An Empassioned Plea
To
All Jazz Lovers
My name is Von
Babasin, and I am the youngest son of bassist
Harry Babasin. With the son of his drummer/business partner/friend,
Rex Harte, we collectively own the archive of music we call
Jazz In Hollywood. Over 500 hours of analog jazz masters that
help define west coast jazz history. They are in desperate need
of
remastering for historic preservation. We have been actively seeking
funding for this museum/broadcast facility, and while being
encouraged by the overall response, each time, it is at the cost
of ownership and percentages that we would rather not surrender.
We could fund the entire operation for just over two million
dollars. While this is an incredible amount of money to us, it
is relatively small in comparison to entertainment budgets
in today's industry.
Once someone
with the financial resources realizes what it is
that we have, we will change the face of Jazz for generations
to come and inspire new musicians to strive for excellence!
If you feel
that you would like to help make this a reality, in ANY way,
please contact me for more information. We want to present this
music, and future music, as a lasting legacy to the musicians
who
have performed it, and will perform it. This started as musician
produced music and we want to preserve that tradition. If you'd
like to help...
