I had a chance to catch up with veteran studio legend Steve Sykes and he shared a lot of cool stories and studio tips in this interview. We had a blast! His advice for young people starting in the business is straight inside scoop and he shares it towards the end of this video.

Steve’s knowledge of diverse musical styles is demonstrated in his wide list of credits which include many Latin artists.  He has worked with superstars Enrique Iglesias, Luis Fonsi and Cristian Castro, Puerto Rican songstress Ednita Nazario, Thalía, Maria Conchita Alonso and Argentinian ska rockers “Los Fabulosos Cadillacs”.  Many of these albums went gold or platinum.  After mixing a couple of albums for platinum selling Spanish rock band Seguridad Social, they asked him to come to Spain to produce an album.  That collaboration resulted in the hit album “Camino Vertical”.  A year later, Steve again headed to Spain to produce another album for the band, “Va Por Ti”.  His international projects also include many for Japanese clients and he has made numerous trips to Japan to record and mix.  Among his Japanese projects are the number one hit and platinum album “Love Again” for popular band Globe and teenage superstar Rie Miyazawa’s first album.  Steve won a Japanese recording award for his work on Mari Ijima’s album “Good Medicine” in 1996.  Recently Steve mixed a best of album for Italian star Umberto Tozzi with producer Greg Mathieson.
 
Other musical genres Steve has worked in extensively are jazz and smooth jazz.  He has recorded and mixed for most of the major artists on the smooth jazz charts including multiple albums for artists including The Rippingtons, David Benoit, Mindi Abair, Rick Braun, Jeff Golub, Wayman Tisdale, Peter White, Paul Taylor, Everette Harp, Brian Culbertson, Diane Schuur, Eric Marienthal and Warren Hill.  He mixed an album for reggae group Black Uhuru which went to the top of the Billboard World Music charts.  He recorded tracks for two albums by Lalah Hathaway, both of which had hit singles on the Adult R&B and Hot R&B charts.  Steve recorded and mixed the reunion album for jazz fusion band Seawind.  He recorded and mixed two albums for singer Miki Howard.  “Miki Sings Billie” was her tribute album to legendary jazz vocalist Billie Holiday and featured full orchestra recordings by Steve at Capitol Studios.  In 2008, Steve recorded and mixed Al Jarreau’s top Contemporary Jazz Christmas album “Christmas”.
 
Recently Steve has recorded tracks for celebrity DJ “DJ Cassidy”, whose first single “Calling All Hearts” features Robin Thicke and Jessie J.  Cassidy’s album “Paradise Royale” hosts a who’s who of the hottest studio musicians and performers in the world including drummer John “JR” Robinson, guitarists Paul Jackson Jr and Nile Rodgers, bassists Marcus Miller, Freddie Washington, Verdine White and Bobby Watson.  Among the performers on this album were Larry Dunn and Philip Bailey, thus reuniting Steve with his former band mates. This time Steve was the engineer and not the guitar player. In an issue of Electronic Musician magazine, Steve gives an in depth interview where he explains some of the recording techniques, studios and equipment he used in the making of this album.

Jazz Star Rob Mullins returns to Colorado for concert and workshop March 1, 2025

Los Angeles, CA February 13, 2025

MDR CA 90292

Grammy nominated pianist and composer Rob Mullins will return to Colorado for a special concert and workshop at Muse Performance Space in Lafayette.

Mullins-a graduate of Lincoln High (Denver Public Schools) will host an interactive music marketing workshop at 3:30 pm followed by a concert at 7 pm.

"Im very excited to share my keys to success for musicians which I've learned over 40 years in the music business" said Rob today from his recording studio.

"In 2024, I did 11 concerts and sold out every show. I'll be explaining how I did it with practical examples and stories-and taking questions for 90 minutes.

I'm calling it 40 years in 90 minutes-what you need to know" he added.

Mullins left Colorado to study music in New York City in 1980 and was advised by his teacher to leave college at UNC Greeley and begin recording his songs.

He has now done 42 albums under his own name (mostly in jazz) and became a Grammy Nominated artist for his "Soulscape" album which went Top 10 on the Billboard charts. He followed that with "5th Gear" (1988) "Jazz Jazz (1989) and "Tokyo Nights" (1990) all of which reached the Billboard Top 20 on the Jazz Chart.

"The MUSE is a great space where I did a show last summer with Colorado local artists and I really fell in love with the place. Pete Lewis and Claire Church are fantastic supporters of live music and are a bright spot in the arts community" Rob added. "They have a great grand piano and are all about the music.

