C
C
The
creative
arts
economy
is
critical
to
the
Future
growth
of
this
city.
It
is
important
that
everyone
in
government
and
in
our
city
recognize
the
importance
of
this
economic
engine
and
what
it
means
to
our
city
to
the
individuals
here
that
this
city
become
a
destination
point
that
this
city
become
a
platform
for
the
creative
arts.
Folks,
that
requires
an
investment
from
government.
It
requires
funding.
It
requires
many
things
this
committee
has
put
together
in
the
most
practical
way,
a
list
of
recommendations
they
felt
would
have
an
immediate
effect.
C
C
I
Hi
everybody
and
welcome
good
morning
and
thank
you
for
giving
me
a
voice
regarding
this
creative
economy
and
I'd
like
to
thank
councilmano
for
leading
the
charge
for
this
hearing
and
helping
the
Arts
and
creative
economy
have
a
voice,
and
thank
you,
members
of
city
council
for
being
here
at
this
very
important
meeting.
My
name
is
David
Ivey
and
I.
I
I
know
the
councilman
talked
a
little
bit
about
how
this
started.
The
music
industry
task
force
started
in
2017
to
look
at
the
economic
impact
of
the
music
industry
and
to
articulate
ways
that
the
city
can
help
support
the
music
industry
of
Philadelphia,
which
is
what
it's
so
famous
for
the
music
industry
task
force.
Looked
at
other
music
cities
such
as
New,
York,
Nashville
and
Seattle
were
doing
to
enhance
what
they
were
doing
to
enhance
their
musical
Heritage
and
economy.
We
also
held
networking
events
with
emerging
artists,
professional
musicians
and
Music
Makers.
I
To
get
a
sense
of
the
challenges
were
from
the
ground,
understanding
that
resources
are
limited.
The
task
force
surveyed
the
broader
music
Community
to
confirm,
with
other
music
professionals
our
10
recommendations.
Of
course,
everyone
we
talk
to
or
communicated
with
strongly
agreed
with
the
task
force
recommendation.
I
I
Two
more
look
at
the
strengths
of
Philadelphia's
Rich,
musical
history
and
the
current
boom
of
music
venues
and
artists.
Three
promote
Philadelphia
music
in
the
city's
Transportation
hubs
such
as
Philly
International,
Airport
and
30th
Street
Station,
four
Redevelopment
of
the
sigma
sound
building
as
a
cultural
center.
I
In
addition,
though,
it
was
not
part
of
our
recommendations.
The
task
force
thinks
it's
important
to
conduct
an
economic
impact
study
of
the
music
industry.
Specifically,
a
study
would
identify
a
baseline
of
the
current
economic
impact
of
Philadelphia's
music
industry
and
provide
descriptions
of
the
occupations
Within,
the
Music
Industries.
Unfortunately,
previous
economic
studies,
Incorporated
the
music
industry,
but
was
embedded
along
with
hospitality,
tourism
and
the
like.
The
music
industry,
needs
its
own
study
to
better
understand
how
it
contributes
to
the
Philadelphia
economy.
I
In
conclusion,
I
hope
this
committee
will
continue
to
work
to
support
Philadelphia's
music
sector
and
provide
the
resources
needed
to
create
a
permanent
Philadelphia
music
office.
Your
support
to
take
these
steps
are
vital
to
preserving
Philadelphia's
Heritage
as
a
music
force
in
the
country
and
around
the
world.
I
just
wanted
to
show
a
quick,
quick
slide.
I
don't
know
Elizabeth.
Can
you
show
that
slide?
This
is
what
happens
when
you
Google
the
best
place,
the
best
music
cities
in
the
country,
and,
let's
see
if
we
can
see
this
slide.
I
If
you
see
this
slide
best
music
cities
in
the
country,
we
don't
even
show
up
on
this
slide
like
Orlando,
Richmond
Virginia
I
mean
it's
it's
it's
very
unfortunate,
so
I
just
wanted
to
present
that
to
you
as
something
that
I
could
show
so
and
with
that
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration
and
I
yield
back.

task,

This
is
one
of
our
most
important
temples
of
sound
here
in
Philadelphia,
and
it
tells
a
story
that
I
think
will
be
important
for
people
across
generations
and
and

backgrounds,
and
this
is
something
that
I'm
really
excited
to

through.

So
much.

C
Okay,
following
up
on
that,
I
just
want
to
make
a
quick
comment
on
what
David
Ivory
said.
We
do
need
an
economic
impact
study.
We
do
have
General
numbers
about
arts
and
culture
in
Philadelphia,
3.4
billion
annual
impact,
920
million
dollars
in
household
income
per
year,
and
157
million
dollars
in
local
taxes
to
help
our
city
per
year.
That's
pre-covered
covid
has
done
a
terrible
job
on
our
live
performances.
C
This
is
critical
for
us.
It
is
difficult
to
continually
try
to
explain
to
our
our
leaders
in
Philadelphia.
Why
this
is
so
important
when
other
cities,
not
only
here
in
the
United
States
but
around
the
world,
already
understand
this,
so
it
is
up
to
this
Council
body.
It
is
up
to
our
our
city
leaders,
our
business,
our
government,
everyone
else
to
get
behind
us
that
video
is
is
just
an
example
of
some
of
the
amazing
talent
in
this
city.
C
Q
Beloved
Hines
autistic
director
of
the
Philadelphia
Club
long-term
teacher
in
Philadelphia
and
I'm,
really
requesting
support
for
the
phenomenon
of
what's
happening
in
Philadelphia
right
now.
As
artistic
director
of
the
Philadelphia
clef
club,
the
club
club
is
one
of
three
historical
institutions
in
America,
Buffalo,
Kansas,
City
and
Philadelphia
are
the
Mainstays
of
the
black
musician
unions
and
that
some
should
be
recognized.
It's
so
very,
very
important
to
have
the
historical
entities
in
your
city.
Q
That's
going
to
be
attractive,
but
the
most
important
thing
it
has
to
be
informational
and
people
need
to
know
about
them.
Specially
our
young
people
from
a
teacher
I
am
just
so
proud
of
what's
happening
in
Philadelphia
now,
Philadelphia
musicians
are
presently
on
an
incredible
level
of
national
recognition
and
and
National
and
Global
recognition.
