Artist description Brian Jett's musical endeavors started off rather oddly and at age 14 wherein he was given a classical guitar and three lessons learning Rock & Roll. This clearly was not a good match and it was no coincidence that an Earl Klugh album (jazz guitarist) would be his first jazz album his mother purchased for him when he was 16 years old. After "...hours in the basement...", his love of jazz and R & B became a passion and has afforded him some unique opportunities most recently doing session work as a studio musician. Brian has played with many fine jazz artists to include Jack McDuff (B-3 Jazz Organist) and through agents, anticipates his compositions to be performed by R & B artists in the near future. His musical pursuits are focused on making music from poetry and it is starting to unfold very nicely. I hope you enjoy the lyrics as much as I enjoy them with Brian's R & B smoothness melodically. Real Audio to a few of the tunes below and those which will be added shortly should be available by late spring of 2003. Hangtough!~David Rich (Musical Site Editor).