I just heard the the City of Lafayette gave them a grant for the Monday night jam session which is fantastic! I'm a big supporter of Muse Performance Space" Rob added.


Following the workshop, the Rob Mullins Neu Quartet will take the stage to present selections from Rob's vast discography of compositions. He will be joined by Taylor Clay-tenor sax, BK Kahn-drums, and Seth Lewis-bass.


Currently Rob is on tour promoting his latest album "Best of the Trio" which is a collection of his works with great musicians that can be heard in Colorado on KUVO radio. "I'm lucky to have grown with KUVO over the years and even as I've been mostly on tour with flautist Hubert Laws these past years, I'm always happy to come to Colorado to check out KUVO, Dazzle, all the amazing expansion of jazz and live music that Colorado has become" he said. "My shows have become mini high school class reunions for the DPS and it is always great to see the kids and grandkids of my classmates at my shows....I love it!"

Grammy nominated pianist and composer Rob Mullins will return to Colorado for a special concert and workshop at Muse Performance Space in Lafayette.

Mullins-a graduate of Lincoln High (Denver Public Schools) will host an interactive music marketing workshop at 3:30 pm followed by a concert at 7 pm.

"Im very excited to share my keys to success for musicians which I've learned over 40 years in the music business" said Rob today from his recording studio.

"In 2024, I did 11 concerts and sold out every show. I'll be explaining how I did it with practical examples and stories-and taking questions for 90 minutes.

I'm calling it 40 years in 90 minutes-what you need to know" he added.

Mullins left Colorado to study music in New York City in 1980 and was advised by his teacher to leave college at UNC Greeley and begin recording his songs.

He has now done 42 albums under his own name (mostly in jazz) and became a Grammy Nominated artist for his "Soulscape" album which went Top 10 on the Billboard charts. He followed that with "5th Gear" (1988) "Jazz Jazz (1989) and "Tokyo Nights" (1990) all of which reached the Billboard Top 20 on the Jazz Chart.

"The MUSE is a great space where I did a show last summer with Colorado local artists and I really fell in love with the place. Pete Lewis and Claire Church are fantastic supporters of live music and are a bright spot in the arts community" Rob added. "They have a great grand piano and are all about the music.

I just heard the the City of Lafayette gave them a grant for the Monday night jam session which is fantastic! I'm a big supporter of Muse Performance Space" Rob added.


Following the workshop, the Rob Mullins Neu Quartet will take the stage to present selections from Rob's vast discography of compositions. He will be joined by Taylor Clay-tenor sax, BK Kahn-drums, and Seth Lewis-bass.


Currently Rob is on tour promoting his latest album "Best of the Trio" which is a collection of his works with great musicians that can be heard in Colorado on KUVO radio. "I'm lucky to have grown with KUVO over the years and even as I've been mostly on tour with flautist Hubert Laws these past years, I'm always happy to come to Colorado to check out KUVO, Dazzle, all the amazing expansion of jazz and live music that Colorado has become" he said. "My shows have become mini high school class reunions for the DPS and it is always great to see the kids and grandkids of my classmates at my shows....I love it!"

About today's guest:  
A BRIEF HISTORY…With his formative years spent in New York City, Roberto’s musical talents were highly enriched through in-depth exposure to vast musical styles. Classical, Jazz, Latin, Funk, Rock, Hip-Hop, Pop, and Soul music became an integral part of his musical palette. Years of traveling and performing with notable artists around the world have made Roberto’s already broad repertoire one of outstanding magnitude. The combination of his innate groove, musicality, dexterity, and worldwide playing experiences make Roberto a world-class bass virtuoso, and as many will attest, with a heart as big as his 200 year old standup bass!

Years of honing live performance skills really paid off when he auditioned with Spyro Gyra. Thru 1987 and 1988 Roberto toured and recorded with Spyro Gyra, performing in over 150 concerts in the US and around the world. With Spyro Gyra he recorded “Stories Without Words”, which is to date, one of the group’s most popular albums. Touring continued for Roberto in 1990 when he joined Michael Franks on his Blue Pacific Tour-once again taking him on tour worldwide.

Westward bound. While Roberto was on tour with Michael Franks he took a leap of faith and invited Bobby Caldwell to one of the California shows with Michael, and as fate would have it, Bobby showed up and immediately asked Roberto to join his band. So in 1991, he moved to Los Angeles and started rehearsing with Bobby, To date, Roberto is playing with Bobby for an astonishing 29 year tenure!

