Friends, this is an album that started out as my "solo" jazz/bossa/funk project, but materialized into a collaboration with some of my closest friends. In honor of it's 10th anniversary, it finally made it to Spotify!!! 😁
Please give it a spin or two.

IMO - this lawsuit was complete BS! I don't know who their "experts" were, but they certainly had no business making that decision. Feel free to discuss and chime in.

A quick summary after a couple of days at Summer NAMM: music making and instrument manufacturing is alive and well! Yes, it is a tough business and the competition is stiff, but judging by the amount of interest for it, the enthusiasm of all involved and the amount of both young and older talent out there, I am quite confident that it will be around for a while. Great to see some old friends and make some new ones!

Can't stop listening to these guys. This is a perfect example how to make a simple descending progression super cool, with the (badass) bass carrying the melody.

What is it that I do?

Are you a singer/songwriter? Instrumentalist? Are you having trouble finishing your songs/compositions and making them commercially competitive?

This is exactly the reason I started my page The Ultimate Sideman - to help both aspiring and established independent singer/songwriters realize their dream of making a professionally produced product by offering a highly competitive value, all-in production packages.

For most of my career I have had the pleasure of working one-on-one with a variety of artists in different genres and my collaborations and productions have been featured on television shows such as Entourage (HBO), The Young and The Restless (CBS), New York Med (ABC), Flying High Alaska (Discovery), etc. I am a recipient of numerous awards including a Grammy® Nomination and my work has charted on Billboard, iTunes and Amazon.

A typical song/EP/album package includes all my services - co-writing (if needed), arrangement, recording, instrumentation, mixing and mastering. I also help aspiring artists with copyright practices, establishing a publishing entity and other music industry advice.

I am always happy to listen to your demo ideas, please contact me here.

MY PHILOSOPHY ON PRODUCTION:

Having a vision of what the finished product will sound like as a whole is often overlooked by the artist, which is why every successful project has a talented producer with a vision behind it. A producer wears many hats, from being an administrator to being the creative force behind the project. Some of the producer’s responsibilities are booking the right studio, hiring the right musicians, making sure the project comes in on budget, often co-writing with the artist, and working on arrangements and parts.

Having grown up listening to and studying timeless recordings by icons such as George Martin, Phil Ramone, Quincy Jones and Mutt Lange have influenced my production thinking and techniques on many different levels.

When I am hired as a producer, I often become a band member or an equal collaborator, if it’s a solo artist. Music to me is highly personal and it takes another musician to truly understand what one is trying to say, what emotions one is trying to evoke by their compositions. I am lucky enough to have forged many a lifelong relationships throughout my career by having the ability to establish that connection and understanding.

One of the most important processes to me is pre-production. I sometimes spend a couple of weeks on this process, during which some of the most important decisions are made – choices of songs, keys, tempos and arrangements, and it is often during this process a simple song idea will materialize into a complete song.

During the actual recording process, I often find myself stepping back and let the artist flow with it spontaneously. Some of the most creative things usually come out of nowhere and are often inspired by the surroundings, and I pay very close attention to the overall vibe and keep things light and fun. Making music is supposed to be an enjoyable process, musicians sometimes forget that.

I am a stickler for sound quality. I don’t like to settle for a sound and never use the “fix it in the mix” excuse. As I almost always engineer the sessions myself, I pay a very close attention to what’s going down to “tape” and insist on getting right before it goes to mix.

I am a strong believer in modern recording tools, but I do not rely on them solely. My philosophy dictates that capturing emotion is infinitely more important that having the pitch or tempo be absolutely perfect. Human feelings are evoked by other humans and their actions, not machines.

My biggest creative payoff comes when the project is done and I go back to the original demos, compare them to the finished masters and hear how raw ideas have materialized into a collection of legitimate songs and compositions.
