Second Chances! Do any of you have regrets? Wish you could re-do something? For all those opportunities we missed out on, we can all have a second chance.  That's the title of my brand new CD... Second Chances! Second Chances will be released this summer and is all about getting up when you fall down and pushing through to the finish line. I was so blessed to work with GRAMMY award winning guitarist, Norman Brown, on this song. We first worked together in 2010 Summer Storm Tour and I have been a huge of fan of his ever since!  A new friend that I've had the pleasure to work with is Johnny Britt (keys/vocals/tpt), this guy really brings it. We co-wrote Second Chances together & recently performed in the "American Idol" horn section.Lets go get some Second Chances! Love,  Jessy Sunday, May 26th, 2013 Jessy J, Michael Lington & Jonathan Fritzen - 1:30pm San Diego Jazz Festival La Costa Resort and Spa (2100 Costa Del Mar Road) Carlsbad,, CA 92009 602-244-8444 Thursday, March 21st, 2013 9:34 AM
NEW CDHi everybody, Happy early spring! What have y'all been up to? I've been having a marvelous time working on my new project and I wanted to share this exclusive behind the scenes info with you! Back at it again   In 2008 I had the opportunity to work with Guitars and Saxes including this especially talented man- Jeff Lorber.After our initial meeting I knew I wanted to work with him in the studio, it was just a matter of time. And the time is so right , right now- we've been comin up with some funky- fresh grooves at his home studio in the Pacific Palisades. Tango  I'm excited to give you a glimpse into the music writing process. I have loved the tango ever since my first trip to Argentina in 2009. I was performing with Michael Bolton and we had about 3 days in the city. It is one of my favorite places in the world, the food is amazing, the wine is delicious and the shopping is incredible!!! While we were visiting Buenos Aires we went to a Carlos Gardel Tango Show that inspired a song on my new album :)There it is , just the beginning of more to come... Stay tuned for the release of my album later this year!!! More special guests to be announced soon xoxo Jessy www.jessyj.com/ www.facebook.com/jessyjsax http://twitter.com/#!/jessyjsax Friday, April 26th, 2013 Jessy J - 7:00pm KL International Jazz Festival 2013 University of Malaya Kuala, Lumpur Malaysia Sunday, May 26th, 2013 Jessy J, Michael Lington & Jonathan Fritzen - 1:30pm San Diego Jazz Festival La Costa Resort and Spa (2100 Costa Del Mar Road) Carlsbad,, CA 92009 602-244-8444 Tickets go on-sale February 8, 2013 at 10:00am at www.sandiegojazzfest.com or charge by phone at 602-244-8444 Thursday, June 6th, 2013 Jessy J - 8:00pm Granada Theater 1214 State Street Santa Barbara, CA 93101 (805) 899-2222 Friday, June 21st, 2013 Jessy J - 8:00pm Yoshi's 510 Embarcadero W Oakland, CA (510) 238-9200 Wednesday, July 24th, 2013 Jessy J - 8:00pm Blues Alley 1073 Wisconsin Ave NW Washington D.C., Friday, August 9th, 2013 Jessy J - 7:00pm Pizza Express Jazz Club 10 Dean Street, W1D 3RD London UK CD Release Party (in the UK) !!!

The LeavesIn the mornings I enjoy walking my pouch, Ms. Mini, around the block. The other day I couldn’t help noticing the leaves on the ground. They looked so beautiful... orange, yellow, and amber. If the leaves didn’t fall to the ground, there wouldn’t be room for the new leaves in the Spring time! And it reminded me that God makes all things new. Aerosmith Recording Last May I was happily surprised by a call from Aerosmith to join them at the studio. I was honored to play Tenor Saxophone on this cut from their new album “Music From Another Dimension,” “Oh Yeah.” The coolest part was hanging out in the studio with them... Joe & Steven rode their motorbikes to the studio!! #unforgettable Japan Tour We are in Japan this week playing shows at the Cotton Club in Tokyo with my band!

