I would be hard pressed to cover a SINGLE song on the charts right now with an arranger.

It is a disgrace. The American market is the way it is because the manufacturers have MADE it like that... and it will only change when they MAKE it change.

The big3 understand what America needs in a WS. How come they can't figure out how to make an arranger that is popular?

Apathy, IMO...


It’s the chicken and the egg scenario: which one comes first?

Do you need the modern arranger market first then make styles for it? Or do you go through the expense of making the modern styles first then put in the expense of getting the market for them?
