What did you submit? Can we hear it?I didn't have time to go for any of the jazz/swing ones. The only jazz piano piece I have right now I'm holding back because a library is interested in it.I'm also writing a big orchestral piece and trying to do an epic/electronica piece for the sports listings (oh, and walk the dog, clean the kitchen, pay the bills )Good luck! I think your stuff is better than you think it is!!Mazz

Oh, that's jes bad. Can I hear your orchestral/epic pieces? I wanted to go for that too but it takes me a very long time to write something like that. I was itchin' ta do it though. I'd love to hear yours when you're done. Good luck!!I don't think mine's gonna fly. They wanted updated swing but I think I missed it.......it's more like the Bus Boys meet the Lennon Sisters. On crack. http://www.broadjam.com/player/player.as....ionI NDEX=13102Be gentle.

I really liked the piece! I missed the bass, the piano left hand was boogying but wasn't full enough. What was the listing specifically asking for?Here's a link to an orchestral piece I did late last year. My piece in progress is more of a march:http://www.johnmazzei.com/song/46Have fun and good luck!Mazz

Wow, Mazz!! I'd pepper you with questions but how annoying would that be? It was wonderful!! I'd be drooling over a Harry Potter soundtrack like that. (actually, I think I just did... ). Beautiful job. I hope you'll let me hear the anthemic one you're writing ala Gladiator. I'm such a sucker for that kind of thing..Here's the listing and you'll see immediately why I won't get the forward (beyond the obvious technical problems).....Fun, up-tempo, rockin’ “RETRO SWING” BIG BAND/SWING JAZZ SONGS [with vocals - no instrumentals] a la Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, the Brian Setzer Orchestra, the Squirrel Nut Zippers, etc. are needed by a large Music Publisher/Production/Producer Mgmt. Co. that has offices in Los Angeles and Europe. They want to find amazing tracks to pitch to film/TV/advertising projects - both in the U.S. and internationally. They’re not looking for Glenn Miller Big Band Swing -- your stuff has to rock. Of course, the bands mentioned above have all been influenced by Glenn Miller [and Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, etc.], but the company wants an updated, fresh take on Swing. Vocal and instrumental performances of the highest quality are needed. (I tried to funk it up vocally but I don't think it was enough!) We’ve been asked to be very selective, as they want “the best of the best.” No uncleared samples of any kind and you must own 100% of your song’s rights [publishing & master rights]. They offer an array of publishing deals -- exclusive, non-exclusive, etc. Broadcast quality needed [great sounding home recordings are OK]. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS ONLY - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI. For ground submissions, please enclose a S.A.S.E. if you would like a response. As always, we will notify everyone via e-mail, whether your submissions have been Forwarded or Returned. Submissions must be received no later than 4:00 PM, Pacific Standard Time (California time), Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2007. TAXI # D070918RS Write more! Write more!You've got a big fan here. Squids

Uh, I wouldn't count this one out for this listing! Those bands mentioned have all done pieces like yours at one time or another. If it gets returned, I would say maybe the production was holding it back, if anything.Thanks for listening. I may have to cool it on the listings for a while, my TV gig is just ramping up again and those people won't wait!Take care and keep the faith!Mazz
