Chris Barry, Director of Business Development at Thomas Legal, dropped by the WatkinSofa in late Summer 2024 to chat all things Estate Agency and Conveyancing. In this episode Chris talks about the broken relationship between Estate Agents, Conveyancers and Mortgage Arrangers.

It's Outer Wilds round two as we're joined by composer Andrew Prahlow. We start with some of our favorite video game soundtracks, then get into Andrew's object, a Fender Dual Professional. We go deep on how using an amp in a room can help create memories of music-making, what it means to access the history of a piece of musical equipment while creating your own history with it, and how non-traditional compositions like Jon Brion's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind inspired Andrew's approach to emotion in a soundtrack.For more info and to find Andrew's live dates: http://www.andrewprahlow.com/Buy yourself some OBNE: http://www.oldbloodnoise.comJoin the conversation in Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PhpA5MbN5uFollow us all on the socials: @andrewprahlow, @oldbloodnoise, @andyothling, @danfromdsfLeave us a voicemail at 505-633-4647!

Today we're joined by singer and multi-instrumentalist Courtney Swain, to talk about her first pedal: the Chase Bliss Blooper. We start with some voicemails about musical flubs because silly old Andy goofed the prompt in Discord, then move into the beginnings of Courtney's pedal journey and how it opened up her creative practice. We talk about processing voice through pedals, the different ways Courtney and Andy use Blooper and other Chase Bliss pedals, blending of effects in parallel, how the aesthetic of a pedal designer can inform the aesthetic of a performer, and how creativity isn't a well to dry up but a self-sustaining ecosystem. It's a big one, get into it!For more info and to find Courtney's music: https://www.courtneyswain.com/Buy yourself a MAW or Signal Blender: http://www.oldbloodnoise.comJoin the conversation in Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PhpA5MbN5uFollow us on the socials: @chourtkneey, @oldbloodnoise, @andyothling, @danfromdsfLeave us a voicemail at 505-633-4647!

This week I am *on location* in the Nashville office of Musicnotes.com to talk with the hosts of their brand new podcast "Behind the Notes," Lucas Koehler and Jillian Shively! In addition to their podcasting duties, Lucas works for Musicnotes as a Product Management Specialist and Jillian as a Content & Production Assistant. They had a lot of great insights to share from their years of helping composers (like myself) publish their music. Composers, Arrangers, and Songwriters can visit the Musicnotes Marketplace to sell their scores on the Musicnotes website, and artists on YouTube can also look in to becoming a Musicnotes Signature Artist. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/garrett-breeze/support

9 - 28 - 23 EGG ARRANGERS by Maine's Coast 93.1

Current arrangers including Oliver Nelson Jr., Steve Turre, Maria Schneider, Dave Rivello, and Lisa Parrott share their philosophies about music software, deadlines and enabling other musicians to sound good.

In the early days of jazz, musicians engaged in group improvisations, creating arrangements on the fly. As bands became larger, the writing down of parts for individual players became a requirement. Present and past jazz arrangers including Stefon Harris, Mike Abene, Ray Conniff, Bill Holman and Frank Foster speak about their craft.

Valley native Josué Eduardo López shares his musical journey and how he became a musical arranger.  

My 2002 BBC Radio 2 documentary series, “The Arrangers”, featured this documentary and my exclusive interview with Composer/Arranger PETE RUGOLO. He studied with Darius Milhaud, and had a long association with the STAN KENTON orchestra, becoming one of the most influential composers in modern jazz. He went on to produce and arrange for stars such as June Christy, The Four Freshmen and Nat King Cole, and write brilliant scores for film and TV including The Fugitive, The Untouchables, and Richard Diamond. As A&R for Capitol, he signed and produced the Miles Davis project known as “The Birth of the Cool”, enabling music that created the “cool school” of jazz. Here is his fascinating story, in his own words, assisted by contributions from Gene Lees, Stephanie Stein Crease, and Bud Shank. PETE RUGOLO – EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW – Kenton, Cole and MILES!

In 2001 I wrote and presented two series of “The Arrangers” for BBC Radio 2, examining the creators of iconic sounds in jazz & pop. The fascinating story of HERB ALPERT & the Tijuana Brass is told in interviews with Alpert and his musicians, John Pisano, Bob Edmondson, and Pat Senatore. The music is sometimes dismissed, but the band had fifteen #1 albums, many hit singles and became the 4th biggest selling act of their time – a time that included The BEATLES!

