Featured CD
This is the second release by local Yuma, AZ group Yuma Jazz Company and we are hoping it won't be their last. Click the photo to hear sample tracks of Yuma Jazz Company.
Featured Composer
Darin Templeton is a fine young composer who has just completed his masters degree in composition. Darin is comfortable writing or arranging for all combinations of instruments from solo works to full orchestra. His works are in the legitimate realm, so he does no jazz (not that jazz is not legitimate). Darin is available to write compositions, transcriptions or arrangements for whatever you need. Click the photo to sample some of Darin's works.
What is CAP Music?
CAP Music was originally created as a place where the independent composer/arranger, recording artist, group or performer could display their wares. It has since grown into a site that affords the artists the ability to, not only display their creativity but, offer it for sale to the public at large. With the creation of the online store, they are able to sell their compositions, arrangements and recordings to anyone that may be interested. CAP Music is a strong supporter of the independent artist who chooses to promote his or her art without the heavy hand of the established music industry. There are minimal fees involved with the sale of music or recordings (see the agreements page) and there are no fees associated with artist or group promotion. All artist contact and booking is done directly between the artist and the client, through CAP Music. If this is something you, as an independent, may be interested in please click the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page and let us know a
little about what you do. I hope you enjoy your visit to CAP Music and come back again. Sincerely, Carl A. Posch founder.
CAP Music affiliated composers and arrangers
CAP Music is proud to host the compositions and arrangements of several fine writers. Those affiliated with CAP Music are Darin Templeton, Dr. James L. Klages, William Lewis, Steven Hennig, Jana Davis, David Bussick and David Michael Shaffer. You can learn more about these fine musicians by clicking on the "Composers" link above.
CAP Music is one of the few places to buy the music of David Michael Shaffer (08/17/1953 - 09/03/2004). David was a dear friend of mine and the first composer to list his music on CAP Music. He was a wonderful human being and an exceptional woodwind doubler and composer/arranger. It is very unfortunate that his life was cut so short and that he could not have left us with more of his fine music. Please take the time to listen to a few of his works at the online store.
CAP Music is always looking for more artists to add to the roster. If you are a composer/arranger and would like the chance to list your music on the web, please click the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page and tell us a little about yourself.
CAP Music affiliated artists and groups
At present there are only three groups, two freelance musicians and three recording artists represented on CAP Music. Yuma Jazz Company, Yuma Big Band and The Desert Brass are the three groups represented. You can learn more about them and listen to an example of their work by clicking on the "Groups" link above. There is also a contact link for booking and further information on each group.
The two freelance musicians are Stuart Green, classical guitarist and Bryan Stewart, trumpet. You can learn more about them and hear an example of their playing by clicking on the "Musicians" link above.
The recording artists are Janet Hammer, Stuart Green, Vince Pizzolatto and the Yuma Jazz Company. Janet is a wonderfully, versatile vocalist, Stuart is a classical guitarist, Vince is a fantastic percussionist who does things with an electronic drumset you can't believe, and the Yuma Jazz Company is a homegrown jazz quintet. You can hear excerpts from their recordings by going directly to the online store.
It is a goal of CAP Music to increase our affiliation with more and more independent composer/arrangers, recording artists, groups and individual musicians. If you or anyone you know is interested in getting their music out to the public, please don't hesitate to click the "Contact Us" link and tell us about yourself.