Q
I
have
number
one
one
of
my
students
and
I
can
say
that,
but
not
one
of
my
students
is
one
of
the
young
people
out
of
Philadelphia
Christian
McBride
number
one
basis:
number
of
jazz
musician
of
the
year
and
number
one
producer
of
the
year
in
jazz,
a
young
man,
Emmanuel
Wilkins
number
one
in
LA
and
Rising
Star
number
four
in
established
Alto
players.
These
are
just
a
few
Quest
love.
Of
course.
We
all
know
what
Chris
Love
is
doing.
Q
You
know
he
made
this
amazing
amazing
documentary
about
summer
of
soul
and
when
we
have
those
kind
of
projects
and
products
coming
out
of
Philadelphia,
it's
appalling
that
we're
not
recognized
as
a
musical
City,
it's
just
unbelievable,
and
if
we
can
get
Philadelphia
a
city
council
to
feel
the
same
kind
of
passion
that
I
feel
about
what's
happening
in
the
world
today,
especially
in
our
in
our
music
industry,
people
are
asking
me
say:
love
it.
You
know
that
at
least
one
Philadelphia
musician
is
playing
in
practically
every
major
major
performing
group.
Q
You
know
young
people,
we
don't
even
know
about
because
they
know
their
names.
A
young
man
from
Gap
Michael
Wooten
is
playing
with
the
Jonas
Brothers.
You
know
and
those
kinds
of
things
that
are
so
impactful,
but
the
story
about
that
is
the
history.
The
neighborhoods.
These
young
people
grew
up
in
this
neighborhood.
What
was
the
factor
to
get
these
young
people
to
the
point?
Q
Education,
of
course,
of
the
wonderful
things
that's
happening
at
Temple
University,
university
of
Arts,
so
we
are
a
major
Mecca
in
many
many
levels
of
producing
young
people
and
and
presenting
these
young
people
to
play
and
make
this
music
around
the
world
and
make
an
impact
in
the
music
industry
and
that's
something
that
we
need
to
embrace
to
help
grow.
There's
not
a
festival
in
Philadelphia
that
tells
our
story.
There's
a
film
says:
Take
Me
to
the
River
New
Orleans.
Q
C
R
It's
a
small
venue.
It
only
holds
200
people,
but
that's
a
very
good
spot,
c-bands
kind
of
on
their
way
up,
and
we
will
see
people
regularly
come
into
Philadelphia
from
outside
of
Philadelphia
and
get
hotel
rooms
and
stay
a
weekend
or
stay
several
days
and
spend
their
money
not
just
at
milkboy,
but
also
in
all
the
other
restaurants
and
bars
in
Philadelphia
and
at
a
hotel
and
and
really
generate
income
for
for
way
outside
of
the
space
contained
in
our
own
bricks.
R
A
few
years
ago,
my
partner
and
I
also
produced
a
movie
and
we
had
the
it's
called
slow
Learners.
It's
romantic
comedy
it
stars
many
of
the
people
on
Saturday
Night
Live,
and
we
took
it
to
Tribeca
film
festival
and
sold
it.
We
got
very
lucky
I
guess
you
know,
but
it
was
successful.
We
sold
it
and
to
Sundance
films,
and
it
is,
it
did
a
theatrical
run
and-
and
it's
still
you
can
still
see
it
today
on
Amazon.
R
It
was
a
very
well
I,
won't
even
bother
with
his
credits,
but
a
very
famous
music
producer
was
in
the
studio.
Just
last
week
doing
string
sections
recording
them
here
in
Philadelphia,
and
it
would
be
very
interesting
to
think
that
there
was
some-
maybe
a
tax
incentive
incentive
for
him
to
do
that,
not
just
a
creative
incentive,
but
on
the
creative
incentive.
There's
lots
of
creative
incentive
for
people
to
come
to
Philadelphia.
R
It
was
shocking
to
see
the
slide
that
Mr
Ivory
presented,
see
that
we
don't
even
rank
in
the
top
20
searches
and
you
see
cities
like
Asheville
North
Carolina,
which
my
grandparents
are
from
Asheville
I've,
been
to
Asheville
cool
City,
but
it's
not
a
music
town.
It's
not
Philadelphia
to
Echo
the
previous
presenter's
Point
Mr
Hines,
the
the
the
the
number
of
people
in
bands
who
are
from
Philadelphia
and
everybody's
touring
act.
It's
astonishing.
R
If
you
look
at
all
the
pop
acts
that
are
out
there
and
you
look
at
who's
in
their
band
they're
loaded
with
Philadelphia
musicians.
Philadelphia
has
an
incredible
music
history
and
an
incredible
music
present,
and
to
think
of
how
you
know
to
learn
through
this
committee
and
through
the
work
that
you
were
all
doing
here.
Thank
you
councilman.
Oh
the
to
learn
about
the
tax
dollars
that
are
that
are
picked
up.
I
mean
we
pay
them.
We
pay
ticket
tax,
so
every
ticket,
that's
that's
bought
at
our
clubs.
R
We
pay
a
tax
on
it
at
five
percent
entertainment
tax.
It
goes
right
back
to
the
city
to
think
about
the
power
that
that
could
hold
to
drive
and
to
nurture
this
kind
of
very
fragile
economy
of
the
music
business
in
Philadelphia
is
really
exciting.
To
think
that
that
we
could
actually
take
some
of
those
dollars
and
use
them
for
for
the
the
very
Community
which
they
come
from,
and
it
only
seems
appropriate
too.
C
G
Please
imagine
for
a
moment
getting
off
a
train
at
30th
Street
Station,
coming
up
the
escalator
and
hearing
a
city-sponsored
gospel
choir
or
vocal
Ensemble
reverberating
in
one
of
the
most
iconic
train
stations
in
the
world,
we're
walking
off
a
plane
into
an
arrivals
terminal
and
being
greeted
by
a
local,
Jazz,
Trio
or
singer-songwriter
performing
live
in
the
airport.
These
are
two
simple
examples
that
could
be
implemented
and
immediately
begin
showcasing
to
the
world.
