sound boards. And I was hooked. Since then I have worked with a variety of amazing and talented musicians and bands, both on the road and in the recording studio and have loved every single second of it. My travels have taken me all over Canada, around Europe, and now have landed me right in the middle of the Southern United States where soul music truly lives.

I hope that you enjoy what I have to say about blues and jazz, but even more so I hope that I can introduce you to some amazing artists along the way.
