Question about track length - Smooth Jazz Listing

[mrdtman]

The listing in question does not have anything about track length. I know for most cues I see there will usually be some kind 2-3 minute clarification in the listing. I have some songs in this genre that are professionally recorded but are over 2-3 minutes. Think it would be OK to submit for this listing. Clarification would be great.

ORIGINAL SMOOTH JAZZ INSTRUMENTALS are needed for several $300, Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Producer placements in a food-based documentary on PBS. Please send them sophisticated, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Smooth Jazz Instrumentals that you’d expect to hear in the background of an upscale, cosmopolitan restaurant. Artists like (but not limited to) Dave Koz, Fourplay, David Sanborn, etc., etc., etc. are some good examples of the general style and vibe needed for this show.

“You Make Me Smile” by Dave Koz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peJX8F_8DqA

“101 Eastbound” by Forplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwBpGU8RY3A

“Rikke” by David Sanborn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jxoHBCzS2E

Please submit mood-setting Smooth Jazz Instrumentals with solid musicianship and a classy vibe from start to finish. Solos are welcome, but please avoid anything that sounds too busy or frenetic, as it could distract from the show’s dialog or voiceover. Great instrument sounds are important for this pitch, so please don’t use any dated or synthy-sounding samples or virtual instruments. If you can add a real player, playing a real instrument for the solo, even better! Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists/acts or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

Give them at least two minutes, since this is a cue I'd stick to a melody form and repeat it once, for a total of two choruses. The track I'm working on is 2:50, it has a standard 4 bar intro, the form is A-B-A, then a short solo, then B-A, out.

Hope that helps.

Guess I got some editing to do then. These tracks are pre-recorded and are at least 5 minutes long...
