recording standards

[ericbevans]

I'm interested in recording a album of jazz standards. Could anyone give me an idea of what is involved in getting the rights to those type of songs and if there is any upfront cost. Thanks!

there is a certain period of copyright for the music and another for the lyrics.

if it is over a certain age you don't need to get rights. but i don't know how long that is