In 1993 he took stage with Randy Crawford as her bassist, but his adept demeanor and impressive musicality led Randy to appoint him as Musical Director where he headed tours encompassing the US, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia for over 15+ years.

Since moving to Los Angeles, Roberto has performed and/or recorded with the following artists: George Benson, Christopher Cross, Jeffrey Osborne, Bob James, Al Jareau, Hillary Duff, Diane Schuur, David Benoit, Boz Scaggs, Kirk Whalum, Bobby Caldwell, Patti Austin, Arturo Sandoval, Larry Carlton, Marion Meadows, Jeff Golub, Peter White, Norman Brown, Paul Brown, Boney James, Ric Braun, Michael Lington, Richard Elliot, Joan Sebastian, Johnny Rivers, Euge Groove, Eric Darius, Anna Barbara, Alvaro Torres, Los Trio, Ricardo Arjona, Nils, Banda Blanca.

Dave Tull’s latest release, “Texting and Driving” was the #2 most requested new album of 2018 on SiriusXM Real Jazz, and was featured by NPR’s Susan Stamberg on Weekend Edition. Singing from the drums, Dave brings to the stage a rare combination of joyous songwriting, world-class jazz singing and drumming. Think “Frishberg meets Gershwin”. Dave’s songs have been called both “laugh out loud funny” and inspiring of “soul searching and introspection”, propelling “Texting and Driving” to #5 on the Billboard Jazz Chart, and #3 on the Billboard Comedy Chart in the same week, and 23 weeks on the JazzWeek chart! Dave’s celebrated first CD, “I Just Want To Get Paid”, continues to get regular airplay many years after its release.

]]> Rob Mullins Buzzsprout-9132892 Fri, 03 Sep 2021 12:00:00 -0700 1569 2 8 full false Indian composer and scientist Samir Bodhi is Rob's guest on today's show. Indian composer and scientist Samir Bodhi is Rob's guest on today's show. A resident of Southern California for several decades, Indian born musical visionary and tenured professor Samir Bodhi's multi-faceted life and career reflects the classic immigrant experience of thriving in the pursuit of his creative and academic dreams. While building his resume as an internationally recognized scientist and scholar, under his real name Samir Chatterjee, he applied his virtuosic talents as a guitarist, composer, producer and recording engineer to a multitude of projects involving legendary Indian musicians – including several for his wife, Madhumita Chatterjee, a renowned Bollywood singer.

In 2019, long before COVID-19 upended our world and sparked anxiety about the future like never before, Samir's sorrow and concern for his adopted home country inspired Samir to reach out to a cadre of top Indian based musicians and collaborators to realize his vision for Stairway To Nirvana, his debut album as a new age artist/producer under his own name. Fusing Eastern (Indian) classical music and instruments with modern Western music, Bodhi and his ensemble create a melodically, rhythmically and harmonically transcendent album that offers a musical roadmap to peace in these troubled times. 

"I conceived of this album around June last year," says Samir. "I'm a naturalized citizen and love America, and was dismayed at the anti-immigrant rhetoric that had become part of our political discourse. I was sad to see a world full of racism, hatred, bigotry and misogyny. We were all witnessing a world where the politics of hate based on race or color, and narcissism, had become rampant. More than ever before, the world needed peace, and I've found after many years as a composer and producer, that music is the way to impart this and connect people beyond their many differences." 

"My initial vision was to compose and produce tracks that would create a journey full of the peace, harmony and tranquility on towards the notion of transcending beyond this life into Nirvana," he adds. "I could never imagine that 2020 would be a pandemic year which would so intensely highlight the need for peace and force us to reflect on our life values. The timing now couldn't be more perfect to release Stairway to Nirvana. We believe that we are all the same, one humanity under God, and we sincerely hope that through this music we can bring peace and harmony to our planet and its citizens on every continent."

]]> A resident of Southern California for several decades, Indian born musical visionary and tenured professor Samir Bodhi's multi-faceted life and career reflects the classic immigrant experience of thriving in the pursuit of his creative and academic dreams. While building his resume as an internationally recognized scientist and scholar, under his real name Samir Chatterjee, he applied his virtuosic talents as a guitarist, composer, producer and recording engineer to a multitude of projects involving legendary Indian musicians – including several for his wife, Madhumita Chatterjee, a renowned Bollywood singer.

In 2019, long before COVID-19 upended our world and sparked anxiety about the future like never before, Samir's sorrow and concern for his adopted home country inspired Samir to reach out to a cadre of top Indian based musicians and collaborators to realize his vision for Stairway To Nirvana, his debut album as a new age artist/producer under his own name. Fusing Eastern (Indian) classical music and instruments with modern Western music, Bodhi and his ensemble create a melodically, rhythmically and harmonically transcendent album that offers a musical roadmap to peace in these troubled times. 