Happy Harvest Hiya, Happy Harvest Everyone! This time of year is always so pretty, the changing of the leaves, the weather cooling down and the night becoming darker sooner... Brings back so many memories of Hot Cocoas, fireplaces, chocolate chip cookies and fun times with family and friends. I had an amazing time with my family this past month! We went shopping (of course) to the movies, ate popcorn, danced, and just plain hungout! Sowing Seeds Looking back, throughout the years, I can see a direct correlation between sowing seeds and a time of harvest. Without the uncomfortable “growing pains” of life, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the sweetest of joys. I would like to thank God for the season of sowing seeds, because as you know, at times we don’t feel like doing anything! But the seeds that we sow are always at work, growing and maturing, all we have to do is keep an eye on them and tend to them when they need some love. Today I am thankful for the seeds that have been sown over the course of my life... from piano lessons as a young girl all the way through music collage and beyond~ I am thankful for the gift of music. It is soothing to my soul and refreshing to my ears. It helps me live everyday~ with purpose and meaning. I love music! Upcoming Shows! We are going to JAPAN!!!! Then to LONDON... and in between doing a B-day/Holiday show at Spaggs!! See you there!

New PerspectiveHi gang, Its time for a new perspective~ sometimes when we look too closely at things, we can have a distorted view of our true identity.  That's why as an artist I find it so important to have moments of rest and relaxation. Recently I was so happy to visit friends in Miami for some much needed recoup time. We went to the beach, shopped, went out to eat and had so much fun!While I was visiting and reflecting one thing came to mind: we have the option of changing how we see things. One day we went to the beach and the sun was covered temporarily by the clouds and I could have just packed up my things and called it a day, but I knew that it would only last for a moment. Ultimately the day would have lots of sunshine~ and thats exactly what happened. After a short rain, and a few clouds, it was sunny the rest of the day! Sometimes things dont always go the way we planned, but I'd like to encourage those of you that have had some clouds, just remember the sunshine is hiding behind the clouds :) Coming up we have a Spooky Halloween Contest & the Arizona Jazz Fest! Hope to see you all soon xxo With sincere love and graditude, Jessy Sunday, October 28th, 2012 Arizona Jazz Festival - 2:00pm THE WIGWAM 300 EAST WIGWAM BLVD.

Olympic Confidence  I have been so inspired and fascinated by watching the 2012 Olympic Games this Summer! The athletes are incredible and I’ve noticed that they all have a few things in common: talent, patience, endurance, faith, and confidence. And I can’t help but draw a direct parallel between athletes and professional musicians... so much of what we do is similar. We dedicate most of our time and energy to achieving our personal best. I’ve also noticed that the commentators have been speaking about how “confidence” can make or break a race. Sometimes, the things that appear to be the easiest to attain are actually the most difficult. One would think that since these athletes are the best in the world, that confidence would come naturally. The truth is, without their families, friends, and fans they wouldn’t be able to do what they do! And the same is true for us musicians... without your support, we wouldn’t be able to chase our dreams and make them come true!Thank you all for your support that leads to confidence and success!

Continuous Play! If you were an iPod, what would you be like? Would you be on shuffle, a slow song, up-beat pop tune, repeat or continuous play? Sometimes I feel like I'm in the continuous play cycle... this summer has been a busy, busy summer of the most awesome opportunities to perform with "Sax and the City" all across the US. Not only are they fabulously talented musicians, but they are also incredible people. Upcoming Concerts In addition to the "Sax and the City" shows, we've been blessed with several shows with my band that have been a great growing experience. Last week we played in Wichita, Kansas for the first time! And we also got to debut brand-new music. I look forward to all the events coming up & sharing them together with you :) This week we have a concert at the UCLA Farmers Classic Tennis Tournament and also an East Coast tour to Syracuse, New York and Milford, Connecticut.

