The series, produced with the cooperation of The Ray Charles Marketing Group, will focus on Ray’s music and include interviews with his fellow musicians and other artists discussing these remarkable recordings, and Ray’s impact on contemporary music. Rare performance video as well as photos from the archives of the Ray Charles Foundation will also be included.
Bret's last Podcast series for Concord, Orrin Keepnews, Producer, which featured the famed producers insights into his greatest recording, continues to be a YouTube favorite with over 500,000 views for its twenty episodes. To date, the Jazz Video Guy has posted nearly 350 videos on YouTube, with total views recently passing the five million mark.
The power of on-demand web video cant be underestimated. Through YouTube's Insight program, I get very precise data about my viewers and can report they come from all over the planet. The most popular episodes for the Keepnews series are Cannonball Adderley at the Village Vanguard, and, Sunday at the Village Vanguard with Bill Evans. In fact, the series continues to generate over 20,000 views per week. --Bret Primack, Producer
Primack also produces his popular bi-weekly blog, with the latest episode featuring his 1999 encounter with Michael Brecker.
Im so glad I can share this never-before-seen video of Michael with my global audience, which includes an interview and his solo on There is No Greater Love.
An EPK for Joe Lovano's new release, Folk Art, is yet another Primack project just posted online.
I've been working with Joe for nearly five years, documenting his work on video. His music keeps changing, and his new group, US Five, which features two drummers, is one of the most exciting working bands out there today.
