Brass/woodwind/string overdubs for 1960s Holiday album!

Hello! We are "The Harmony Boys", an easy listening parody quartet based in Los Angeles. Before the city burns to the ground, we are attempting to complete a long-anticipated Christmas album of old holiday favorites, plus a few questionable originals. Think South Park meets the Andy Williams show!

The songs were arranged by several different arrangers, all of whom used digital instrument samples to get the sounds - some better than others. We are ... looking to improve some of the lesser arrangements by adding live instrument overdubs into the mix. This is where you come in!

There are:
4 songs need brass & woodwinds (2 orchestral, 2 big band style) - trumpets, trombones, saxophone (all types), flute & clarinet

4 songs needing orchestral strings - violin, viola, possibly cello

Examples of 3 of the songs are attached (unmixed) for your reference. Please listen to "Wonderful Wonderful Day" especially - the hardest of the bunch - and let us know if this is in your wheelhouse. If you can handle the parts on this you're probably OK on all!

Our engineer will provide a PDF chart created from the MIDI, plus a ProTools session, or just a reference bounce for you to play along & record.

Can you drop us a quote? How would you charge for such a project? Hourly, per song, number of instruments, etc?

Thank you for your time & consideration. And Happy Christmas (in June).
