Having
worked as a musician, recording session player, arranger,
music teacher, vocal coach, songwriter, publisher and musical
contractor, I have had the privilege of working with top names in
the entertainment business and have accrued a number of credits
worldwide for my work. I have always enjoyed music in all of its
aspects and find great pleasure in performing, making and renewing
acquaintances from all over the world.
I have played
on or arranged more than 5,000 recordings over the years. Some of
these have been on independent labels while most have been major
label releases. My work included finding ways to make small band
music sound big, fat and full. My use of brass and reed instruments
added to the success of many records and my arrangements have
inspired a number of aspiring musicians over the years.
Having worked
for many years as a "first call session player on bass/guitar", my
guitar solos have been heard on such recordings as: Diana
Ross' "Love Hangover", Thelma Houston's "Don't
Leave Me This Way", and other Motown recording artists such
as "Smokey" Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye's "Let's
Get It On", and The Temptations . Other artists include
Ray Charles, Vikki Carr, Donna Summer, Jose Feliciano, Ike
& Tina Turner, Billy Preston and blues |
singer
Little Johnny Taylor. I worked with producer
Hal Davis and other producers, even co-produced
with him and others over the 20+ years that I worked at
Motown Records.
My musical
arrangements have been heard on T.V. commercials such as
"Love Machine" for KFC and "The Fresh
Prince of Bel Aire", Clearasil, also movie
sound tracks such as "Thank God Its Friday" and
Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" .
An extensive
study of computer based music production coupled with experience in
record engineering, audio equipment design and consulting, as well
as having worked as a music arranger, producer and background
vocalist, provides me with the expertise to present my musical works
with a very up-to-date sound.