"I conceived of this album around June last year," says Samir. "I'm a naturalized citizen and love America, and was dismayed at the anti-immigrant rhetoric that had become part of our political discourse. I was sad to see a world full of racism, hatred, bigotry and misogyny. We were all witnessing a world where the politics of hate based on race or color, and narcissism, had become rampant. More than ever before, the world needed peace, and I've found after many years as a composer and producer, that music is the way to impart this and connect people beyond their many differences." 

"My initial vision was to compose and produce tracks that would create a journey full of the peace, harmony and tranquility on towards the notion of transcending beyond this life into Nirvana," he adds. "I could never imagine that 2020 would be a pandemic year which would so intensely highlight the need for peace and force us to reflect on our life values. The timing now couldn't be more perfect to release Stairway to Nirvana. We believe that we are all the same, one humanity under God, and we sincerely hope that through this music we can bring peace and harmony to our planet and its citizens on every continent."

Jazz Composer/Recording Artist/Berklee Instructor Aubrey Johnson is Rob's guest today on the Planetmullins Podcast. #planetmullins #aubreyjohnsonmusic
With the March 20, 2020 release of debut album "Unraveled" on Outside In Music, Johnson steps out with her first album under her own name. Produced by bassist Steve Rodby of the Pat Metheny Group, it’s an arrestingly beautiful project by an extravagantly creative artist fully in control of her craft as an improviser, arranger, composer and bandleader. Rather than trying to make a splash with an ad-hoc cast of veteran all-stars, Johnson bided her time to record with the stellar musicians who’ve accompanied her on a years-long journey. She arranged all the pieces, but fully credits her bandmates, who first came together in 2014, with shaping the music over the course of dozens of gigs, particularly regular performances at the lamented Cornelia Street Café.
“I’ve been wanting to record for a while, and it took me time to really live with the music,” Johnson says. “It took me years to feel comfortable recording my stuff but we honed these pieces on stage and I’m so happy with how it turned out.”
Possessing a luminous, elastically crystalline soprano, she’s joined by a sterling band built on a highly responsive rhythm section with pianist Chris Ziemba, drummer Jeremy Noller, and bassist Matt Aronoff (who gained particularly relevant experience touring with Luciana Souza). Adding
 striking orchestral textures are violinist Tomoko Omura and Michael Sachs on bass clarinet and alto sax. The great Brazilian jazz musician Vitor Gonçalves adds masterly accordion work on two tracks.
The album opens with the gorgeous Johnson-arranged jazz/pop
excursion “No More ‘I Love You's’,” a hit for Annie Lennox originally written and recorded by the 1980s English duo The Lover Speaks (aka David Freeman and Joseph Hughes). Johnson accentuates the dreamy vibe with a gossamer setting, her voice gliding over Sachs’ woody bass clarinet counterlines.
Johnson includes two songs by her colleagues, but the album serves most significantly as a showcase for her impressive songwriting. The heart- bearing ballad “Love Again” revels in vulnerability, with a melody that rises as the emotional stakes get higher. Set to a seductively slinky groove played with precision by Noller, the title track combines a spritely, dancing melody with a devastating portrait of depression. The languorous “Lie In Wait” captures the nagging inner monologue inspired by prolonged separation in a relationship, and “These Days” is her captivating, art song setting for a verse by her brother, the poet Gentry Johnson.
The two songs contributed by her bandmates offer a glimpse into the deep pool of talent in which she’s delving. Michael Sachs composed and arranged the sumptuously detailed pop jazz song “Happy to Stay,” an exquisite melody buoyed by Tomoko Omura’s insistent pizzicato pulse. Omura, knowing Johnson’s affinity for Brazilian music, composed and arranged the unusual samba “Voice Is Magic” for Johnson, adding the additional challenge of a lyric in Japanese.
For sheer, breathtaking beauty, it’s hard to surpass pianist Jimmy Rowles’ “The Peacocks,” a tune also known as “A Timeless Place” after vocalist Norma Winstone added her lyrics. Rarely sung until recently, the song requires tremendous poise, control and range, and Johnson makes the piece her own. Her abiding passion for the treasure-laden Brazilian songbook adds another jolt of creative energy to the album’s concluding tracks. She renders Jobim’s bossa nova standard “Dindi” in Portuguese with just the right sense of saudade (or wistful longing), while taking some liberties with the melody the second time around.