In 2001, I wrote and presented a documentary series for BBC Radio 2, “The Arrangers” produced by @elizabethclark. It featured Robert Farnon, Neal Hefti, Herb Alpert, Stan Kenton, Quincy Jones, Pete Rugolo and Mexican arranger/composer JUAN GARCIA ESQUIVEL. His daring, explosive, utterly original arrangements fueled by jazz, pop, film and loaded with instrumental effects, led to a new style in the 1960s: SPACE AGE POP or SPACE AGE BATCHELOR PAD.

Quotes from Violet Stevenson and Gertrude Jekyll.

NEAL HEFTI was one of the most original and influential composers and arrangers of the 20th Century. Beginning as arranger for Woody Herman he went on to composing and arranging for Count Basie and Frank Sinatra. He wrote for film (The Odd Couple, Barefoot In The Park, Harlow, Sex & The Single Girl) and for TV (the phenomenal success of his “Batman” theme). I wrote and hosted this show for my BBC Radio 2 series “The Arrangers” in 2001 (produced by Elizabeth Clark) and am happy to make this available for a new audience.

Aaron and Drew continue their discussion about common arranging mistakes by talking about some common issues that arise while voicing chords or orchestrating for an ensemble.   Edited by Thomas Lahren (https://www.thomaslahrenmusic.com/)

Edited by Thomas Lahren (https://www.thomaslahrenmusic.com/) www.vincemendoza.net One of the most versatile and prolific composer–arranger–conductors of the last two decades, multi-Grammy Award winner Vince Mendoza has written arrangements for a wide variety of pop and jazz artists, from Joni Mitchell, Sting, Melody Gardot, Elvis Costello and Bjork to Joe Zawinul, John Scofield, Charlie Haden, Al Di Meola, Dave Liebman, Randy Brecker, the Yellowjackets and the GRP All-Stars. His compositions have appeared on recordings by the likes of saxophonist Joe Lovano, guitarist John Abercrombie, drummer Peter Erskine, pianist Joey Calderazzo and singer Kurt Elling. As a leader, Mendoza has released 10 recordings for the Blue Note, ACT, Blue Jackel and Zebra labels, including 1997's Epiphany (with the London Symphony Orchestra) and 2011's Nights on Earth, featuring an all-star cast and members of the Metropole Orkest, which Mendoza has led as chief conductor for the past six years. Vince was honored with a Grammy Award for his work on the John Scofield “54” album on Emarcy records. It is his 6th Grammy and 34th nomination. He was also nominated by the Jazz Journalists Association as “arranger of the year”.

Aaron and Drew go over common arranging mistakes and what we can learn from them. Part one deals with errors and pitfalls in the general conception of an arrangement. Edited by Thomas Lahren (https://www.thomaslahrenmusic.com/)

Edited by Thomas Lahren (https://www.thomaslahrenmusic.com/) Earl MacDonald's seemingly inexhaustible commitment to the jazz art form is apparent in his performing, composing and teaching.

A recipient of the Sammy Nestico Award for outstanding big band arranging, MacDonald has released five albums as a bandleader; two of which earned JUNO nominations for jazz album of the year. For his chamber jazz explorations on “Mirror of the Mind”, MacDonald was described as “a magical, musical alchemist of hip hybrids” (Owen McNally, Hartford Courant). Similarly, his large ensemble project, “Re:Visions” was touted as having “gone beyond where most big bands go, establishing Earl MacDonald as a major force in the world of jazz composition” (Dan Bilawsky, AllAboutJazz.com).

This episode of the Bainbridge Pod Accomplice features song selections from Ranger and the “Re-Arrangers” as well as a chat with Ranger and his Dad, Mike. Ranger and the “Re-Arrangers” evoke the spirit of a Paris cafe and the raucous energy of a Gypsy campsite with their version of Gypsy jazz. “At the heart of their sound is Ranger Sciacca's sweet violin playing… his sense of melody and daring improvisations” (World Rhythm). The band’s repertoire includes swing standards, traditional Gypsy melodies, the music of Django Reinhardt, and Ranger's unique originals. Ranger and his father Michael formed the band in 2006, after a pilgrimage to the world’s foremost Gypsy Jazz event, the Django Reinhardt festival in Samois Sur Seine, France. The band has now released 4 CDs and performs over 100 times each year at music festivals, concerts in the park, swing dances, weddings and events of all sorts.  Past Shows have included Edmonds Concert in the Park, Seattle Art Museum, Djangofest Northwest, Best of the Northwest Arts Festival, Highline Classic Jazz Festival, Ethnic Fest Tacoma, and Vin du Lac Winery (Chelan). The band includes Ranger Sciacca (Violin), Dave Stewart (Mandolin), Mick Nicholson (Bass), Jeffrey Moose (Percussion), and Mike Sciacca (Rhythm Guitar).