Hi everybody, Que pasa? We've been having a great March - got some time to listen to wonderful NEW music, like Paul Browns CD "Funky Joint" as well as Robert Glasper's "Black Radio", Fred Hammonds "love, life, Romance" and most recently Esperanza Spauldings latest release "Radio". It's so inspiring to hear what other people are doing and saying through powerful music. I love how a good song can change your entire attitude :-) Other than listening to great music I have also been working on new arrangements, practicing and developing relationships with people in the business (we know this as networking). Wave's 25th Anniversary Party (Me, Teresa, Pat Prescott)  Paul Brown's CD Release party (Euge, me, Najee, Michael, Pb)  Hanging out with Michael Lington  Visiting the Rico Reeds Factory (I was really honored that they asked me to help them with product development)  Coming up is our all new- all fabulous Sax in the City Tour featuring Marion Meadows, Paul Taylor and myself. Please check out our tour schedule and come vibe with us! Un beso grande, Jessy J www.jessyj.com www.facebook.com/JessyJSax www.twitter.com/JessyJSax Friday, February 10th, 2012 8:34 PM

PEOPLE ESPANOL!!! ****Hi guys,  People always ask me what its like to be a touring musician and if I ever get tired...and the answer is YES!! Especially after a crazy tour schedule like the one last month- London, San Diego, Los Angeles, Germany, Orlando, Miami, Los Angeles!So the best way for me to recharge my batteries is to get plugged back into that "home feeling" like visiting with my sister in Oregon, and that's exactly what I did! After the busy-ness, I rested for a few days and had a wonderful visit with my sis, her twins and hubby. We got a chance to watch movies (The Help), Boardwalk Empire (HBO) catch a game of my niece and nephew (elementary football + cheerleading), visit their school, and of course go....SHOPPING!!! Now I feel completely recharged re-focused and ready to go in for round 2 of Hot Sauce! Cooking Contest! We are excited to announce a very special cooking contest featuring Tapatio Hot Sauce that includes fabulous prizes- like cooking classes, vacation gettaway packages, and more! Stay tuned right here for the details....  People Espanol Article   People Espanol have a glowing reviewof the new album and rated it 4 out of 4 STARS in their latest issue.

Reach OutHola Amigos,
I'm so excited to be performing with a Mariachi group for the very first time this week!  Mariachi Los Tigres is a talented group from Stephen F Austin Jr High School in San Antonio, TX that has performed all over the USA. I was pleasantly surprised when I visited their school last March and heard them play a special version of "Tequila Moon!" It's going to be a unique and heart warming event don't miss it: Jun 9 at 8pm - 9pm Jun 10 at 9:45pm - 10:45pm Location: Guadalajara Grill 14610 Baldwin Prk Twne Ctr Baldwin Park, CA 91706 (626) 337-8168 guadalajara-grill.com Map and Directions This year has been an awesome year for me in the Season of giving back. I started teaching private lessons in middle school and continued all the way through my undergrad and after. When my touring career really took off I had to stop teaching because I was gone so often. Now with the help of Selmer and Disney I've been able to reconnect with music in the schools and give back to the next generation of music super stars! Check out the slideshow from my recent Selmer Jazz clinics:  I'm also proud to serve on the Board of Directors for the Young Musicians Project in Los Angeles. This charitable organization helps bring music back into the schools that have been affected by major state budget cuts. This Friday we are celebrating our one year anniversary! Come celebrate with us at the South Pasadena Music Center. Map and directions.  Visit YMP on Facebook Be blessed and be a blessing, Lots of love, Jessy Hot news!

Awareness in 2011Hello friends, The New Year always brings a time of reflection, as I reflect on the past and focus on the bright future… In 2011, I pray to realize more than self. For when we are giving we are living. I pray to be a blessing to the people in and around my life. This Year also marks a year of personal goals being met in International Touring. I have performed throughout the world with other artists but this year I have the opportunity to perform my music with my band around the Globe!!! I feel so happy and thankful to be performing in Dubai, Venice, Croatia, Japan, London and Germany this Year alone! Article in "Gulf News" In a recent interview for the “Gulf News” in Dubai of the United Arab Emirates, I was asked why people should watch me perform in Dubai: “I speak from heart with my voice & my sax of love for all people. We are one or should be one in unison. We should all be accepted.” My sincere prayers go out to the ones lost in the senseless shooting in Arizona. I pray for peace for all people and an awareness that transcends race, gender, political beliefs, and Nationality. I desire for us to serve each other with Love & Justice.

