Charts + Arrangements by Daniel Menjivar
Charts + Arrangements
I have worked on numerous projects with a myriad of professional musicians and bands across North America. I specialize in arranging for Cuban and Latin genres (salsa, merengue, etc.), as well as for Latin Jazz and fusion styles.
I tailor my work around the uniqueness of each project and take great pride in delivering good-sounding, clear arrangements and exceptionally easy-to-read charts. I also do MIDI/background tracks, full-band transcriptions, etc. Once the charts are complete, I can come to your band's rehearsal and offer musical direction services, if needed.
My turnaround time for charts depends on how many projects I have on-the-go at any given time, but it's very reasonable. (Yes, I can sometimes accommodate last-minute/short-notice emergencies.) If you are interested in knowing more about my arrangements, MIDI tracks, transcriptions and/or chart writing services, please do not hesitate to contact me.
