OK So until now we are 26 on this
It's time to setup the framework.

I suggest that
- we get open about what means Jazz Influenced, so it can go from electro jazz to smooth jazz, funk jazz , jazz standard etc... Even Swing and Foxtrot so Andrew can be in : )

- Apart of this we have to set a reasonable timing. What about 2 month ?

 

Little something, pretty straightforward tutorial on how-to-write Jazz composition for Pop songwriters. Lol, that's me.

Thought I share it here in case anyone on the same boat needed for a start. I've no idea how jazz works, really, but haha let's give it a try.

Jazz Part 1 http://www.timusic.net/debreved/jazzpart1/

Jazz Melody and Voicing Part 2 http://www.timusic.net/debreved/jazz-melody-and-voicing-part-2/

 

FINALLY!!! IM IN!!!

 

I'm interested......not proficient in theory but I believe I may have attempts at what I consider my version on jazz

 

Guys, I need answers about the timing... What about 2 month ?

 

2 months is a lot of tinkering time but yes i am good with your suggestion.

i will try to resist the constant temptation to make mine worse than when it started

 

u just got nasty'd cuz capz lock.

 

Agreed. Two months is fine, and anything jazzy should be allowed.

 

Two months sounds good. I'll try a jazzy blues piece.

 

from by-the-book classic jazz all genres ( big band, vocal.. ) to electro / fusion ... as long as it includes elements ( chords progression, ryhtms, instruments & scales ) mixed with other styles, no ?
( that's how I see it )

it's too much if you ask me.
1 month should be enough.

I think there's 2 possibilities (which doesn't mean we can't have both) :
- either you make an audiosex album, all genres by respective members,
- or you make genre-oriented albums, then people should be able to work quick and deliver quality content.

I take as long as I want to work on my stuff, I've had something like 40 tracks I'm working on when I want to.

but as musician, in a professional context, we also should be able to deliver quickly. so, for 1 tune per member, 1 month of work should be enough.

it would allow also several albums per year, which could be good and keep the energy flow "alive"

 

If you'd give me 20 years I'd maybe in, too...

 

On a second thought, I guess a month should be enough. Maybe it's time to make publishing albums a thing of this site on the regular. The mods are getting the hang of it by now. We could have a pre-established set of procedures and a schedule for genre publishings all year round, say, every quarter or so. That way, people who cannot be bound by a month or two period could project ahead and the ready for the Album of the Quarter on the genre they could contribute well.

Two months or One month. Either one, I'm in.

 

Two months is a lot, one month would be fine for me too. But does not matter.

 

Did you think about copyright?

 

Also fine with one month here, I have some unfinished stuff with occasional jazz pretensions. May need help with mastering, which I’m cloth-eared at.

 

I beleive that should be original music, so no I didnt think about copyright.

 

By the way, how are we supposed to deliver our tracks? I mean, file type, bit rate, resolution, etc...

And, Is anyone going to master everything (to make it sound like a connected album) or should should we master our own tracks?

Cheers,