That
Philadelphia
is
the
original
Music
City.
G
Sub-Pop
records
open
a
major
retail
location
within
their
Airport
Philadelphia
has
arguably
more
significant
music
history
than
many
of
these
cities
that
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
today,
which
is
reason
to
provide
a
similar
experience
for
visitors
when
they
arrive
in
Philadelphia.
The
production
and
programming
of
live
performances
in
these
Transportation
hubs
also
present
an
opportunity
for
strategic
Partnerships,
with
Philadelphia's
incredible
performing
arts
schools
and
universities.
Allowing
institutions
like
Curtis,
Temple,
Drexel,
University
Arts,
to
present
their
students
to
the
public
in
these
settings
both
promotes
Philly's
musical
diversity
and
also
its
world-class
educational
offerings.
G
This
particular
building
is
one
of
the
last
physical
remaining
pieces
of
Philly's
music
history.
It
was
recently
in
danger
of
being
demolished
by
a
developer
to
make
an
apartment
building,
but
thanks
to
the
historical
commission
and
the
preservation
Alliance,
it
was
successfully
historically
designated
to
prevent
its
demise.
We
recommend
that
Sigma
be
redeveloped
into
a
multicultural
music
office
headquarters
that
will
include
a
reproduction
of
the
original
Sigma
sound,
recording
studio
offices
for
the
new
music
office,
a
concert
venue
and
a
gallery
space
with
rotating
exhibits.
G
Having
the
city's
support
to
operate.
A
new
facility
like
this
would
speak
volumes
about
the
city's
commitment
to
its
musical
roots
and
the
existing
music
Community.
A
space
like
this
could
provide
meaningful
educational
and
cultural
programming
for
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
and
schools
with
potential
to
generate
significant
tax
revenue
for
the
city.
Thank
you
again
for
your
consideration
of
the
music
industry
task.
Force's
recommendations,
I
yield
my
time.
Thank.
C
You
very
much
Theo
before
we
go
to
the
next
panel.
I
just
want
to
note
that
we
had
a
witness,
Shane,
Shapiro
PhD,
founder
executive
chairman
of
sound
diplomacy,
who
was
going
to
testify
on
recommendation
one,
unfortunately,
because
of
the
delays
and
the
fact
that
he
was
or
is
in
London
and
was
testifying
out
of
London.
He
could
not
remain
on
the
call,
but
I
will
ask
the
chair
David
Ivory.
If
he
could
just
comment
briefly
on
recommendation
one
before
we
go
to
the
next
panel.
I
Well,
what
we
saw
in
the
task
force
overwhelmingly
overwhelmingly
was
the
to
establish
a
music
office.
We
just
took
the
model
from
the
Philadelphia
film
office
saw
with
what
impact
it
had
on
the
development
of
entertainment
of
films
in
this
in
the
city,
and
it
it
just
seems
like
a
very
natural
natural
progression,
see.
What
what's
going
on
here
is
that
you
have
a
great
spot
like
the
cleft
Club.
You
have
other
organizations
like
the
Grammys
in
the
city,
PMA
all
these
different
organizations,
but
there's
no
one
Collective
spot.
I
You
even
have
the
Philadelphia
folks
on
society.
There's
a
lot
of
these
great
great
organizations.
The
thing
is
that
having
an
independent
music
office
could
really
help
Foster
all
of
the
culmination
of
all
these
and
have
the
spot
where
tourists
can
come.
Where
do
I
want
to
see
music?
What
do
I
want
to
contact
the
worst?
People
want
to
recorded
Studios.
What
studio
would
be
the
best
so,
but
there's
no
real,
centralized
place
where
people
from
out
of
town
or
even
in
town
for
that
matter
can
go.
I
A
C
C
S
The
construction
had
just
begun
and
what
there
is
today,
which
is
a
high-rise
I,
began
thinking
about
the
other
studios
in
Philadelphia.
From
that
same
era
and
sigma
sound
was
immediately
at
the
top
of
my
list.
So
I
set
off
to
find
out
what
happened
to
the
212
North
12th
Street,
Building
I
walked
from
Broad
and
pine
to
12th
and
race
and
found
that
the
sigma
building
was
still
standing
in
relatively
good
shape.
S
Although
it
looked
abandoned,
I
spent
my
ride
back
to
my
shop
thinking
about
what
to
do
and
who
to
call
to
find
out
more
information
on
Sigma
and
I
have
known
a
little
bit
about
historic
preservation
and
heard
of
the
preservation
Alliance
of
Philadelphia.
So
that's
where
I
decided
to
go
first,
the
initial
phone
call
seemed
to
be
the
right
one,
because
in
November,
13th
2020,
the
sigma
sound
Studios
building
won
a
spot
on
the
Philadelphia
register
of
historic
places.
S
S
Back
in
1963,
The,
Beatles,
first
U.S
single,
she
loves
you.
It
was
released
in
1963
in
only
a
thousand
an
edition
of
a
thousand
and
then
re-released
in
1964,
and
it
went
to
number
one
on
the
billboard
charts
here
in
America,
the
single
was
mastered
in
that
212
North
12th,
Street
Building
under
a
studio
called
Reco
art
and
it
was
released
by
a
local
label
called
Swan
records
in
1973.
S
At
the
request
of
Don
Cornelius
Sigma
houseband
mfsb
recorded
the
opening
theme
song
to
Soul
Train,
which
had
recently
supplanted
American
Bandstand
as
the
most
popular
dance
show
on
National
Television,
though
the
show
was
based
in
New
York.
The
theme
was
named
tsop
the
sound
of
Philadelphia
and
became
a
number
one
hit
and
is
now
credited
as
one
of
the
harbingers
of
the
Disco
era.
S
The
Disco
B,
commonly
known
as
the
four
on
the
floor
was
the
Mainstay
of
the
Trump's
drummer
Earl
young
throughout
the
early
70s,
a
recording
error
in
1975
session
for
the
song
Bad
Luck
by
Harold
Melvin,
and
the
Blue
Notes,
where
Earl
Young's
hi-hat
was
too
loud
in
the
recording
is
said
to
have
established
the
loud
hi-hats
in
Disco
without
disco,
you
wouldn't
have
house
music,
hip-hop,
music
or
pop
music,
but
that
makes
a
great
Point.
