ORIGINAL OLD-SCHOOL SWING INSTRUMENTALS are needed for several (up to) 
$10,000*, Direct-to-Music-Supervisor placements in a range of TV Shows
on Major Networks.

This Music Supervisor is on the hunt for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals
in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

"Let's Dance" by Benny Goodman
"Alright, Okay, You Win" by Count Basie & Joe Williams
"Jitterbug" by Cab Calloway

Although some of the references have vocals, please submit 
Instrumentals only for this pitch.

*Although we were told that sync fees for these placements could range 
up to $10,000, we think it's more likely that the fees for 
instrumentals will be in the $2,000 - $5,000 range. $10,000 would be 
rare and exceptional, and more likely if the music was from a known 
artist.

You can submit recently recorded Instrumentals in the general 
production style of the references; or, if you’ve got any vintage 
recordings (recorded back in the day), the Music Supervisor would love 
to hear those, as well!

Please submit original Swing Instrumentals with infectious rhythms, 
great melodies, and lots of fun energy. High-quality Jazz 
instrumentation with impeccable musicianship is a must for this pitch. 
If you're planning on using any virtual instruments, they need to 
sound like the real thing and not synthetic or stiff. Your production 
should be top-notch and era-appropraite, as well.

All submissions should be at least 2 minutes long and no longer than 5 
minutes (give or take), with non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. Do 
NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them 
only as a guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality 
is needed.

The estimated license fee for each placement is up to $10,000, 
depending on the ultimate use. These are Direct-to-Music Supervisor 
placements, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Master and 
Composition rights, plus you’ll also get 100% of the sync fee and any 
applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master 
and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many 
Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be 
screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later 
than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Saturday, July 10th, 2021. TAXI # S210710JN
