Should be a fun event for all especially for the nominies who'll be given gift bags. Our group has a special one chock full of all kinds of gifts including - and of course this is why I'm blogging here - my latest CD called <span style="font-style:italic;"> "Child of the West". </span><br /><br />Like most musicians I love having my music heard by any and everyone of you who happens to take an interest but it will be a special thrill knowing that artists from film and television will at least in theory give my music a spin. <br /><br />I don't know who will win and who will get a chance to hear <span style="font-style:italic;">"Child of the West"</span> but it could be a Christopher Nolan, or Steven Spielberg. <br /><br />Well one CAN dream!Charles Mazarakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01794813992965560570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698145573900422510.post-67060279759730154672010-12-29T14:00:00.000-08:002010-12-29T14:30:49.476-08:00A new dance video called "Celebration"Kathryn Mc Cormick & Legacy Perez per form a moving contemporary dance choreographed by Stacey Tookey, originally to "2 Steps Away" sung by Pat ti La Belle on "So You Think You Can Dance -Season 6", is here set to beautiful new music "Celebration" composed & performed by Charles Mazarakes.

Of course I would have preferred that these works be heard in their totality but I know that in this case the music must serve the dance and this arrangement works quite well.<br /><br />You can hear excerpts from some of these works by going to www.charlesmazarakes.com and the CHILD OF THE WEST page.<br /><br />Joei tells me there will be a video. I”ll post it as soon as I can and let you know more about it all and other upcoming events.<br /><br />Cheers, </span></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">Charlie</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><br /></span></span><br /></span></span></div></div>Charles Mazarakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01794813992965560570noreply@blogger.com0