After winning their 2nd DCI world championship in 1995 with their show ‘The Planets,’ The Cavaliers drum & bugle corps fell to 4th in 1996 and dropped to 7th place with their 1997 production, “The Firebird.” The lowest the corps had finished since finishing 8th in 1984. The Cavies then moved back up to 4th place in 1998 and then received the bronze medal in 1999 with their show, “Classical Innovations.” That 1999 show also saw The Chicago Cavaliers taking home their fourth High Percussion Award in the history of the corps, all in the 1990s. In the year 2000… a design team came together that would come to dominate DCI for the better part of the next decade. Led by program coordinator Scott Koter, Michael Gaines designed the drill, Richard Saucedo composed & arranged the brass book, and Bret Kuhn & Erik Johnson composed & arranged the battery & front-ensemble books. The 2000 production, “Niagara Falls,” featured music from and inspired by Niagara Falls by Michael Daugherty, and Waves, from Soundings by Cindy McTee as well as original music by Saucedo, Kuhn, & Johnson. The 2000 season ended with The Cavaliers of Rosemount, IL winning their 3rd DCI world championship, in a tie with The Cadets, as well as winning the John Brazale Best Visual Performance Award, the George Zingali Best Color Guard Performance Award, and the Fred Sanford Best Percussion Performance Award. Joining me today are future DCI Hall of Famers Bret Kuhn and Erik Johnson. Bret served as Caption Head and Percussion Arranger for the Cavaliers who won 6 World Championships and 5 High Percussion Awards during his tenure. From 1995 to 2005 and 2008 to 2010, Erik Johnson was on the instructional staff serving on the design team as the front ensemble arranger and coordinator. On this episode of Musicbook, we discuss The Cavaliers’ 2000 production, “Niagara Falls.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sketchbookpodcast/message

Argue made his mark with his critically acclaimed 2009 debut Infernal Machines. 2013 saw the release of Brooklyn Babylon, which, like Infernal Machines before it, earned the group nominations for both GRAMMY and JUNO Awards. His most recent recording, Real Enemies, released in the fall of 2016, earned a third consecutive GRAMMY nomination and has been praised as “wildly discursive, twitchily allusive, a work of furious ambition… deeply in tune with our present moment” by The New York Times' Nate Chinen.

The last (and bonus) episode in this 10-part mini series on music copyrights, Achille tells us about the role of a music producer in the copyright system. Unfortunately it is not very good news for them so far. But we are hopeful that they too will get some income from the songs they work for. Listen to Achille talk about the on-the-ground reality.

In Episode 10, we discuss our processes for writing arrangements. When we started out as organists, we never realized that our work would involve arranging, and we share a little bit of that journey and how we go from an idea to a final product.Jonny's video on organizing your content ideas and executing them: https://youtu.be/52Nt5FWGwo4My Sheet Music Transcriptions (MSMT) Website:https://www.mysheetmusictranscriptions.com/Send us your topic suggestions for future episodes with the following email address (and don't forget to put in the subject line "Suggestions" when doing so): organmavericks@gmail.comRob Hlebinsky's Social Media:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/YensidOrganistFacebook/Twitter/Instagram: @YensidOrganistJonny Selimovic's Social Media:YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/JonnyMusicChannelFacebook/Instagram: @jonnyselproductionsTwitter: @Jonny_Sel

This week I'm continuing with a listener's request from a few months ago. He wanted me to do a few shows on some of the Big Band arrangers. A few months ago I did a show on Sy Oliver and today we are focusing on Eddie Sauter. Eddie wrote some fantastic arrangements for Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Ray McKinley and a few others. Sometimes Eddie's arrangements were too sophisticated and Benny would alter them. One of his best arrangements was done for saxophonist Stan Getz for the album Focus. I hope you enjoy this look at one of the greatest arrangers of the big band era, Mr. Eddie Sauter. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com

As we begin the new year, I would like to honor a listener's request. He asked me to do a couple of shows on the big band arrangers. So today we are going to be listening to some of those fantastic arrangments by Sy Oliver. During the Big band era, Sy spent his career with two bands, Jimmie Lunceford and Tommy Dorsey. I decided to play a lot of the hits of Sy's from those two bands. So we start today with Sy Oliver and in the weeks to come I'll be looking at some of the other great arrangers like Eddie Sauter, Fletcher Henderson, and Bill Finegan. I hope you enjoy the music and thanks for listening. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com

