Gerald, it's your fellow bassist Robert Gilmore. Nate McGriff
says to say hello to you also. I just wanted to let you know
that the "Live @ the Jazz Base" is a phenomenal work and we all
love it. My wife & I, along with a few other couples are
planning an overnight stay at the Sheraton Hotel so that we can
see you perform. The last time was at Zanzibar Blue. We'll try
to notify you of the date so that we can visit. God Bless you &
the family, and peace be with you.

I was shocked and very upset to hear that
WJJZ is no longer a smooth Jazz station. The more I think about
this the more I feel as though I can pull this off. I am trying
to find out I (though my resources are limited) can start a jazz
station of my own here in Philadelphia. It is not an easy task I
would like to speak to Michael Tozzi personally to find out what
steps need to be taken to do this. I really love Jazz and for
Philly not to have a station of its own is just criminal...

Hi Gerald, I
have a concern that I want to share with you. Recently the
Delaware Valley has lost the only smooth jazz station (I believe
there has ever been
– since 1993). That station kept us up to date as to when you
would be in the area so we could support you and your fellow
musicians. My husband and I as well as our friends went to see
you at Smithbridge Cellars, to Penns Landing to Zanzibar Blue we
even spoke with you at the Hotel at Reading this past July).
Have you given any thought or discussed with your musical
counterparts how can this void be filled? How will you and
others promote your music, new CD's etc in our area? How will
our young ones get in touch with the "music"? Wilmington, DE is
waiting for you to start your own station, and share with the
Delaware Valley.

I played the acoustic guitar when I was 10
years old until I was 12. I quit playing because I became
involved in sports. I turned 40 in April and I will be buying a
bass guitar this weekend. I will have to practice a lot, but in
those 30 years that have passed, my passion for playing never
went away. Everytime I'm in my car and I hear a song, I always
adjust the bass volume to the max. Thank you for your
inspiration! I would love to come to your boot camp in March
'07.
God Bless,

Hello Mr. Veasley, I come to you as a
student wondering if I could get some feedback on the "new" song
by Chingy, made after Jaco's legendary "Portrait of Tracy".
Personally I'm distraught and shocked as to how and why he came
upon the rights to use the line from the song. Your input would
be greatly appreciated. Dylan

month on AA flight 1004 from Chicago-Phil on April 27. I was
sitting on the other side of the Cirque musical director (Jim?).
We dicussed private lesson and the possibility of creating an
instructional DVD. Beside being an amateur bassists, I also have
27 years w/IBM and would be interested in discussing ideas on
how we could create a top notch DVD for bass players. I don't
think that has been properly done before. Best way to reach me

Gerald, My husband love to play the bass. He is the bass player
in our church. He has a walnut Ken Smith. He says that he would
like to take out the jucie on that bass like it's suppose to. I
think he plays great but he says that he would love to go to a
school to learn techniques. What he knows is becuase he is a
good listener and because God gaved him the talent. Looking in
the website I found out that you recently had a bass boot camp.
(This would have been great for him to go!!!!) When will you
have another bootcamp? Do you know of any other place where he
can be taught the basics for a week or weekend??? Thanks for
your time in reading my email. Hope to read from you soon. God
bless your talent.

Gerald; I understand you met a co-worker of mine at your recent
boot camp. Her name was Pam Ford and she tried to jog your
memory about the class of 1973 of John Bartram High. My name
then was Amanda Byrd and we played in the orchestra together. I
played the viola and Joan Washington played the violin. I hope
this jogs the memory. Just wanted to drop you a few lines and
let you know that I really enjoy your music and I am proud of
you. Drop me a few lines when you get a minute.

gerald I am a good friend of your wife roxanne and i was
recently with her to help celebrate her birthday thursday. I
have a son who is a self taught pianist and aside from him
creating his own songs he has a true love for jazz. His name is
Riyad and at 10yrs old has managed to not only play from memory
he constantly adlibs and composes his own songs without even
trying. He has had some training because I felt it necessary
that he learn to read music but I feel that he needs some other
type of training leaning more to jazz as opposed to classical.
roxy has told me about your boot camp but I wanted to know aside
from bass players is there any chance of your camp extending out
more towards children intrested in the piano. If not could you
help me find an affordable teacher in the jazz field preferably
a male teacher to help my son grow in this talent he has been
blessed with.

don't know how it came to be that we never met. I'm 49 years old
and I'm a friend of Webb Thomas'. I knew Jamaaladeen when he
Rudy. Jamaaldeen and I both played with a guitarist from North
Philly back in the day named Joey Jones. My band was called Red
Sun LTD. Jamaaladeen was nice enough to let me sit in when he
was playing at Warm Daddy's (I play the bass too!) Webb let me
listen to the rough cut of the recording you guys made with the
bass quartet in Germany (May 2005). Hopefully one day you'll get
to hear me play. Peace.