Even
the
mistakes
made
at
Sigma
went
on
to
shape
the
world.
S
Lastly,
I
fully
restore
all
the
recommendations
presented
here
today
by
the
music
industry
task
force,
but
specifically
recommendation
number
one.
We
are
well
aware
that
city,
council
and
the
hearing-
and
this
hearing
in
particular,
is
not
about
funding
our
vision.
However,
creating
a
Philadelphia
music
office,
that's
purpose
is
to
facilitate
and
support
groups
like
ours.
We
see
as
an
essential
part
of
moving
forward
as
well
as
saving
our
past.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
T
Greetings:
councilman:
oh
chairman,
Ivory,
members
of
council
committee,
members,
colleagues
and
fellow
philadelphians.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
I
am
Marcus
Bryant
AKA
rated
R
CEO
of
loud
series.
I
am
a
singer-songwriter
producer
who
works
with
John
Legend,
her
Diddy
ludicrous
and
many
others.
T
The
first
is
Market
the
strengths
of
Philadelphia's
Rich,
music
history
and
the
current
boom
of
music
venues
and
artists.
Philly
is
internationally
recognized
for
its
role
as
the
birthplace
of
America.
The
landmarks
and
museums
sell.
The
tale
of
the
road
to
Independence
and
the
building
of
a
Nation
residents
and
tourists
alike,
flock
to
the
Liberty
Bell
and
wait
in
line
to
take
a
picture
with
the
Rocky
statue
at
the
foot
of
the
equally
famous
steps
of
the
Philadelphia
Museum
of
Art,
the
city's
Rich
musical
history.
T
Industry
Pioneers,
like
Gamblin
Huff,
who
created
the
sound
of
Philadelphia,
American
Bandstand,
the
Philadelphia,
Orchestra
and
Marion
Anderson,
should
be
as
Anonymous
with
Philadelphia
as
a
Cheesesteak,
and
our
sports
fans
are
with
the
recent
surge
of
Philly
Bourne
and
Rey's
artists
receiving
accolades
Jasmine,
Sullivan's,
Grammy,
wins,
Quest,
loves,
Oscar
and
Grammy,
and
a
number
of
new
venues.
Every
musical
act
should
stop
here
on
their
tour
and
festivals,
should
consider
us
for
their
home
base.
T
I
believe
it's
imperative
to
continue
to
lift
and
promote
just
how
unique
our
City's
creative
influence
music
is
and
what
it
will
mean
to
the
world
for
generations
to
come.
I
believe
it
should
be
as
prominent
as
Independence
Hall,
remembering
our
history
and
focusing
on
the
future
of
music
will
keep
the
impact
of
Philly
competitive
with
other
major
music
hubs
in
the
U.S.
T
Secondly,
the
Redevelopment
of
Sigma
sound
Studios
concerning
the
Redevelopment
of
Sigma
cell
I
have
a
special
connection
to
Sigma.
It
was
one
of
the
first
major
Studios
I
recorded
at
Mike
and
Joe
tarja.
May
they
rest
in
peace,
would
allow
me
to
come
in
after
hours
and
work
on
music
at
no
cost.
Moments
like
this,
coupled
with
their
generosity
and
support,
helped
build
confidence
in
myself
as
a
writer
producer
and
artists
in
the
game,
propelling
me
to
eventually
perform
and
work
with
major
artists
locally
and
across
the
world.
T
Lastly,
to
develop
an
awareness
campaign
for
the
fair
compensation
for
working
musicians,
some
venues
at
times
pay
artists
and
bands
a
low
flat
rate,
but
profit
multiple
times
that
in
cover
charges,
tickets,
alcohol
and
food
sales.
This
is
an
unfair
practice,
especially
since
the
main
draw
of
the
event
is
the
music
awareness
campaigns
will
Challenge
and
encourage
the
city's
establishment
to
support
our
musicians
so
that
we
can
survive
while
providing
high
level
entertainment
lending
to
the
morale
of
our
city.
T
T
Music
is
ingrained
in
almost
every
aspect
of
our
lives
and
being
able
to
enjoy
our
favorite
artist's
life
is
something
many
look
forward
to
I
know
from
experience
that
the
amount
of
time
effort
resources,
artists
need
just
to
prepare
for
the
performances
outweighs
the
compensation.
Music
is
essential
and
change
is
Paramount.
Thank
you
for
listening.
C
U
Thank
you,
sir.
My
name
is
Jesse.
Lundy
I've
been
a
concert
promoter
in
Philadelphia
for
27
years
now,
I've
seen
the
coming
and
going
of
a
lot
of
venues.
I
want
to
First,
say
very
quickly
that
one
of
the
first
opportunities
I
have
in
Philadelphia
was
to
record
in
the
big
room
at
Sigma.
When
you
talk
to
people
in
other
cities
about
music
in
Philadelphia,
it's
certainly
at
the
top
of
most
people's
lists.
The
amount
of
money
that
other
cities
like
Memphis,
have
spent
restoring
the
stacks
studio
and
Museum.
U
U
We
got
very
far
down
the
road
with
this
prior
to
the
pandemic
and
I
believe
that
had
the
pandemic
not
happened,
we
would
probably
be
taking
action
on
this.
I'll
speak
primarily
about
the
milk
boy.
Sorry
about
milkboy
on
Chestnut
Street,
which
does
not
at
this
time
have
a
proper
loading
zone
at
all
across
the
street.
Is
the
hospital
on
the
other
corner
is
parking
for
scooters,
which
I
use
and
appreciate,
but
you
can't
unload
there
and
the
other
Corner
which
is
currently
being
renovated.
U
U
A
questionnaire
was
sent
out
to
venues
to
see
what
it
was
that
their
needs
were
with
this
and
it's
a
major
consideration
like
the
last
gentleman
said:
artists
are
not
making
tons
of
money
playing
any
of
these
rooms,
I'm
sure
and
walk
outside
and
find
yourself
having
been
towed
or
a
parking
ticket
really
can
put
a
damper
on
on
an
evening.
I'm
also
a
musician
and
I
have
done
the
park,
run
your
gigantic
amplifier
and
all
your
guitars
in
and
try
to
make
it
back
before.