GRAMMY´SHey that´s right the Grammy´s are just around the corner, and its time to VOTE!
If you are a voting member of the Grammies please consider my new ALBUM "TRUE LOVE" for BEST POP Instrumental Album. Field 1 Category 10 VOTE 037 Something interesting- as I was scrolling through the entry list I noticed only 4 female names entered in the instrumental category out of a whopping 82 entries! I think its time for a change! Please be apart of making history, lets encourage more people to vote ☺ Most recently at a DOVE commercial interview when asked what I believe REAL BEAUTY is, my answer was "confidence in embracing our diversity". And as a young female Latin JAZZ musician I am embracing the future with LOVE and HOPE. Please click below to sample the music: www.jessyj.com Coming up this week: I´ll be your very special host DJ on Watercolors That´s Sirius XM channel 71.

Covergirl!Hi friends and Fam! I am so honored to be on the COVER of Saxophone journal Magazine coming out this OCTOBER!! you can pre-order your copy here !!!

David Gibson, Editor of Saxophone Journal, who is notoriously stingy when it comes to certifying saxophonists as talented, recently wrote, “Jessy J is truly a gifted and talented artist. You’ll notice I didn’t say musician. Musicians are more numerous than artists… Artists are human beings who demonstrate exceptional gifts and skills at what they do… Jessy does it all.” It’s just not possible to earn any higher accolade.

What a discovery!... smoky, intense, throaty, complex, and sexy. On top of the blowing, this girl can sing as well! This just might be the best all around contemporary jazz release of the year." ~contemporary jazz.com “increasing the boundaries of jazz both musically and demographically” ~Jazziz “revolutionizing jazz” as a young Latina ~ People Espanol To say that singer, composer and saxophonist Jessy J is a gifted artist, almost seems like an insignificant statement, in light of her exquisite debut album "Tequila Moon." She woos you in Spanish as she coos the words... and she seduces you subtly with soft and tender chords from her tenor sax..."~Jazz Police “Jessy J is able to serve up evocative phrases that transcend the jazz and pop genres” ~Jazz Police “From the opening track "Tequila Moon," until the last notes …Jessy J´s music will charm you and hold you as a willing captive under its enchanting spell. “ ~Jazz Police “pleasing melodies, sexy-sultry sound, jazz instincts come alive… flawless… This new talent has staying power.” ~Jazz times "Jessy´s cool tones, her hot saxophone licks and her lovely laid-back vocals and overall sensuality, TEQUILA MOON is one heck of a debut.

She soulfully caresses a supremely beautiful tone and feeling out of her instrument, whether it´s her tenor, soprano, flute or voice" ~Smoothjazz.com "...shows off an individual voice and a gift for melodic improvisation..." ~All Music Guide "This CD has a hot, exotic, latin feel to it & also provides us an in depth look into the talents of Ms. J!" ~Urban Music Scene "As I listen to TEQUILA MOON, I wonder if this is how I´d have felt on a first listen to, say, Boney James, or Dave Koz, or Grover Washington, Jr., and I´m thinking, "yes" because she´s that good! This is one of those cases where you just know… from the music and delivery to her personal drive and dedication to excellence… there is absolutely no stopping this empowered performer. Join us in watching her Smooth Jazz star rise to the absolute top! " -Smooth Jazz.com "Multi-talented...break through...dazzilng...special!

My day at the Grammy´sHello Everyone, The Grammy’s were such an Amazing experience!!! I was able to hang out with some of my favorite artist and hear music from the most talented performers of today. Here’s the shake down on the event activities: I flew in early Sunday morning from Las Vegas (after two shows with Michael Bolton at the House of Blues)…. ran home and got ready super quick. Then I proceeded to the Pre-Telecast (the events that you don’t see on TV, most of the Jazz Awards are recognized at this time), I had a fun time sitting with Steve Chapman and Ron Moss. And even had time to wish Gerald Albright and Earl Klugh good luck before their category nominations were presented (Best Pop Instrumental Album). After all these actives were finished we took a stroll over to the red carpet. And this is where all the fun began! We were just chillin and everyone walked right by… Coldplay, LL Cool J, Jay Z, Jonas Brothers, Neil Diamond. I mean my head was kinda spinning!!! We watched the Ceremony then headed over the to the Grammy After Party-that was a blast! Loved every moment.

