Participant songs can be written to industry standards or developed in all other directions (spoken or sung, lyric and music looking for one another), possible collaborations.
Moderated and led by internationally acclaimed musician, G. F. Mlely, the Pacific Songwriters Workshop will gather in Redondo Beach for songwriters to present songs for mutual group critiquing. G. F. Mlely is acclaimed for the originality of his work, both as performer and for his writing which has been produced and recorded by Freddy Hubbard, Phil Perry, John Tesh, The Cunninghams, the latter on a Grammy-Nominated album. George Harrison produced “Gopinath,” which Mlely arranged, directed, and adapted from an east Indian chant.
Songs to be presented can range between being works in progress to studio recorded final product. Songs can be written to industry standard or developed in other directions. Songs can be words - spoken or sung - looking for music or music looking for words.

Mlely's current projects have been to write book, lyrics, dialogue, and music of two 2-act musicals, "VENICE <http://www.jazcraft.net/Venice.html>" and “LIFE DEATH and JAZZ <http://www.jazcraft.net/LifeDeathandJazz.html>,” the former having been given a reading by the Bookshop Theatre Ensemble, Cindy Jenkins, dramaturg/director, now with Boston Court Theater, and the latter a “cabareater” set mainly in Amsterdam, based on a true story of Mlely’s adventures (and misadventures) there.