The
parking
authority
gets
there
and
it's
a
challenge.
U
So
it's
a
consideration,
even
if
it's
just
during
certain
hours
or
done
with
a
placard
or
something
like
that
to
have
that
consideration
for
musicians
makes
a
huge
difference.
Like
Tommy
Joyner
said
earlier,
there's
a
lot
of
money
moving
through
this
town
in
the
live
concert
sector
and
it's
a
big
consideration
that
I
know
that
the
musicians
would
appreciate.
The
last
thing,
I
want
to
say
really
quickly
is
to
go
back
to
the
idea
of
music
playing
when
people
step
off
of
an
airplane
or
off
of
a
train.
U
That
was
another
one
that
we
got
real
really
far
down
the
road
with
certainly
with
the
airport
prior
to
the
pandemic
and
I
think
it
sets
a
certain
tone
for
visitors
to
come
in
and
hear
Philadelphia
music.
We
have
a
lot
of
really
big
bands
in
this
town
and
have
had
since
the
beginning
of
time,
so
it
wouldn't
be
hard
to
put
together
a
playlist
which
I
believe
chill
Moody
had
even
offered
to
put
together
on
behalf
of
us.
Those
three
things
are
worth
consideration:
I
appreciate
your
time
and
I
yield.
My
time.
C
E
Go
all
right
there
we
go
all
right,
it's
more!
It's
more
of
just
a
comment.
I
really
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
testimony
and
you
know:
I
I
grew
up
working
in
the
restaurant
business
on
South
Street
I
mean
I
frequent
jobs
and
many
other
to
trocadera
for
years
really
glad
to
see
Sigma
I
mean
it
is
this.
The
historical
value
of
preserving
it
is
is,
is
very
good,
I'm
glad
that
people
are
actually
fighting
to
save
our
heritage
here
in
Philadelphia.
So
thank
you.
C
C
Here,
okay,
so
we
will
have
you
on
panel
four,
so
what
I'm
gonna
do
if
you're
prepared?
If
not,
we
have
your
written
testimony,
but
what
I
will
do
is
I
will
call
in
the
order
of
Bernie
Resnick,
Jack,
McCarthy,
Kerry,
Park
and
then
Lewis,
Anthony,
Delice
and
so
Bernie.
Would
you
provide
us
with
your
name,
identify
yourself
and
begin
with
your
testimony?
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
very
much
councilman.
My
name
is
Bernie
Resnick
I'm,
a
musician
that
went
to
law
school.
As
you
can
see
behind
me.
My
instruments
are
behind
me
and,
interestingly
enough,
I'd
like
to
build
on
what
Mr
Lundy
said
a
moment
ago
before
I
have
my
prepared
remarks,
which
is
that
I
was
invited
to
play
a
jazz
show
tomorrow
evening
which
I
accepted.
But
the
first
question
I
asked
when
I
was
invited
was
not
how
much
am
I
being
paid.
It
was
Where.
B
Can
I
park
my
car
to
unload
that
gigantic
instrument
without
having
to
get
a
parking
ticket
or
drag
it.
Three
blocks
down
the
road,
and
so
it
is
a
very,
very
important
item
and
probably
as
we
called
it
in
the
task
force,
meetings,
low-hanging
fruit,
something
that
won't
hurt
anybody,
but
can
help
a
lot
of
people
and
I
think
something
that's
very
easy
to
do.
Basically,
I'm
an
entertainment
lawyer
and
a
musician
I've
practiced
in
this
area
of
the
law.
B
For
35
years,
my
wife,
Sally,
Madison
and
I
run
a
entertainment,
Law
Firm
here
in
Philadelphia
I'm,
also
an
adjunct,
professor
of
law
at
Villanova,
Law
School,
where
Sally
and
I
teach
the
course
of
entertainment,
law
and
I
serve
on
multiple
task
forces
and
Boards
of
organization.
Boards
of
directors
of
various
Arts
organization,
I've
also
been
honored
with
being
elected
to
be
a
member
of
the
music
industry
task
force
the
rest
of
my
background.
I'll
yield.
You
can
prepare
written
testimony
and
I
think
it's
better
that
we
listen
to
the
other
panelists.
B
We
worked
very
hard
for
a
long
time
to
put
this
together
and
Mr
Delise
Mr,
Ivory
and
I
were
among
the
authors
of
this
document.
The
relevant
recommendation
that
I
feel
is
the
main
reason
that
City
councils
should
adopt
our
recommendations.
Is
our
recommendation
to
quote
identify
sources
of
funding
for
sustained,
dedicated
efforts
to
grow
Philadelphia's
music
economy?
B
There's
no
dispute
that
the
plethora
of
Arts
organizations
and
cultural
activities,
which
we
normally
see
here
in
William
Penn's
Green
Country
Town
as
he
called
it,
are
a
significant
contributor
to
Philadelphia's
tax
base
and
the
Region's
overall
value
as
an
attractive
tourist
destination
for
visitors
and
also
the
proud
home
to
millions
of
souls.
So,
in
my
opinion,
in
order
to
compete
for
the
tourism
dollars
to
retain
local
residents,
the
city
of
Philadelphia
should
take
several
steps
as
its
guiding
principles
in
connection
with
our
recommendations.
B
First
I
think
the
council
should
invest
in
the
cultural
economy
by
providing
dedicated
funding
for
arts
and
culture
events,
presenters
venues,
creators
entertainers
a
separate,
fully
funded
independent
Arts
fund
within
the
city
budget,
as
well
as
dedicating
a
portion
of
financial
assistance.
Coming
from
the
federal
government
to
the
creative
Community
is
an
obvious,
sensible
investment
in
the
city's
future.
Second,
allocating
a
portion
of
the
five
percent
Amusement
tax,
but
the
city
already
collects
on
all-for-profit
ticket
sales
to
fund
the
Arts,
especially
since
artistic
events
generate
the
amusement
tax
in
the
first
place.
B
Why
should
it
go
into
the
general
fund
when
it's
the
music?
That's
creating
the
payment
of
the
tax
shaving
a
little
bit
of
that
off
to
fund
an
office
to
help
musicians?