IT'S BEEN A VERY GOOD YEAR FOR PEAK RECORDS!
Label is #1 (Beverly Hills, CA -- December 15, 2008) Top industry publications Billboard Magazine and Radio and Records both agree -- Peak Records is #1 and has been named #1 Smooth Jazz Imprint Label of 2008. Also topping their lists was the label's hot new recording artist, saxophonist Jessy J, whose title track from her debut CD, Tequila Moon, was named #1 Smooth Jazz Song of the Year. Peak Records also recently received two GRAMMY nominations--one for saxophonist Gerald Albright in the category of Best Pop Instrumental Album for SAX FOR STAX and Wayne Brady for Best Traditional R&B Vocal for the track, "A Change is Gonna Come," from his debut Peak Records CD - A LONG TIME COMING. Look for releases in 2009 by The Rippingtons, the collaboration of Marc Antoine and Paul Brown, All 4 One, Peter White, Will Downing, Paul Taylor, Jessy J and Norman Brown. Peak Records is a division of the Concord Music Group. # # # Sheryl Feuerstein SFPR/EastWest Media Saturday, December 13th, 2008 9:59 PM

Jessy www.jessyJ.com www.Myspace.com/JessyJSax New Reviews "...the best all around contemporary jazz release of the year" Contemporary Jazz. com by John Luciano April 2008 Tequila Moon Jessy J Wow! What a discovery! I was at the Berks Jazz Festival last week. Unfortunately, I was only able to spend two of the festival's ten days taking in music. Simultaneously I realized that Peak has released the debut of 26-year-old saxophonist Jessy J, who also was to appear at Berks as part of the Guitars & Saxes show. What a debut, from the opening throaty chords of "Tequila Moon," I knew I was going to like this woman. I'm not sure the last time I've gotten this excited over a debut by a young sax player. Jessy J, under the ever-watchful eye of Paul Brown, exhibits maturity on her instrument beyond her age. I can't help but make the comparison to Grover Washington, Jr. - and that's a good thing! The album Tequila Moon has a definite Latin lean to it, but in a very sophisticated, intense, contemporary jazz way. This album just feels different - unlike anything that's been released the last few years - smoky, intense, throaty, complex, and sexy. On top of the blowing, this girl can sing as well! This just might be the best all around contemporary jazz release of the year so far. http://www.contemporaryjazz.com/reviews/jessyj_tequilamoon.php "To say that singer, composer and saxophonist Jessy J is a gifted artist almost seems like an insignificant statement..." The Jazz Police by Joe Montague Tuesday, 22 April 2008 Jessy J Tequila Moon To say that singer, composer and saxophonist Jessy J is a gifted artist almost seems like an insignificant statement, in light of her exquisite debut album, Tequila Moon (Peak Records). She woos you in Spanish as she coos the words to Consuelo Velazquez´s "Besame Mucho" (with an arrangement by Paul Brown and Jessy J), and she seduces you subtly with soft and tender chords from her tenor sax, as she plays the title track, "Tequila Moon." On this CD, Jessy J also demonstrates her versatility as an artist by playing the flute ("Fiesta Velada") and the soprano saxophone ("Poetry Man," and "Running Away"). While Tequila Moon, released on March 4th, possesses a decidedly Spanish flavor, this is not an album featuring rapid-fire percussion beats, nor does it have heavy melody lines. It is instead a lighter fusion between Latin rhythms and melodic pop elements, but all the while retaining a jazz harmonic structure. Producer Paul Brown and the management of Peak Records surrounded Jessy J with seasoned and talented musicians, such as bassist Roberto Vally (formerly of Spyro Gyra), keyboardist Gregg Karukas, and two-time Grammy winner Brown, who in addition to acting as producer plays guitar on six of the tracks. Brown enjoyed hit songs while recording with Norman Brown ("Up And At ´Em"), Euge Groove ("Get ´Em Goin´") and Peter White ("What Does It Take [To Win Your Love]"). "Besame Mucho," written by Velasquez in 1940 while still in her mid-teens, has been covered by scores of legendary singers over the years, including José Carreras, Jaõ Gilberto, Carmen McRae, Edith Piaf and Nat King Cole. In recent years, the song has been covered by Diane Schuur, Diana Krall and Michael Buble. I am told that the words "Besame Mucho" can be translated as, "kiss me a lot," or "kiss me much," and with the lilt of Jessy J´s voice mirroring her physical beauty, it would not be surprising if one were to discover that numerous men at her concerts are singing the words to "Besame Mucho" back to her. Perhaps one of the prettiest love songs ever written, "Besame Mucho" is further enhanced by Jessy J´s eloquent phrasing, Vally´s tender bassline, and Brown´s elegant guitar chording. Listening to the twenty-six year old Jessy J weave magic with her soprano saxophone as she plays the lyrical "Running Away," which she co-wrote with Brown, and then opting for a tenor-voiced horn on Leon Russell´s "Song For You," one must ask the question: If she is already this good, how great can she become? Like Mindi Abair, Jessy J is able to serve up evocative phrases that transcend the jazz and pop genres, and in Jessy J´s case, she add some gentle Latin spices. From the opening track "Tequila Moon," until the last notes of "Song For You" fade gently into the twilight, Jessy J´s music will charm you and hold you as a willing captive under its enchanting spell. http://www.jazzpolice.com/content/view/7689/131/ Saturday, May 24th, 2008 1:34 PM

