Although Jack Cortner may be unfamiliar to you, it’s likely that you have heard his music. His theme music was used in As The World Turns and The Edge of Night. However, if you don’t like soap operas, then you might have heard his Monday Night Football arrangement. Perhaps you’ve heard some of his many jingles or charts for people like Freddy Cole and Barry Manilow. Cortner has a long-standing musical relationship with Marvin Stamm, a straight-ahead composer-arranger for big-bands. Stamm has often asked Cortner to arrange for his appearances with orchestras and bands across the country. http://jazztimes.com
