In addition to that

i was explorin my hard drive hunting for music when i landed up with a folder which said smooth jazz. I remember a friend gave that to me when he was copying some of his stuff into mine ..well these songs were out of the ordinary . pretty similar to R&B but had a lot of jazz influence. Particularly a song by paul jackson jr drove me crazy .. it had a slow sleezy rhythm and a warm bassloop following the whole song. paul's casual guitar did everything else to make it "Inner city blues" which is the name of the song. blues fans !!! count me in .. am one of yours now.



Paul Jackson, Jr.
is a fusion composer, arranger, producer and guitarist. He was born and raised in los angeles . Jackson knew by the age of fifteen that he wanted to become a professional musician. Growing up in a musical family, his parents were supportive and as such, he attended the Univeristy of southern california, majoring in music.

If you had noticed, most of the successful people would have started working early on things which made them what they are today. This is something which is lacking in the mainstream of indian education. What we need to do is, start specializing very early and we would be masters of the game before we start making a living.
