Most Leading Jazz Composers license their music through BMI BRUBECK, DAVIS, LEWIS, MINGUS,
MONK, NELSON, PARKER, RUSSELL and
innumerable other composers who make
jazz an expression of emotion and
imagination have elected to license their
music through BMI.
We pay tribute to them and to the many
other poll-winning composers whose
talent brings credit to us and to thousands
of their fellow affiliated composers in
all fields of music.
All the worlds of music for all of today's audience.

What’s all this talk about quarter- tone trumpets, reverb amplifiers, 19/4 time signatures and such?
Words you might not understand to explain music you’ve sure as hell never heard before: The sound of Don Ellis on his new album.
A big-band blast cre¬ ated by Don Ellis, 20 mu¬ sicians, singer Patti Allen and sensitive elec¬ tronic equipment that squashes any thoughts about how jazz isn’t go¬ ing anywhere.
The New Don Ellis Band. You really don’t have to understand how he does it to dig it.