I
think
is
an
easy
way
to
dedicate
some
of
the
money
that
the
music
industry
earns
to
help
that
industry
and
to
help
the
city
and
turn.
B
Third,
let's
create
a
taxpayer-funded
permanent,
fully
staffed
arts
and
culture
office
charged
with
developing
and
implementing
programming,
which
will
entertain
the
public
support
the
creators
in
the
venues
and
give
the
next
generation
of
creators
of
all
backgrounds
an
equal
opportunity
to
enter
the
entertainment
industry.
This
office
could
also
serve
as
an
ambassador,
a
cheerleader
and
an
advocate
for
the
rich
cultural
heritage,
which
will
continue
to
benefit
the
residents
and
the
visitors
of
Our
Fair
City
in
the
spirit
of
supporting
music.
B
In
the
Arts
of
Philadelphia
and
following
up
on
my
prior
testimony
on
various
occasions
before
this
committee,
I
also
encourage
the
city
to
fully
restore
funding
for
the
office
of
Arts
culture
in
the
creative
economy
and
the
Philadelphia
cultural
fund,
their
upcoming
budgets,
you
know
covid-19
really
was
devastating
to
what
all
of
us
have
had
to
endure
in
our
industry.
Finally,
let
me
just
take
suggest
we
all
take
a
moment
to
remember
the
late
Philadelphia
born
recording
artist,
Rick
and
Allen,
who
performed
as
pnb
rock.
B
He
was
recently
tragically
murdered
just
a
few
short
months
ago,
while
eating
lunch
with
his
domestic
partner
in
Los.
Angeles
today
would
have
been
rakim's
31st
birthday.
Unfortunately,
pnb
rock
is
not
the
only
person,
or
even
the
only
recording
artist
whose
life
has
been
tragically
cut
short
by
gun
violence.
If
City
governments
in
Philadelphia,
Los,
Angeles,
Houston,
Chicago
and
many
other
places
around
the
nation
were
able
to
stop
the
seemingly
endless
epidemic
of
homicides.
I
would
gladly
trade
that
for
Arts
legislation
any
day
of
the
week,
I'm
submitting
written
testimony
as
well
and
I.
B
C
W
Well,
thank
you
councilman.
Oh,
my
name
is
Jack
McCarthy
and
I'm
a
long
time.
Philadelphia
music,
historian
and
archivist
I've
managed
major
archival
projects
for
the
Philadelphia
Orchestra,
which,
if
you
saw
today's
Philadelphia
Inquirer,
there's
a
big
article
about
the
orchestra
donating
its
archives
to
the
University
of
Pennsylvania.
I
was
heavily
involved
in
that
project,
but
I've
also
managed
major
projects
for
the
Mann
Music
Center
historical
and
archival
projects.
The
Philadelphia
Jazz
Legacy
project,
I,
write
and
lecture,
give
walking
tours
curate
exhibits
on
Philadelphia
music
history,
which
I've
been
doing
for
over
40
years.
W
So
I'm
I
have
a
real
passion
for
this
subject.
I
would
like
to
point
out
a
few
aspects
of
Philadelphia's,
really
rich
music
history.
That
haven't
been
touched
on
too
much
in
today's
testimony.
One
is
that
going
back
to
the
late
18th
century.
Philadelphia
was
the
not
just
the
political
but
also
the
cultural
capital
of
the
young
United
States.
All
of
the
great
musicians
were
here
in
Philadelphia.
It
was
like
the
equivalent
of
what
New,
York
or
Los
Angeles
is.
Today
we
were
the
epicenter
of
Music
in
America
at
that
time.
W
You
know
in
the
whole
world
and
responsible
for
a
number
of
groundbreaking
Innovations
over
the
course
of
history,
with
Leopold
stokovsky
and
Eugene
Normandy
as
conductors,
and
the
current
conductor
uniqueness
as
again
is
continuing
that
tradition,
Philadelphia,
jazz
museum
positions
such
as
John
Coltrane,
Dizzy,
Gillespie,
McCoy
Tyner
and
a
host
of
others
literally
transformed
the
direction
of
jazz
in
the
in
the
50s
and
60s
all
based
in
here
here
in
Philadelphia.
Others
have
testified
about.
You
know:
Philadelphia
International
records
and
its
importance.
W
American
Bandstand
was
based
here
in
the
late
50s
and
early
60s.
That
was
the
single
most
influential
and
popular
program
for
popular
music
in
in
America,
so
the
whole
popular
music
industry,
its
epicenter,
really
was
Philadelphia
both
in
the
late
50s
and
early
60s
and
then
again
in
the
70s,
with
Philadelphia
International
records
and
all
of
their
artists.
So
we
have
a
musical
history
that
is
unparalleled,
and
you
know
there
was
this
testimony
about
these
other
cities
promoting
themselves
as
Music
Centers.
We
have
the
bare
bones
of
the
history.
W
It
just
has
not
been
properly
promoted
in
an
organized
sort
of
comprehensive
way.
As
a
music
historian,
I
make
a
point
of
visiting
all
the
great
music
cities
in
America
Nashville
Memphis,
New
Orleans.
They
had
these
whole
ecosystems
of
museums
and
tours
and
historic
sites
and
activities
you
can
do
so.
They
have
these
very
vibrant
live
current
music
scenes,
but
it's
also
based
on
this
Rich
history
that
they
exploit.
We
have
the
Bare
Bones
of
all
of
that.
We
just
have
not
promoted
it
effectively
in
an
organized
comprehensive
sort
of
collaborative
way.
W
W
The
last
thing
I
want
to
say
is
in
my
research.
I
have
discovered
something
interesting:
Philadelphia
had
a
municipal
Bureau
of
music
from
1929
to
1932,
mayor
Mackey
created
this
Bureau
in
late
1928.
It
took
office
in
1929,
it
did
amazing
things,
but
then,
with
the
Great
Depression
of
1932
it
you
know
there
was
just
massive
cutting
of
city
services,
so
it
sort
of
you
know,
fell
under
the
ax,
but
for
three
years
we
had
a
municipal
Bureau
of
Music.
They
did
amazing
things.
