Members of JazzRadio's two Business Networks are coming together for their Summer Drinks Party on the forthcoming Tuesday, 7^th July.

English-speaking Network IMAGINE and French-speaking Network LE SALON FRANCAIS are holding their joint party from 8 - 10 pm in the Sommergarten of the Ellington Hotel, Nürnberger str. 50-55, in Charlottenburg.

Jazz icon Quincy Jones was a major influence on the music and success of Michael Jackson, who died yesterday of a heart attack, writes Matthias Kirsch.

Jazz musicians who played with Michael Jackson include Paul Jackson Jnr., Greg Phillinganes, Louis Johnson, Tom Scott, and Paulinho da Costa.

Many jazz musicians have covered his songs, among them Norman Brown, Grover Washington Jnr., Morgana King, Jimmy Ponder, Terence Blanchard, Ramsey Lewis, Kevin Mahogany, and Arturo Sandoval. Unforgettable is Miles Davis' version of Human Nature which became one of the trumpeters core tracks in his late years.

Meet Jules Armana and Trang Le - the two latest recruits to the JazzRadio Broadcasting Academy, our project for finding and developing new on-air talent.

JazzRadio adopts a radically different approach to most radio and TV stations. Within two weeks of joining, you can be on air and broadcasting live, in the evening.

JazzRadio's approach has been developed by Program Director Julian Allitt. It is based on his own broadcasting industry experience in both the UK and Germany, and his former role as the head of a university school of journalism.

Charlie Mariano - American saxophonist with European heart

As early as the late 40s, this dynamic saxophonist was working already with Sonny Sharrock and Nat Pierce.

Besides playing in his own group, he also was part of the Stan Kenton Orchestra and after his move from Boston to the

west coast, found himself in the band of Shelly Manne, among many others.
