“JazzTones," a live, Internet radio show on BlogTalkRadio.com, will feature GRAMMY-nominated jazz vocalist JANET LAWSON on Sunday, November 7, 2010 at 6:00 pm ET. “JazzTones" brings jazz musicians in Atlanta and worldwide “on -air" to talk about themselves and showcase their music. The number to call in and talk to Janet is (347) 884-9076, and the show page, which includes archives of past programs and a text chat room, is at JazzTones.
We invite you to call in to comment or ask Janet a question, and you can use the same number to listen to the show by phone if you can't get to a computer. If you miss a show, you can also download it later or subscribe to the podcast feed using iTunes software.
Janet Lawson, GRAMMY®-nominated jazz vocalist and one of the founders of the Vocal Department at New School University, has forged the way for jazz singers to develop their full musicianship through her lauded “free-spirited" scat singing, live and in recordings with the Janet Lawson Quintet. She has performed in Europe—London at the Jazz Café, Paris at the Duc des Lombards, Denmark with Butch Lacy's Very Big Band, and Eastern Europe in Latvia and Lithuania at various jazz festivals and clubs—and giving master classes at Universities and Jazz Camps throughout Europe, Lawson opens the door for jazz singers and instrumentalists to play together as partners in jazz. As she continues to recover from an illness that took away her voice, she has directed her creative energies into a forthcoming book, The Integrated Artist: Improvisation as a Way of Life, as well as a children's story with original music about the history of jazz, “Grandma Sage and Her Magic Music Room," co-written with world-renowned composer and author Carman Moore. And she continues to foster the vision of jazz singing as “a musician's expression with your voice as your axe." In support of this vision, noted jazz critic and journalist Stanley Crouch says, “Janet Lawson is a true musician ... up next to the musicians with whom she's working on an equal level."
“JazzTones" is hosted by Atlanta jazz vocalist Janet Stevenson and her husband Dave Swan, a former radio journalist with Voice of America, and is a production of the Dunwoody Jazz Society. Noted guests on the show include Joe Gransden, Anita Wardell, and Judy Niemack. The Dunwoody Jazz Society was created to enjoy music in intimate settings and get to know fellow straight-ahead jazz and blues fans through social events such as live concerts, parties, and lectures.
