Achievements
Two new jazz podcasts have been added with a Classical music podcast in the works. They have partnered with some of the most influential jazz media including the Max. M. Fisher Music Center, WRCJ-FM, Cliff Bells and the Detroit Jazz Festival. Recently, Jazzstage Productions began hosting live performances. They successfully brought Randy Napoleon, (then guitarist for Michael Bublé, now for Freddy Cole) to Cliff Bell's. The packed audience included Linda Yohn (program director at WEMU-FM), Mark Stryker (The Detroit Free Press music critic) and many of Detroit's top jazz musicians. To celebrate the 28th Detroit International Jazz Festival, they brought Michigan's first Poet Laureate, M.L. Liebler's Magic Poetry band and the Northwood Improvisers to Cliff Bell's. In partnership with WRCJ-FM, Bop Culture performed at Southfield Michigan's Arturo's. DJS cosponsored the Jazz Talk tent at the Detroit Jazz Festival for the second year.

Famous quotes containing the word achievements:
“Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
“Like all writers, he measured the achievements of others by what they had accomplished, asking of them that they measure him by what he envisaged or planned.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements, and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
