Irvin Mayfield extends new invite to Haley

[My Alter Ego]

MAE, I have a feeling you're a Scorpio too! That's why you're trying to pin me down to my exact bday! haha

My cousin is a jazz pianist in Chicago, who has his own jazz combo. My husband and I used to go see him play around town. He has his own recording studio, and has played on Broadway in The Wiz, toured with James Taylor and played backup for Jennifer Hudson. He actually won a contest when he was 13 for writing his own symphony, and the Chicago Symphony orchestra played it as part of the prize.

Nope, I'm a Cappy. I was just wondering if your birthday was around my Mother's birthday (Nov. 10th).

And good for your cousin! Does he have anything on Youtube that I could listen to?

MAE a bit off topic, but I didn't realize NO Jazz was too different from any other type. I didn't even realize there was more than one type, haha! I guess when I think about it, certain songs have a cleaner more...proper sound? Some sounds dirtier. I guess you learn something new every day. I'd love (probably off topic) to learn more about the different genres of Jazz.

NUG, New Orleans may not be the actual "birthplace" of jazz, but it is where the style of Dixieland, one of the earliest forms of jazz, seems to have originated. As that spread, a variety of different styles emanated -- and, yes, there are a number of them.

I'll pretend the "birthplace" of Jazz was in Brian Logan's Jazz Band Music Room at Wheeling High School where Haley became a born-again christening Jazz Crusader.

Well, yes, you can pretend that. But Brian Logan (and blessed be Brian Logan for recognizing that jazz element in Haley and his nurturing and/or just hugely good sense to bring it out!) would probably give credit to what came before him.

Mae, I don't want to get off thread here, but if you want to check out my cousin, his name is Vijay Tellis-Nayak. My uncle is Indian, so hence the name. My aunt has her masters in music and passed her love of music to her son. He plays fusion jazz with his band Kick the Cat. It can be a little out there at times, but here is a link to a website of his. His recording studio is called Transient Sound.

I normally don't post here because I have a hard enough time keeping up with Facebook and twitter, let alone another forum lol. I'll be at the show! Who's all coming? I'm in the front row!

Welcome Taithleach! I'm glad you decided to post here at HF. I've seen your name around twitterville.

Congratulations on getting front row seats to the Chicago theater show! How exciting! I'm going too. With Himm, Buzz and Penny. We're sitting in the Loge, which is above the main floor, but still close to the stage. The reviews say they are excellent seats, and I think better for overall sound quality for filming. (with our spy cameras)

We should meet up before the show. It's always fun to meet other big Haley fans! or.... well find you in the front row! hehe
