Philly Real Book Project
The Greater Philadelphia Metro area has never had a compilation of important original contributions the region’s jazz and blues musicians/composers have made and are continuing to make to the world of music. The Philadelphia Real Book Project hopes to remedy this with this compendium of philly-centric tunes.
Working with the nonprofit groups Jazz Bridge, the Philadelphia Clef Club of the Performing Arts, the Philadelphia Jazz Project and other funders, coordinator David Dzubinski will be collaborating with musicians and singers submitting their work to bring original music in lead sheet form to a wider audience on the local, national and international scenes. The Philadelphia Real Book Project’s only goal is to help promote and support the interests of jazz and blues musicians/composers/singers in the Philadelphia area through their original compositions.
NJ Author on Gerry Mulligan
Check out Sanford Josephson's book, Jeru's Journey: The Life and Music of Gerry Mulligan. It is "a tremendous contribution to the jazz lexicon," according to pianist Bill Charlap. WBGO-FM's Gary Walker calls it "an animated comprehensive look into what went into the process of one of our legendary music makers."