W
They
brought
music
to
neighborhoods,
they
distributed
music,
they
sponsored
concerts,
they
had
a
municipal
music
car
which
went
around
to
different
neighborhoods.
They
had
records
to
play
and
they
held
dances
and
parties
and
other
really
crowning
achievement
is
the
Robin
Hood
Dell.
They
were
the
organization
that
really
took
up
the
banner
to
create
an
outdoor
music
venue
for
the
Philadelphia
Orchestra,
which
became
the
robin
Riddell,
which
later
morphed
into
the
Mann
Music
Center.
So
there's
precedent.
A
hundred
years
ago
we
had
a
Philadelphia
music
office.
We
have
the
phenomenal
history.
W
We
have
all
the
infrastructure.
We
just
need
a
coordinating
agency
to
sort
of
put
it
all
together
in
an
effective
way,
so
I
highly
recommend
that
all
of
the
oh
there's
some
Municipal
music
cars.
Thank
you
for
sharing
that
so
I
hardly
endorse
all
of
these
recommendations
and
I
hope
to
see
my
great
City
that
whose
music
is
such
a
passionate
issue
for
me
really
being
properly
promoted
throughout
the
world.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
You
very
much
and
and
quite
frankly,
I
just
learned
something.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
that.
What
I'm
gonna
do
is
our
our
last
witness
is
actually
Carrie.
Park
I
know
that
I
called
on
Doctor,
the
least,
but
he
has
submitted
written
testimony.
If
you'd
like
to
make
a
comment,
if
not
it's
perfectly
fine,
but
I
will
ask
because
Ron
Ash
is
not
available.
C
X
X
I'm,
also
a
member
of
the
city's
arts
and
culture
task
force
and
as
well
as
the
current
Regional
chapter
leader
of
Neva,
the
national
independent
venue
Association
that
was
formed
in
April
of
2020
at
the
onset
of
the
pandemic,
to
represent
independent
venues
and
promoters
across
the
country
to
ensure
their
viability,
I
want
to
say
a
quick
thank
you
to
the
council
members
on
the
global
opportunities
and
creative
Innovative
economy
committee
and
their
hard-working
staff.
We
really
appreciate
your
commitment
to
our
city
and
your
time
here
this
morning.
X
Thank
you
also
to
the
wildly
talented
and
committed
peers
of
mine,
contributing
on
and
off
screen
today.
I
agree.
Council
member,
oh
I've,
also
can't
believe
how
much
I've
learned
today.
Just
in
this
testimony,
surely
you
understand
by
now
from
all
this
information
shared
thus
far
the
prioritization
and
strategy
research
of
resources
around
the
music
industry
in
Philadelphia
is
at
a
critical
point
of
importance
to
Echo
the
sentiment
from
Theo
Anderson
stated
earlier.
Philadelphia
is
the
original
Music
City,
but
Only
We
Know
It
And.
X
We
are
years
behind
other
cities
who
have
chosen
to
put
the
time
effort
and
funds
into
supporting
and
promoting
their
logic,
music,
their
larger
music
economy,
as
prior
testimony
has
identified.
We
have
a
robust
musical
past
present
and,
most
importantly,
future.
That
must
be
fortified
now
to
preserve
what
has
been
support.
All
of
the
incredible
work
happening
right
now
and
also
pave
the
road
for
what's
next
and
on
the
horizon
for
the
Next
Generation.
X
What
these
recommendations
presented
today
also
highlight
is
that
resources
placed
around
Music
City
priorities
have
a
multiplied
impact
that
truly
benefits
all
philadelphians.
With
my
work
at
the
national
independent
venue
Association,
we
were
able
to
gather
Mass
support
to
pass
the
shuttered
venue
operators
grant
program
that
provided
provided
16.5
billion
dollars
in
federal
funding
to
pull
the
independent
live
music
community
Through,
the
worst
of
the
pandemic.
137
million
of
those
dollars
came
directly
to
Philadelphia
organizations
to
help
them
reopen
through
that
effort.
X
We
learned
three
very
important
key
takeaways
that
I
urge
city
council
to
keep
in
mind,
as
you
consider
what's
next
for
Philadelphia.
First
and
foremost,
a
thriving
music
and
particularly
live
music
scene
defines
why
people
want
to
live
work
and
travel
to
a
City
Independent
venues
and
promoters
are
not
just
cultural
Necessities.
We
are
also
Fierce
economic
drivers
with
an
estimated
12
times
multiplier
back
into
the
general
economy
for
every
dollar
spent
within
live
music
businesses.
X
Second
Breaking
Down,
the
Walls
between
non-profit
and
for-profit
entities
when
it
comes
to
Coalition
building
and
providing
support,
is
absolutely
essential
to
success.
Both
sides
need
support
and
must
work
together
to
Shared
goals,
we're
doing
the
same
thing.
We
just
do
it
in
different
ways
and
we
have
to
work
together
and
honestly,
to
put
it
simply:
shared
music
experiences
stay
with
you,
no
matter
your
background.
The
impact
of
those
moments
cross
every
single
line
that
would
otherwise
divide
us,
whether
you
live
for
music
and
everything
that
you
do
or
you
just
support.
X
Small
Business,
Development
and
honestly.
Anything
in
between
investment
for
the
music
industry
is
ultimately
investment
in
people,
and,
at
this
point
it's
support
for
the
very
soul
of
Philadelphia.
Creative
economies
do
not
get
created
overnight
and
we
can
deliberately
decide
to
invest
and
expand
on
our
incredible
foundation.
With
these
recommendations
from
the
music
industry
task
force
and
Beyond
or
honestly,
we'll
fall
farther
behind
and
eventually
face
collapse
of
everything
that
has
been
built
thus
far.
X
C
I
Sure
again,
what
we
were
talking
about
earlier,
some
low-hanging
fruit-
that
I
think
would
be
very
easy
to
accomplish.
We
wanted
to
number
eight
was
to
create
hubs
for
music
and
concert
promotion
material.
What
happens
currently
is
everybody
puts
posters
on
book
on
telephone
poles
like
posts
on
the
side
of
buildings.
It's
trashy,
they
fall
down,
creates
litter.
