BAJABA is a nonprofit organization of San Francisco "Bay Area Jazz and Blues Artists" spearheaded by radio/television producer Afrikahn Jahmal Dayvs. The purpose of BAJABA is to broaden recognition and aesthetic appreciation of music genres known as jazz/blues, by presenting and recording live showcases of artists performing the music and playing the recordings back on the radio. http://jzl1.wordpress.com/introduction/
Co-founder of LifeForce Jazz with the great Billy Higgins, SF saxophonist Dawan Muhammad has not only been creating and performing jazz, but quietly behind the scenes he has been organizing, documenting, producing to bring music back to the communities where jazz once flourished. http://www.dawanmuhammad.com
Fiery pianist Spencer Allen has performed and recorded with The Moody Blues, Kitty Margolis, Roy Hargrove, Noel Jewkes, Calvin Keys, Brad Buethe, Jeff Chambers, Peter Barshay, Babatunde Lea and others.

Although Joice Walton is known as a Jazz and Blues artist to fans in the U.S. and Europe, her acclaimed debut CD, 1994's Downsville Girl, and even more so on the follow-up album Texas Heat, the San Jose, California-based vocalist puts together blues, soul, jazz, rock and pop strains of American vernacular music in a seamless, multihued fabric. http://joicewalton.com
