JJ Slim is here to stay. Still number 1 after six months of listing on Australia's premier MP3.com site.

JJ Slim the Jazz and Blues duo from Southern California has successfully passed the six month mark of being #1 for Jazz Vocals on the Australian MP3.com site. They are averaging 300-500 streams/downloads every week. Since posting their music here http://www.mp3.com.au/jjslim, at the beginning of June 2003, there hasn't been a single week when they were not #1 on the Jazz-Vocals charts.

After six months of being listed on Australias premier MP3.com site, JJ Slim rolls on in the Number One position for Jazz Vocals. JJ Slim features Mark Siet on guitar, vocals, and JJ Slim on harmonica and vocals. They are a husband and wife duo who cooks the music like they making a finely sculpted meal with just the right seasoning, and all the right wines and combinations. The energy of their music beginning with their debut CD One Shining Star" is outstanding. Each song stands on its own in terms of passion and delivery. Their style feels like Jazz and Blues and then on their ballads you know you are in the middle of something special that comes from the heart and speaks always of love.
     Mark Siet, songwriter, guitarist and vocalist for JJ Slim tells us: "We're very excited about this kind of response. Sure we're getting lots of attention on other sites such as Vitaminic, Iuma, Besonic, but this degree of longevity is such a reality check. People keep listening and enjoying our songs. We're especially excited about the responses we get from all of our newest material. Song writing really is the key to good music and it helps that we are so prolific in this area. Right now we have posted our 1st CD "One Shining Star"(11 songs) along with three other CD works in progress, "Deeper Meanings" (9 songs), "Around the Corner" (5 songs), "Down Home Blues" (2 songs). It is the best kind of feedback whatsoever when a new song goes up there and instantly gets positive attention. The most amazing things happen. For example. We were laying down some tracks for a song we were working on and had just finished the vocals. I began playing a groove with the guitar, JJ came over and was riffing on the harmonica and I switched the recorder as we recorded, wrote and later that same day finished mixing the song (Walking Down the Aisle With You.) in one take. That's it! Then within 6 hours of writing the song we had a complete mix up on the Internet for our fans to listen to and were able to track its progress immediately. You can't get any better than this."
