Jazz/Pop Songs Needed

ORIGINAL, VINTAGE JAZZ/POP SONGS Recorded in the 1960’s or before are needed by the CEO of a Music Licensing Company that’s building a new catalog for Film, TV, Video Game, and TV Commercial placements. This active and fast-growing Music Library is looking for authentic sounding, Mid-to-Up Tempo Jazz/POP Songs in the stylistic range of the following references:

“Fly Me To The Moon” by Doris Day
“L-O-V-E” by Nat King Cole
“I put a spell on you” by Nina Simone

NOTE: There’s some debate as to whether some of the references are truly Jazz. Wikipedia says 2 out of 3 are, but we think you would have found these songs on Pop charts back in that era. In any case, this company isn’t looking for music that’s exactly like the references, so much as music that could have been heard at a party back in that era. If you’ve got anything that dates back to that era, and conjures up images of skinny black ties and martinis, you might have just what they need!

Please submit original, well-crafted Jazz/Pop songs with solid musicianship and awesome vocals. You can submit old masters or demos for this pitch. The recording quality is not expected to be on par with today’s broadcast quality! They’re much more interested finding music that sounds authentic to the time period!

Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split all upfront sync fees 50/50. They’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Monday, May 1st, 2017. TAXI #Y170501VJ
