Bio
Grégoire Maret has become the most sought after harmonica player behind legends Toots Thielemans and Stevie Wonder. Influenced by both, Maret has managed to find his own voice on the instrument. His capability to play almost anything has created a steady flow of collaboration with musicians from the jazz, pop, rock, funk & R&B worlds, who call upon Maret's mastery to add the sound element unique to him. Born May 13, 1975 in Geneva, Switzerland to a Swiss father and American mother, Maret began his musical career as a harmonica player at age 17. He attended Geneva's prestigious Collège de Saussure and the Superior Conservatory of Music. 1995, he made the critical decision to move to New York City and pursue his studies at the New School For Social Research, Jazz Program, where he graduated with a BA in Music 1998 and has been on the move ever since.

TANKISM'S are back, ias:) http://TankJones.com
I was reminded this week, the right attitude in any situation is EVERYTHING. Whatever attitude we express most often in any situation, the more situations we are given to express that attitude in.
So, if you're happy, excited, loved and blessed most of the time, more situations will be given to you to express those emotions.
But if you are sad, frustrated, angry and defeated all the time...
It was a great reminder for me. Maybe it'll help someone you know. Have a wonderful 2nd quarter! :)
thank you so much for the add and welcome to the Party Of The Century, probably the most spectacular music record project ever happened. Two years of intense work all around the world, 30 of the world's most influential and legendary musicians put together by the tireless enthusiasm of the young talent Giorgio Onorato Aquilani. Please take your time and visit the official website www.giorgiosound.com and get to discover more about this incredible adventure! Thank youuuuuuuuuu!
Nice to see you here!
Jammit is an app where you can solo the instruments of your favorite songs. We are a team of engineers, mixers and musicians. We started Jammit because we got together and saw a need for musicians to have software like this.
After a couple years of development and talking labels into allowing the raw tracks to be released, we have taken the separate tracks of famous songs and formatted them for your IPhone and Ipod Touch. We are currently developing other platforms like the desktop app.
Solo the track, learn with the scrolling music and hear exactly how players like Ritchie Blackmore played the part....all from the original master tapes, no re-records.
Frank Gryner and Chris Baseford (Rob Zombie engineers, mixers) have started a blog forum on here where you can have dialogue with them, no stuffy gap between anyone anymore.
Best to you!
The Jammit Team
