FREDDIE REDD IS RWA TO PLAY GIGS - PLEASE BOOK THIS NATIONAL TREASURE FOR YOUR FESTIVAL OR SCHOOL

Dear Friends,

God has blessed me with 80 years of life on this earth still in good health and able to play the music I have dedicated my life to... bebop. I have had very successful performances in recent years but they have been few and far between. My close friend, fellow musician and patron, Dr. Nelson Harrison has kept me from losing faith and has helped sustain me and my wife Valerie in tangible and practical ways over the last 5+ years. He wants to help my music be restored into the public domain and my performance career be revivified. He has served as my liason to the world since we met and has enabled me to have a voice on the internet.

He helped me get bookd on The Marian McPartland Show - Piano Jazz in 2005 which was aired on NPR in February 2006. From that show I was booked for a "Re-Connection" concert in my native New York City in February, 2007 at the Merkin Concert Hall where I was re-united with former sidemen Louis Hayes and Lou Donaldson and also accompanied by Mickey Bass and Dwayne Burno on bass and Donald Harrison on alto sax playing the music from "The Connection." The concert received rave reviews which you can find on this site. From that appearance I was interviewed for a feature article in Jazzman Magazine in Paris France which appeared in the April 2007 issue. From that point my liason, Dr. Harrison, was contacted by an agent in Paris, who has booked me with a stellar quartet for 2 festivals and some club dates in Paris in mid-July, 200

Due to lack of work I have been living in a mobile home in Los Angeles on a meager monthly veterans pension check, yet the reviews I get for performing keep me hopeful that the jazz public still wants to see me and hear my music. I asked Dr. Harrison to publish my plea in the hope that it might reach the attention of some industry people or educators interested in helping me be restored to active performing. It's hard to make it on one gig/year yet I am so grateful that I can still play and I have been writing new material for many years that has never been heard publicly.

This is an open letter saying to the jazz world that Freddie Redd is alive and well, has chops and wants to travel. I am informed that others are selling my music all over the internet (even ringtones) but I receive no compensation or even acknowledgement that I am still alive from those sources. If you can help me with bookings, influence or in any tangible way, I believe my greatest contributions to the jazz world are yet to come.

I have no phone where I can be reached but I can return calls using a phone card. I call Dr. Harrison for my messages daily and you can always get a mesage to me through him at 412-780-3011.

I can receive mail at the following:

I just turned 80 on May 29, 2008 and any card, message or word of encouragement will be greatly appreciated.

FALSE CLAIMS CONTINUE TO EXPLOIT MY MUSIC TO THE CONNECTION

To Whom It May Concern:

In 1960 I wrote the musical score for an off-Broadway play about drug addiction entitled The Connection written by Jack Gelber.  It won three Obies, one was for Best Play of the Year.

One night after a performance I was approached by Alan Lorber and Ernest Kelly, partners in a publishing company called, Jeneva Music.   They wanted to publish the music.  I agreed and signed a publishing agreement with them.

After many years (20-25) I have not received any royalties or monies other than an initial signing agreement with them which ran out sometime in the 1980s.  The musical score copyrights are now owned entirely by me and are registered in my LLC publishing company called Fair Play in Jazz.  Jeneva Music has continued to lay claim to the publishing rights to the music from The Connection in spite of the fact that I had recovered ownership of the music. 

They, I am sure, are basing their claims to the music on the fact that I recorded an album of the music for their record label called Felsted Records, which I recorded under the pseudonym of “I Ching” to avoid a conflict of interest with another label.  The original cast album was recorded for the Blue Note label.

Jeneva Music put out a print version of the music also.  Their next exploitation of my music came as they licensed the music to the State Theatre in Stockholm, Sweden for a production of the play.  Not only did they license the music but they also claimed co-authorship of the music.  I did not find out about this transaction until I visited Sweden in 1991.

I have in my possession the original contract they negotiated with the Stockholm State Theatre plus the cash receipts earned from the run of the play there.  I have tried everything I could do to gain what was due me in terms of monies, to no avail.  I decided to call them in New York one day from Sweden and got this response to my request for any and all monies due me.  Alan Lorber said that he would mail to me all monies due me.  He sent me a check for $341.00 along with an agreement he wanted me to sign that said that the $341.00 was to be acknowledged by me as payment-in-full for any and all royalties due me.

I signed and sent back to him a note acknowledging that I received $341.00 only and did not accept that money as having been paid-in-full for the royalties Jeneva Music owned me.  I never heard from them again. 

Also the music was used in a film of The Connection produced and directed by documentary film-maker Shirley Clark, which has been and is still being sold over the internet and at Blockbuster and other similar film and video stores.  They have never sent to me any royalty statements for the film either.

I believe that Jeneva Music has been defrauding me for many years.  I have all the necessary documents to verify my claims.

Jeneva Music is a BMI publishing company like me and to this day they are still claiming my music to be theirs.  I have very solid evidence that they are still doing this and I have never been able to litigate my claims.  I have no other option but to publicize my plight in this manner to shine the light of day on such unscrupulous people who gain by exploiting artists like me knowing we are not likely to be able to use the expensive legal system to achieve justice.

Sincerely, 

Freddie Redd

P.S.  Please feel free to comment on this blog any knowledge or suggestions that I might pursue to bring those responsible to task.
