Recording Rap
The last few months have been filled with recording projects and jingles. I’m pleased that more musicians are calling me to put their sessions on contract.
Just a reminder to always check your Pension fund statement and Special Payments Fund statement. I had a musician that hadn’t received his yearly check from the Special Payments Fund. I faxed all the B-4 contracts that he appeared on to the fund and they are logging him into their computer and he will receive his check shortly.
Alfredo Oliva, a member of the Board of Governors for NARAS, has been chosen to be on the Classical Nomination Committee for the Grammy’s. At press time, he was in Los Angeles to help pick the top nominations for all of the classical categories. Alfredo said they even have a new category of Crossover Classical music! I will give you a report on his trip in the next newsletter.
Ever wonder about those microphones you see at your gigs?? We had a call from one of our members stating that a live performance that had been taped a few years earlier was being used in a commercial on a cable station. Although the tape had been edited to fit the commercial time slot, the Orchestra was indeed used in the commercial. We are now in the process of filing a contract with the Signatory for new use compensation for the musicians. It’s always worth a phone call to see if we can help you!
Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday and a safe and healthy NEW YEAR!
