jazz standards

Post by mazz » Thu May 29, 2008 6:27 pm

A few years ago my wife and I did an album of jazz standards with some of the Bay Area's finest. Since I did a lot of the arrangements, it felt right to submit to this dispatch listing, since listings for standards don't come around every day:JAZZ STANDARDS FROM THE ‘40s and ‘50s are wanted by a West Coast Publisher for numerous TV projects on their plate. This particular company has signed and placed dozens of TAXI songs over the past several years. They’re interested in hearing both traditional sounding arrangements, as well as a more contemporary sound. You can submit songs with vocals (male and female) and/or instrumentals. Regardless of the approach you take with these standards, the overall performance and sound quality must be excellent.Here's the submissions:http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... njoy!!Mazz

imagine if John Williams and Trent Reznor met at Bernard Hermann's for lunch and Brian Eno was the head chef!

All mine too. 5 other returns as well. Not a great day @ Steve's studio at all. Shall we commiserate over a cold one, in November? Jun 11, 2008, 9:39am, mazz wrote:All three returned. Better luck next time!Mazz

I didn't get any forwards to that listing tho, Ponch. I don't think Mazz did either. To quote a standard, "That's Life."
