In this episode of MFM SPEAKS OUT podcast, co-host Adam Reifsteck and trumpeter and founder of Jazz in the Neighborhood Mario Guarneri discuss how the enactment of California's Assembly Bill 5 is affecting musicians. Under the new law, a musician is now considered an employer when he/she hires another musician to play in that musician’s band (even if it’s just for one show instead of an on-going arrangement); someone to perform on a record (even as a one-off, work for hire session); a producer (or beatmaker) for their record and more!
During the interview Mario repeatedly expressed that now is the time for professional musicians to organize in order to tackle musicians rights issues.
The two songs featured Bye Bye Blackbird and Over Greenland are provided courtesy of Mario Guarneri.
