Neo-1930s Composer/Songwriter w/material available

Printer-friendly version
Description

My name is Bruce Lloyd Kates, I am a composer and songwriter living in Los Angeles, my place of birth, and the material I write, though all original, is a harking back in style and sensibility to American and European popular music of the 1930s.  A critic at the Hollywood Reporter called my style of writing  "The Vanguard of Nostalgia."

 
Much of what I write has a very danceable feeling to it.  Having had serious walking problems most of my life, I seem to visualize myself dancing when I write music!
 
The thought came to me of posting this announcement and seeing if there might be some of my material might be of interest to dancers and choreographers.  I am seeking no reimbursement for the use of my material.
 
I would like to invite you to visit my website where a fairly good selection of my material can be easily listened to.  My website is www.brucelloydkates.com.  There are 42 Music Samples on my website.  The ones immediately coming to mind that I'd like very much for you to hear are the following:
 
5.    NOSTALGIA
13.  WHEN I MAKE IT BIG IN HOLLYWOOD
20.  JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS
22.  THE HOLIDAY OF OUR LIVES
23.  A GREENER WORLD (harmonica and piano)
24.  SERENADE FOR A DRAGONFLY (harmonica and piano)
28.  LISTENING TO THE RAIN
38. INTO THE SWING OF THINGS
39.  AS WE'RE DANCING TONIGHT
40.  FABULOUS POINT OF VIEW
41.  A NEW KIND OF DANCE
 
Hoping that you will enjoy listening to these selections, I thank you for your time and attention and will look forward to the possibility of our being in further contact.
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Bruce Lloyd Kates
Los Angeles