Musical prodigy Jessy J began her journey on the piano at age four, and she enjoyed an active career as a competitive artist, traveling to perform at major conferences, competitions, and festivals. By the age of 15 Jessy was named Piano State Champion, at the Bela Bartok festival in California. At the same time Jessy was also enjoying a successful saxophone career, performing in many state honor bands, including the Grammy Band, and international festivals like the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.
Fluent in Spanish, the Samba rhythms of Cannonball Adderley’s collaborations with Sergio Mendez awakened her Latin Roots. The “sound of the music” called to her and encouraged her to explore. As a teen she studied the recordings of Cannonball Adderley and a lifelong love affair with Jazz began. Jessy was accepted on scholarship to University of Southern California and graduated as the “Most Outstanding Jazz Student” of her class. Since then, she went on to tour the nation in various capacities and has served as member of the Henry Mancini Jazz Orchestra and the Hispanic Musician Association (HMA) Jazz Orchestra. Extending her skills from the dance floor, Jessy J danced and played in London and Japan with the Tony and Emmy award- winning company Blast! Intertwining various forms of creative expression was a natural fit for this vibrant artisan.
At 26, Jessy has already worked professionally with the World’s most popular artists including Jessica Simpson, Michael Buble, Burt Bacharach, the Temptations, and she is currently on tour with Michael Bolton playing sax and singing back up vocals.
Jessy’s extreme desire and ambitions have placed her on the “fast track” to success. She has recently finished a smooth jazz project produced by the “Baby Face of Smooth Jazz”, Paul Brown and was hand selected by musical genius Paquito D’Rivera to perform alongside him at Carnegie Hall for an event featuring “tomorrows star musicians”. Not only have these two multiple Grammy award winning artist sung her praise, she is currently being hailed as “Sexy, irresistible, sensible, the upcoming sax star, soulful, delightful, top notch, fresh, and terrific!”, on her latest performance with Paul Brown on his Peak recording debut “White Sand”.

His work with Arturo Sandoval and Irakere has always inspired my creative process of writing exciting and original music. Irakere was considered one of the first groups to play modern "Latin Jazz".

Beyonce AuditionLast week Beyonce Knowles announced that she would be holding a national audition for her all new female band. I auditioned here in Los Angeles at Center Staging in Hollywood while other women around the country in Houston, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, and New York/New Jersey were also auditioning. I was selected as the only saxophonist from the West Coast to fly to New York to audition for Beyonce, Jay Z, and many other recording executives. After an exhilarating and exhausting weekend of "jamming" with the best from around the country I feel so blessed and honored to have had such a wonderful experience! And I would like to thank Beyonce's staff and creative team for an unforgettable musical journey.
