Hi Guys, I'm writing a short film and want to use Take Five (Brubeck / Desmond / Live) (not the video): complete with audience and live feel. I'll be using it as incidental music (i.e., off and on for no more than about half a minute each time) rather than titles.
My question is, who do I approach since this seems to be a public domain video (if I record the sound from it, surely there is a licencing issue there)?
Desmond who co-wrote the track gave the rights in perp to the American Red Cross - but that's only composer's rights; isnt there a licencing issue to take into account also? I have come across one or two record labels that include Take Five in their albums but there's nothing solid.
I'm really hoping someone with good knowledge of UK licencing (buy-out) might come forward with some advice.
Many thanks
Nick
