Hi Friend,
I have a question for you!
Have you ever wondered what a Producer is?
They have them in the film industry, in classical music, and in musical theatre... but in Jazz ?
~ Well yes! And we've decided we REALLY need some Producers for THIS show!
Read on - never know, it MIGHT interest you to find out!
Whats so different about this show?
As opposed to getting a band together, practicing the music then doing the gig - this show "A Rhapsody of Gershwin" didn't exist even a month ago.. There was no music.. Everything about this show needed to be created fresh for the very first time.
I've created this baby from the ground up - beginning with a single idea, followed by a stack of research & listening, writing and arranging, then learning and practicing.
One of the biggest "physical" things I needed to create for this new show was a Library of music. A catalog of songs, arranged and scored for the six-piece band. This has all been handled by a professional Copyist - I write, I scribble down notes, I sing or play into a voice memo, or record a video of myself playing and explaining - send - and they notate it into the music software, score and arrange for the instruments, creating the library of music that will be "A Rhapsody of Gershwin"..
But what has this got to do with Producing ??
