After a bit of blow back from my response to David Stabler’s blog post about some restrictions on use of audio/video clips of union musicians for a feature article of Tomas Svoboda’s world premiere this week, I decided to follow some well-intended advice from one of my colleagues and get my facts straight. So, as I learn what all is involved in actually recording a musician or ensemble for commercial or non-commercial use, I’m going to try to sort it out here on the blog, so that we all might be better informed about the landscape as it currently exists.