Aaron and Drew give 10 ideas for taking your music from your brain to the music community. Whether it's furthering your career as a writer or finding ways to improve or share with others, here are 10 ways that you can break into the scene. 1. Write every Day! It's just like practicing, the more you do it the better you get Even if it's terrible, forcing yourself to write helps you overcome writers block 2. Listen, expand your ear, always search for new sounds/genres/inspiration Everything else below relies on your ability to be a good musician/have a skilled trade Transcription and inspiration Stay inspired and keep learning from other people's music Push your musical boundaries 3. Study with a great Arranger/get a mentor Go to college Offer to be an assistant/help out Buy lunch for someone (we won't say no) 4. Start your own band Doesn't have to be big band or 4tet - think creatively! Write for the musicians you know, write to their strengths Common thread in interviews is that at some point successful writers got a group together to play their music 5. Record and share your creations Don't wait to write something, just do it and do it again. YouTube and Soundcloud – worked for Jacob Collier Social Media People often hire those who they have recently interacted with or seen their work, so if you shared a video or recording, you're putting yourself in people's minds 6. Website/Demo Reel Mention that a website almost never gets you a gig.  Being referred TO a website from a friend/a tune they heard already helps establish your credibility/competence in the craft 7. Network/Develop relationships - musicians/school directors/write for friends Never underestimate the power of a good hang Going into networking with something to show people is key CD, website, youtube, soundcloud, business card, portfolio, just something to give them Often times I'll look up someone and they don't have a website, and I have no way to gauge their music or who they are 8. Enter competitions ie. Downbeat, Detroit Festival, ASCAP Don't expect to win, just realize it's an opportunity to grow and enter the broader community/see where you stand in the global picture/get feedback Also good to force you to write something 9. Join music organizations (Composers Forum/ASCAP/BMI/Union/G.A.N.G.) Grants, competitions, and social events are often set up through these types of organizations. 10. Find your niche No two people are identically talented, you have a musical skill set that will set you apart Depending on your location or community you might have access to unique opportunities

This week we continue our look at the arrangers. The arranger has a vast store of musical knowledge and uses it to take 15 to 20 musicians and create a musical masterpiece. They decide who plays when, what section is playing, who takes a solo and much more. Benny Goodman had a lot of the great arrangers working for him in the 1930's so I thought it would be interesting to focus on his band's hits and see who they were arranged by. We'll be hearing arrangements by Mel Powell, Eddie Sauter, Fletcher Henderson and more. I hope you will tune in. Please visit this podcast at http://www.fgmiller.com/bbb/

The subject of this podcast is the local "gypsy jazz" band -- Ranger and the 'Re-arrangers'. They evoke the spirit of a Paris cafe and the raucous energy of a gypsy campsite. At the heart of their sound is Ranger Sciacca's violin.  The band's repertoire includes swing standards, traditional gypsy melodies, the music of Django Reinhardt, and Ranger's unique originals. Ranger and his father Michael formed the group in 2006, after returning from a Django Reinhardt festival in France. In the years since, the band has released 3 CDs and played over 500 shows. Violinist Ranger Scacca is at the heart of their sound. He and his father are descendants of Sicilian immigrants who played jazz in New York early in the 20th century. Ranger began playing violin at the age of six. The band includes two guitarists including his father Michael, a percussionist, bassist, and 5-string mandolin. Ranger and the 'Re-Arrangers' will be performing on Bainbridge on Friday, March 6th at the Island Gallery, 400 Winslow Way East, during the 6-8pm  ArtWalk. No charge. Then, at 7pm on Saturday, March 21st, they will perform at BIMA -- the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art auditorium. This performance will also feature renowned guitarist Neil Andersson. In 1993, Andersson co-founded the seminal gypsy jazz band Pearl Django, eventually recording 10 albums with the group. He is one of the Northwest's premier guitarists, and was elected to the Northwest Music Awards Hall of Fame. The BIMA concert will feature selections from the Ranger and the 'Re-arrangers' repertoire of American swing standards, traditional gypsy melodies, and the music of Django Reinhardt. Violinist Ranger Sciacca will provide the counterpoint to Andersson's guitar. Admission is by donation and space is limited. For reservations, email the band. Find information on the band's website.

Working with Dance Arrangers: In April 2010, Edie Cowan moderated an hour-long roundtable discussion with Broadway choreographers Kathleen Marshall and Jerry Mitchell and dance arrangers David Chase and Mark Hummel. They discuss the role of the dance arranger, who works with the choreographer to take what the composer has written and changes it to fit the choreographer's vision of each dance. Jerry Mitchell talks about choreographing a dance for The Full Monty before hearing the music and then having the arranger fit music to it, while some choreographers will have the dance arranger write something before choreographing anything. Other topics include period research, the involvement of the composer, and the role of estates in revivals. The nature of collaboration is at the heart of this lively discussion along with anecdotes from a dozen Broadway shows. Originally recorded - April 1, 2010. Running Time - 1:00:04 © 2010 SDCF
