Last objective for the realization of a limited edition of the vinyl record
After achieving two of the three objectives: the recording of the album and the making of a promotional video clip... We set a third and final goal: the production of a exclusive vinyl record made in a limited series for collectors.
If we reach this third and final challenge, all the patrons who have made it possible to achieve the objectives from the beginning will be present in the credits of the video clip and will also receive, along with the corresponding rewards, an edition of the vinyl record in limited series for collectors.
Javier Botella and Albert Sanz sing for Gershwin, Porter and Weill
The proposal of this repertoire, with songs by the greatest exponents of Broadway musical theater, revolves around the search for the original melody, with the masters George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Kurt Weill.
For this new album we have made an exquisite selection of songs in which the elegance and magic of Albert when singing and playing the piano, his freshness and his youth combine perfectly with Javier's more mature and velvety voice.
About us
Javier Botella, known as the Spanish crooner, he's a scenic animal, a charismatic performer who gives off swing and feeling on all four sides. From a very young age he absorbed the slow and elegant rhythms of jazz and, since then, they have not stopped accompanying him. Javier has two successful albums behind his back, “The best is yet to come” and “All the way”.
Albert Sanz, great pianist and composer, he had early contact with very varied themes and rhythms. From a young age he studied classical piano and began playing concerts and jams. He has obtained important recognitions and has taken advantage of the excellent opportunities that his enormous talent offers him. Graduated Cum Laude from the prestigious Berklee College of Music, he has shared the stage with top musicians in Boston and New York and has recorded numerous albums with various artists.

Why resort to crowdfunding?
In a context that is not exempt from difficulties for the implementation of musical projects, as a result of the restrictive measures due to the pandemic, it's vitally important to have contributions from patrons that allow artistic quality proposals that, otherwise, they run the risk of not seeing the light due to lack of sufficient means to reach the public.
With the contribution of music lovers, of the golden years of Broadway musical theater and, consequently, of younger jazz, it's possible to realize initiatives as exciting and faithful to tradition as this one.
Thank you for your input and welcome to the project!

What will we use your contributions for?
First of all, we want to thank you in advance for collaborating in this project and inform you that, when selecting a reward, your card will not be charged until the end of the campaign and as long as we reach the requested budget. If it were the case that we did not reach the required amount, the collection would not be made.
All aid received will be used to defray the costs of recording, producing and broadcasting the CD. As you may have seen, for this album we set a first goal of € 3,900, which is the minimum budget we need, although the actual budget exceeds this amount. For this reason, we set ourselves a second challenge to raise € 5,900 and defray all expenses, in addition to being able to make a promotional video clip. Now that we have achieved this second goal, we plan a third and final one up to € 7,900 destined to cover the manufacturing costs of our vinyl record in a limited edition for collectors. If we do not reach these new proposed amount, we will not be able to carry out this new action, but at least we already have the certainty that we will be able to carry out this project and we are very grateful to all the patrons who have made it possible.
This is how we will distribute, roughly, the budget:
First goal (basic) - € 4,500 + VAT (21%)
Recording studio - € 450 + VAT (21%)
Sound engineer for the recording - € 400 + VAT (21%)
Mix and Master of the CD - € 1,800 + VAT (21%)
Manufacture of the CD (including SGAE) - € 1,200 + VAT (21%)
CD design - € 400 + VAT (21%)
Promotion - € 250
Second and third goal (complete) - € 3,400 + VAT (21%)
Manufacture of the vinyl record - € 1,600 + VAT (21%)
Vinyl record design - € 400 + VAT (21%)
Making the video clip - € 1,400 + VAT (21%)
Total Approximate sum
€ 7,900 + VAT (21%)
