Embedded Files
Sheet music packages are slowly rolling out in the BRJ shop.
NEWS:
I'm creating song packages with charts, sheet music, and lyrics.
Thank you for asking for them!
These aren't your typical tabs. Form meets function here.
Beyond helping players jump into the Jake sound, they're mementos. Treasures.
There are copies of original handwritten charts, some of which Jake wrote over 30 years ago. You may see notes from other musicians, too. Stories and stories.
First, I went through files, folders, computers, and totes full of binders... so many! Then, I sifted through copy after copy, looking for the most authentic, personalized, informative, interesting and accurate pages.
Wherever possible, they show the evolution of an arrangement. Where there is divergence, both are included. It's yours to interpret and enjoy.
Lovingly photographed, they frequently capture after-the-fact scrawl, occasional alternate keys, coffee cup rings, curls, wrinkles, discolouration and tears (read that word either way). I then prepare lyric sheets.
Nostalgia meets purpose in these documents.
We can't wait to hear your renditions of Jake's music.
The first package is ready, and posted below. Please watch this space for more.
Thank you!

Sometimes, I come across alternate lyrics or earlier, discarded versions. Naturally, there are also many songs in various stages of completion. I found a few surprises. Of course, some songs (especially the newer ones) only have tidy, untouched digital files, lacking the personality of paper.
Have you heard? Apparently, CDs are BACK!
Live Faust, Die Jung is a moving foray into a more mainstream sound.
Please write to info@bigrudejake.ca and we'll figure out shipping costs.
$30.00CAD
Ask about copies of Butane Fumes & Bad Cologne, Blue Pariah, Quicksand, Defiance, & Blue Mercury Coupe. There may be a few.
Magnets, stickers, and more can be found by clicking on the images above, or going to BRJ Merchandise.
