make time for jazz
Jazz is a passion; at least it’s a passion at Project One Productions. Our mission is to publish and promote local jazz artists and their music. Our “house band” is composed of musicians currently performing in musical ensembles, theatre groups or solo acts throughout the country. Many are also teachers, several as professors of music in local universities including The Ohio State University. We also support local jazz artists that are not necessarily affiliated with Project One Productions.
Our latest in-house project is a new CD, scheduled to be published in 2007. Other local artists are also working on new projects that we hope to have available on this site in the near future.
Project One, the original, is still available. Please contact us for more information.
it's about efflorescent sound...
Jazz, according to Merriam Webster, is "American music developed especially from ragtime and blues and characterized by propulsive syncopated rhythms, polyphonic ensemble playing, varying degrees of improvisation, and often deliberate distortions of pitch and timbre." We like to think of jazz as efflorescent sound; music bursting into flower. We hope you find all of the above in the music represented and supported by Project One Productions.