I
One
of
our
ideas
was
to
create
chaos
in
certain
areas
where
there's
vent
music
venues
like
say
in
Northern,
Liberties
or
in
on
the
campus
of
Drexel,
where
we
can
have
kiosks
that
that
that
show
and
promote
these
individual
shows
just
like
posters,
but
actually
in
digital
formats,
where
it
can
be
uploaded
and
again
maybe
the
music
office
could
handle
this
or
what
have
you,
but
a
way
that
we
can
eliminate
litter
but
yet
have
centralized
places.
It's
like
hey,
what's
happening
tonight.
I
Well,
that
kiosk
down
there
has
pretty
much
everything
that's
going
on
in
the
city
and
I
think
it
would
be
a
great
way
to
help
Foster
that
and
number
nine
again.
Another
low-hanging
fruit
we
feel
is
to
encourage
music
performance,
then
used
to
cater
to
all
ages.
Now
I
know
there's
insurance
issues
that
that
deal
with
this,
but
if
there's
ways
that
we
could
create
certain
shows
for
younger
people
under
21,
we
feel
that
that
would
be
a
really
great
way
to
get
the
Next
Generation
into
the
venues.
I
C
V
I
will
rest
on
my
written
testimony,
except
to
add
that
I
would
certainly
endorse
the
adoption
of
of
the
recommendations
of
the
task
force.
Philadelphia
is
undoubtedly
at
the
center
of
music
activity
in
the
United
States
and
has
been
for
many
many
years
going
back
hundreds
of
years,
as
my
colleagues
have
have
testified,
we
have
a
a
gem.
We
have
a
Shining
Light
in
the
music
industry
that
we
hide
under
a
bushel.
V
We
need
to
let
that
light
shine
and
let
the
rest
of
the
world
know
who
we
are
in
doing
so.
It
will
not
only
benefit
we
who
make
music
Our
Lives,
not
our
livelihood,
livelihoods,
but
our
lives.
We
will
benefit
the
entirety
of
the
United
States
and
specifically
Philadelphia.
Thank
you
very
much
councilman,
oh
for
your.
Your
support
of
of
our
art.
C
C
C
C
I.
One
of
the
things
I
did
is
I
met
with
the
creative
industry
people
there.
It
was
not
hard.
I
just
had
to
write
a
letter,
I'm
councilman,
David
O
from
Philadelphia
and
I'd
like
to
meet
you
and
lo
and
behold,
they
said
we're
happy
to
meet.
You
and
I
went
to
meet
the
film
people
and
the
K-pop
people.
C
it's
a
very,
very
different
country.
Economically,
you
know
not
really
developed
and
I've
seen
the
transformation
over
a
period
of
time,
but
but
one
of
the
things
they
were
not,
they
were
not
a
film
industry
or
a
music
industry.
There
was
no
real
other
than
Korean
traditional
music,
and
basically
they
didn't
really
follow
the
copyright
laws
and
things
like
that.
C
A
little
country
like
Korea,
far
off
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
travel
path
of
where
you
expected
the
world's
music
to
come
from,
is
now
a
music
Giant,
and
that
story,
you
know,
certainly
all
of
everyone
on
this.
A
call
does
know
that,
but
the
public
does
not
what
I
would
say
is
they're
smart
enough
to
understand
where
their
economy
is
going
to
be
built,
how
they
will
gauge,
engage
in
the
global
economy
and
what
they
don't
have.
What
they
don't
have
is
oil.
C
They
don't
have
minerals,
they
don't
have
natural
resources,
they
don't
have
wood.
What
they
have
is
a
lot
of
intelligent,
creative
people
who
who
are
interested
in
getting
into
the
creative
arts
economy,
among
other
things
they
invested
in
the
the
human
beings
that
make
up
their
population,
something
we
should
be
doing.
It
is
something
we
we
have
a
giant
head
start
on.
C
We
have
all
the
resources
and
abilities
if
we
don't
do
that,
it
is
just
a
horrendous
thing
for
us
not
to
do
not
just
for
the
economy
and
and
the
jobs,
and
all
that
which
is
so
important,
but
just
the
people
who
who
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
have
a
sense
of
hopefulness
about
being
the
kind
of
person
they
want
to
be
at
least
not
in
the
city.
They
would
have
to
travel
someplace
else.
It
is
something
that
I
think
we
should
not
be
struggling
with
as
a
city.
C
We
should
invest
and
I
hope.
That
is
something
that
this
report
and
the
creation
of
a
permanent
music
office
and
and
the
centralization
of
expertise
outside
of
politics
adjust
the
music
and
the
music
professionals
leading
the
way
in
in
all
the
areas
of
the
arch
as
well
will
be
so
impactful
for
us.
So
with
that,
I'll
say
that
this
concludes
the
public
hearing
of
the
committee.
We
will
now
go
into
a
public
meeting
to
consider
the
action
to
be
taken
on
the
bill
before
this
committee
today.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
Thank
you
at
this
time,
I'll
ask
the
clerk.
Will
you
please
call
the
roll
to
take
attendance
members
that
are
in
attendance?
Will
please
indicate
that
you
are
present
when
your
name
is
called
also,
please
say
a
few
brief
words
when
responding
so
that
your
image
will
be
displayed
on
screen
when
you
speak.
E
C
Y
C
It
has
been
moved
and
properly
seconded
that
the
final
report
and
recommendations
of
the
Philadelphia
music
industry
task
force
be
adopted
and
be
issued
by
this
committee
to
the
council.
All
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
will
signify
by
saying
I
I
I
I
I,
those
opposed
the
eyes
have
it,
and
the
motion
carries.
The

be
issued
by
this
committee
to
the
council.
At
that
time.
The
whole
Council
will

recommendation.
C
It's
a
long
time
in
coming
I
think,
seven
years
since
we
started
this
and
years
after
I.
Thank
you
all
for
your
expertise
for
for
being
involved
in
this
throughout
the
years
and
I
hope
this
marks
a
very
important
milestone
in
the
development
of
music
and
the
creative
arts
economy
here
in
Philadelphia.
This
concludes
a
business
before
this
committee
on
global
opportunities,
creative
Innovative
economy
today.
Thank
you
all
very
much
for
your
attendance
have
a
great
rest
of
the
day.
Thank
you.
Mr
chairman
