We thought that such a long band moniker, of strange JAZZ/BEBOP/ECLECTIC nature, would either
catch attention - or at the least - our acronym "JBBQ" would be easier/easy to remember.

We do not play live as "JBBQ". (However, many of the musicians associated with JBBQ play live either professionally or in special concerts/performances around the world. All of our JBBQ music is strictly for Internet Play and/or
free song downloads - thanks to financial support from private/confidential
sponsors of JBBQ.)

This question has become obsolete! The business of music has already become Internet based via electronic entertainment gadgets and programs. The old "music industry" is a thing of the past - with the present and future of music recording, production, etcetera unlimited in myriad new ways restricted only by the imagination!!!

JBBQ has our own private Record Company, SILVER BAY RECORDS - but we have not chosen to market our music as long as our policy of free song downloads via the Internet remains possible due to outside sources of non-profit financial support.

The short of the long story is, other than founder/front man Dr. Bob (and rare other individual attribution), all of the JBBQ "Guys" (from quartet, sextet and even orchestra at times) choose to remain anonymous for various personal and professional musician/music business reasons (ranging from contractual to family to other restrictive matters). And members of JBBQ live in scattered areas of the world from France to England to Serbia to Germany to United States to elsewhere. Most of our music is
for small ensemble, but when we go Classical or require orchestral backing, we use other world class players/friends in various symphony orchestras. Concerning the basic JBBQ core group for Jazz related songs and other eclectic music, we get together as possible a few times a year
from Paris to London to Belgrade to Timbuktu. But it is difficult to arrange such music sessions. Thus, we mainly use Internet/Computers/Programs for collabortive songs or
"collabs" as commonly used for "making music long distance" via the Internet.

ALL of the GREAT music and musicians of the past to the present and into the future. Thus,
our JBBQ music is Eclectic of any Genre/Subgenre...and influences everything musically
possible in our largely improvisational playing and resulting recordings.

J'aime Paris, without any question! But after that, I/We love wherever I/We may be - from London to
New York to Small Rural Villages to Mountains to Seashores to Deserts. After all, home is where the heart is - and the heart of JBBQ is music which is found anywhere in this looney tune planet called Earth. THANK GOD FOR MUSIC - THE ECSTASY OF OUR SOULS...

You name it and we have probably used it at one time or another. Of course, all of the traditional musical instruments as well as many of the more non-traditional ranging from
ancient to modern including much of electronica. But the Computer and the Internet (as explained earlier in the info on "Band History") makes
JBBQ possible, as we know it.

AS ALL OF JBBQ MUSIC IS ALREADY COLLAB, WE DO NOT DO UNSOLICITATED SONG COLLABORATIONS. NATURALLY, AS WE FEEL THAT OUR "FINAL" VERSION OF A RECORDED
SONG IS COMPLETE, WE ALSO DO NOT PERMIT ANY OTHERS TO ADD THEIR MUSIC "TAKE" TO
JBBQ COPYRIGHTED MUSIC.
