Roy August and Bobby Pizazz discuss their Big Band Project!
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Hi Folks
We need your support now more than ever. We are shooting for the financial goal to record the Big Band LP…Your pledges will be used to pay for recording new material, over dub recording, mixing, mastering, and associated expenses. Keep in mind, this budget covers making the album only. Every dollar we raise will be used for such things as paying musicians, studio time at Treasure Isle Studio, any additional funds raised will be applied to promotion of the album and also enable us to take the band sound on the road and play some shows, yes!!!! we would love to play shows! We are working with some up coming young talents who will front this project… Which will be named soon…
We want the BIG BAND PROJECT to Paint a pallet of colorful music that will help unite the Global Masses in a Oneness of Equality through Music… We can Do it with a Modern Day New Big Band Sound. Bobby Pizazz & Roy August have written over 300 Big Band Songs for the project…”The 35th Century Orchestra” will bring New Innovations matching the Colors of the Rainbow with each Note Tone from Sir Issac Newton color wheel for the first time in History. We are all made of the same star stuff, We all breathe the same air, we all see the same colors from the sun, we all have the same basic human needs… bringing people together, we’re all part of the human race.
If you grew up listening to the music in cartoons, one of the reasons the images stuck in our minds so well…Is because the producers of the audio used songs for BIG BAND Arrangements & Orchestra Arrangements…I’m thinking of all the greats, people like Spike Jones especially, and Tommy Dorsey, Glen Miller’s horn arrangements were in a class of their own, Woody Herman, Sir Duke Ellington, Count Base’ to name a few.
Big band has the ability to lift the spirits of humanity worldwide, look at Michael Buble’ and he is doing all the old classics yet he is gaining great followers of youth… After World I and World War II… It was Big Band Sounds that help heal the generations… Then in Rock & Roll bands like Earth Wind and Fire, Blood Sweat & Tears, Tower Of Power, All these groups tried to bring the feel of Big Band to the stage…

Co Founder of the Big Band Project Mr Roy August,
Roy Says “I believe in Karma, when you help others, somewhere someone else may be helping you, so I am a hundred percent in favor of that. I’m a singer songwriter who wrote [Fancy Free] for The Oakridge Boys, [Love and Broken Hearts]= T Graham Brown, [The Lord Is]= T Jae Christian and Shenandoah [The Vanishing Breed] T Graham Brown= T Jae Christian
[Shadow People]= Dave James and Trilogy, Surprise 11=Philadelphia pa
and 700 other cuts, plus 11,000 songs and growing daily.”
Roy and Bobby set out in December of 2010 at the Sure Fire Christmas Party to write songs for this project…so far this year to date they have wrote over 300 Big Band songs… Says Bobby “It is with great enthusiasm and humble heart that that I get to work with greats like Roy August who took me under his wing as a writing partner” thank You Roy August…The Lyrics to some of the songs can be found on my Facebook under notes…
Joining the team as Co-Executive Producer T Jae Christian…After moving to Nashville, TN. T. Jae put his performing aside for awhile to persue writing and record production. Before long his songs were being recorded by such artist as Roy Orbison, Charlie Pride, Nat Stuckey, Jeannie Pruitt,(blue grass great) Jimmy Martin, etc. Due to his 23 year close association and the guidance of the legendary Owen Bradley, T. Jae has also become an outstanding producer…
