Underwrite an album
With streaming services paying just a fraction of a cent per spin it is nearly impossible to recoup the cost of making a recording that uses live musicians, especially with a large ensemble. Your patronage allows me to pay real live musicians to apply their craft in creating something people will be able to enjoy for generations. Patrons who underwrite a project are given an executive producer credit on the release and are invited to observe rehearsals and recording sessions.
Project 1
Everyone Sings Glenn Crytzer
An album featuring 10 songs from my trio (piano, bass, guitar) and a different guest vocalist on each tune. All of the songs will be originals, hence the title, giving me the opportunity to write 10 new songs, each for a different singer.

Project 4
"Big Band with Strings"
Following on the success of "Underneath the Mistletoe" I'm eager to create more albums for big band with strings. As I'm working toward more opportunities to collaborate with symphony orchestras an album like this would be invaluable in showcasing my work. It would feature re-recordings of a few classics from artists like Paul Whiteman, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, and Frank Sinatra as well as un-recorded arrangements from these bands and new compositions and arrangements of my own.
Amount
$50,000
