Indaba Music and Berklee College of Music have teamed up to bring you a contest like no other!

The tracks you will be using in this contest were composed and produced by Berklee student Chris Han, and recorded by Berklee students Dylan Ramsey, Jon Kolar, and Jon Lippincott. Using Indaba, jazz great Greg Osby and Grammy Award winner Joe Lovano (both Berklee alums) recorded alto and soprano saxophone tracks, respectively. We've loaded the contest with all these session files but it all sounds so good that we can't pick which tracks to use in the song! That's where you come in...

It's your job to pick and choose from these tracks, and to cut, edit, paste, and mix them together (and add your own if you feel up to it!) to create the best original version of the song.

Here's how the contest works:

1) We provide the files, you edit and mix them using our session console, or you download them, use your desktop software and re-upload your final mix.

2) You save your submission as a mix in the Indaba session console.

3) On the Contest Submission page you select your final mix and click the "Submit This Mix" button to enter the contest.

4) After the 3-week submission period is closed, the community will vote for an additional week nominating the best mixes. A panel of judges, including Joe Lovano, Greg Osby, and our very own Mantis Evar, will pick the winner.

Great work, JoLynn. and to all of you, it wouldn't have been a contest without everyone's input. I am moved by how many different songs came out of one set of tracks. For everyone who had the courage to enter this contest, I acknowledge your willingness to play.
