Bob Crawford -Official Website
I work as
a songwriter/composer, producer, guitarist, arranger, vocalist, recording
engineer, Stage manager/Live Sound Engineer (currently with Grammy Award winner Larry
Harlow and Zon del Barrio in NYC), consultant, studio
owner, and now newly published author of "Symmetric Cycles",
my John Coltrane/Pat Martino/Nicholas Slonimsky-inspired music
theory book.
I also provide customized
music for business advertising and am actively seeking music
licensing/placement opportunities with recording artists, for
underscoring/transitions in film, TV, advertising and product placement,
ringtones, video games, etc. in genres such as Pop, R&B/Soul,
Indie Rock, Contemporary Jazz, Dance, Singer-Songwriter, New Country, and Folk
idioms.
Having been in
the music industry for quite some time I have a rather large song catalog &
long track record, working with such varied artists as Jocelyn Brown, Mick
Taylor, Maxine Brown, Dennis Williams (O’Jays, Temptations), Larry Harlow, Ron
Richardson, Carl Hall, Aztec 2 Step, Beverly Crosby, Loretta Devine, and Vondie
Curtis-Hall in such varied genres such as Pop, R&B/Soul, Contemporary
Crossover Jazz, Rock, Dance, Singer-Songwriter, New Country, and
Folk idioms.
I have been producing
artists in genres such as Pop, R&B, Rock, Contemporary Jazz, Dance,
Singer-Songwriter, New Country, and Folk idioms for 25 years, ranging
from Jocelyn Brown to Larry Harlow to Mick Taylor to Maxine
Brown, among many others. I have my own recording studio, RMCO
MUSIC, in Chelsea in Manhattan, or if you prefer another one we can
work there, or online, if you so desire. Please let me know if you would like
to set up a meeting so that we can more fully discuss your project. In the
meantime, here is my web address so that you can find out a bit more about me...http://www.carosta.com/bob-crawford/
