BOB CRAWFORD'S UPDATED WEBSITES WITH MUSIC IN 4 GENRES

BOB CRAWFORD'S UPDATED WEBSITES WITH MUSIC IN 4 GENRES


By way of introduction, my name is Bob Crawford and I am a 30-year veteran songwriter, producer, guitarist, vocalist, and arranger seeking music licensing/placement opportunities for recording artists, underscoring in TV, product placement, ringtones, video games, etc. in genres such as Pop, R&B, Rock, Contemporary Crossover Jazz, Dance, Singer-Songwriter, and Folk idioms.
Having been in the music industry for quite some time I have a rather large song catalogue and long track record, working with such varied artists as Jocelyn Brown,Mick Taylor, Maxine Brown, Larry Harlow, Dennis Williams (O’Jays, Temptations),Ron Richardson, Carl Hall, Aztec 2 Step, Beverly Crosby, Loretta Devine, and Vondie Curtis- Hall.

Here are links to some music in 4 different genres (by category, depending on your preference) in mp3/128kbps format for your consideration for various licensing/placement opportunities.
1) For Pop/Rock--Bob Crawford--Writer/Producer (14 songs)
2) For Pop/New Country--Bob Crawford--Singer/Songwriter/Producer (9 songs)
3) For R&B/Soul--Bob Crawford--Songwriter/Producer (18 songs)
4) For Jazz & Crossover Jazz Instrumentals-- Bob Crawford—Musician/Writer/Producer (17 tunes)

*********************************************************************************
I am also the author of "Symmetric Cycles", my John Coltrane/Pat Martino/Nicholas Slonimsky-inspired music theory book published by RMCO MUSIC and distributed by Charles Colin Publications, Tappan NY.
"Symmetric Cycles",  inspired by the work of John Coltrane, Pat Martino, and Nicholas Slonimsky offers new ways of stretching the melodic and harmonic boundaries of Modal Jazz, Blues, Pentatonic Rock, Latin (Montunos, etc.) Reggae, World Music, etc., creating sound colors that will open your ears in ways you may not have experienced before. It also is extremely useful compositionally--connecting chords in very unique ways, adding emotional sound colors to original musical works. As a teaching tool, it is very valuable for advanced students as well as seasoned players. You can preview several pages of the book on the website by clicking on the “Look Inside” tab on my website…   http://www.carosta.com/bob-crawford/   
"Symmetric Cycles” can be ordered by calling Charles Colin Publications at 845-680-6880, their website, http://www.charlescolin.com/order1.htm   or through my  website   http://www.carosta.com/bob-crawford/
