This is an Encore Presentation of my March 2022 interview with Elliott Randall, one of the greatest guitarists of the Rock era. His solos on Steely Dan's hit “Reelin' In The Years” and Irene Cara's “Fame” are iconic. Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, The Blues Brothers and Toto all asked him to join their bands.

My band, Project Grand Slam, or PGS for short, has released 14 acclaimed albums and numerous singles, crossing multiple genres within Jazz and Rock. I pride myself on the variety of my music. So this episode is a short tour of PGS and a few of our Greatest Hits.“Spring Dance” is the title tune from our 2009 album. It heralds the beginning of springtime, one of the happiest and most anticipated times of the year. Spotify linkMy father was a trumpet player who loved Latin music, and PGS has always had wonderful Latin musicians. I wrote “The Queen's Carnival” to celebrate that Latin tradition. Link“Ma Petite Fleur” - My Little Flower - is a love song ballad. I gave it a French title just because I thought it fit. LinkIn 2015 I reorganized the band and included the first of several outstanding female singers. So I started writing vocal songs for them like “Redemption Road” featuring the exquisite Ziarra Washington. LinkOne of my musical signatures has been to include on each album a reimagined version of a hit from the 1960s, the era when I came of age musically. My first one was Jimi Hendrix's “Fire” sung by the incomparable Kat Robichaud of The Voice fame. LinkMy band has always been at the top of its game when playing live. Here's “Yeah Yeah” recorded live at a festival in Pennsylvania with the superb Marilyn Castillo on vocals. LinkOne of my greatest pleasures in doing the podcast are the musical collaborations that I've done with some of my World Class guests. Here are a few examples.“The Fall Of Winter” I co-wrote with the great Jim Peterik of The Ides Of March and formerly with Survivor. Elliott Randall of Steely Dan fame participated in this one too. Link“All Of The Time” is a gentle, whimsical love song. Tony Carey of Rainbow produced it and added a lovely organ part. Link“This Time”, from the album Bobby M and the Paisley Parade, features the great John Helliwell from Supertramp on sax. And me on the vocal. LinkI went back to my jazz roots with “The Gift”, a collaboration with Grammy winning arranger Michael Abene. He took my ballad and changed it into a big band Samba with me and my PGS bandmates as the rhythm section. LinkRecently I decided to return to my instrumental roots with “Sostice”, a single that I released last year. LinkAnd then most recently I took another single, “The Rich Ones”, and added 8 World Class musicians who had all been guests on the podcast and released a new extended version of the track called “The Rich Ones All Stars” which, I'm pleased to say, has been on fire on YouTube and Spotify. LinkSo there it is. A few of our Greatest Hits by me and my band, Project Grand Slam. I look forward to continuing to write, record and release new music via the podcast.As always, I want to thank you for listening to this podcast, and to my music. Keep on Rockin, and we'll see you in the next episode.RobertProject Grand Slam:Guillermo Barron (Percussion)Tristan Clark (Guitar)Baden Goyo (Keys)Joel E.

This is the WORLD PREMIERE of “THE RICH ONES ALL STARS”, the new extended version of my recent single, “The Rich Ones”. The new version features me and my band, Project Grand Slam, along with 8 World Class musicians who previously have been guests on this podcast. Here's the back story.A few months ago I released a single, “The Rich Ones”, featuring Randy Brecker of Blood Sweat & Tears fame on flugelhorn. The single was very popular, and I decided to do something a bit daring and different. I've had many World Class musicians as guests on the podcast. So I asked several of them if they would record a new solo for the track and I would release a new, extended version of the tune. I'm pleased to say that everyone who I asked agreed.The new version, “The Rich Ones All Stars”, features the following musicians in this order.BILLY COBHAM of Mahavishnu Orchestra fame, recorded a new drum track for the tune. Billy is one of the most revered drummers of all time.I kept RANDY BRECKER'S flugelhorn solo from the original version of the tune because it's just so darn good.JOHN HELLIWELL was the saxophonist in Supertramp, one of the greatest bands of the rock era. John contributed a fantastic sax solo to the piece.PAT COIL is an acclaimed jazz pianist who has performed with Michael McDonald, Carmen McRae and many others. He added a sublime piano solo.PETER TIEHUIS is the heralded Dutch guitarist who performs with the Metropole Orkest. He contributed a wonderful guitar solo.ANTONIO FARAO is the extraordinary Italian jazz keyboard player who has performed with Joe Lovano and Jack DeJohnette among others. Antonio contributed a smokin' Fender Rhodes keyboard solo.ELLIOTT RANDALL is the incredible guitarist who gave the world the unforgettable solo on Steely Dan's “Reelin' In The Years”. Elliott gave me a classic guitar solo for the new track.And last, but certainly not least, is DAVID AMRAM, who is, simply put, a National Treasure at 96 years young. He was Leonard Bernstein's first composer in residence for the New York Philharmonic and also the composer for Shakespeare In The Park among many other accomplishments. David contributed a stunning Pennywhistle solo for the track.So there it is. 8 World Class musicians who have contributed their talent to this project.TO WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO CLICK HERETO LISTEN AND STREAM THE TRACK AND FOR ALL LINKS CLICK HERE---------------------------------------------The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!For more information and other episodes of the podcast click here. To subscribe to the podcast click here .To subscribe to our weekly Follow Your Dream Podcast email click here.To Rate and Review the podcast click here.“Dream With Robert”.

Welcome to a Very Special Episode of the podcast celebrating the show's 3rd Anniversary! I started the podcast in March 2021 during the depths of the pandemic, when musicians like me couldn't play live. It was a bleak time for all of us. I needed to find a creative outlet and so I started this podcast. From the beginning it grew quickly and exponentially. It's been ranked for some time now in the Top 1% of all podcasts. I have listeners worldwide on every continent in 200 countries, and it has won several awards! My guests have included many of the world's most famous musicians and other creatives.Last year to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary I played excerpts from several guest interviews. But for this 3rd Anniversary show I wanted to do something different - and fun. So here's what I decided. After each interview I ask my guest to record a short promo for the podcast. I use these promos at the beginning of other guest interviews. Everyone does their promo a little differently in their own style. After all, they're artists! So I thought it would be fun to put together a montage of promos featuring a slew of my guests. The entire list is below.I want to thank my guests and my listeners for the success of the podcast.

Steely Dan's ELLIOTT RANDALL: Guitar Virtuoso Unleashed

Elliott Randall is one of the greatest guitarists of the Rock era. His solos on Steely Dan's hit “Reelin' In The Years” and Irene Cara's “Fame” are nothing short of iconic. To the uninitiated, it might seem like Elliott has made a career out of saying no to great opportunities. Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, The Blues Brothers and Toto all asked him to join their bands and he said no. But Elliot is different. He has always trusted his intuition. Known as one of the greatest session musicians around, he's the man behind that renowned Reelin' In The Years Steely Dan solo (which is said to be Jimmy Page's favourite ever lead guitar break) among literally hundreds, if not thousands, of other cuts. He also continues to write, produce, consult, engineer, tutor and perform to this day. In this interview we turn back the clock to learn about his upbringing in NYC and his passion for music ignited at a young age. During his formative years, Elliott immersed himself in the vibrant musical culture of the 50s and 60s. He took guitar lessons, honed his skills and his dedication caught the attention of instructors and peers alike. By the time he had ended his teens, Elliott had already been a pro' player for four or five years. In 1967, Musicor Records (who gave the world Gene Pitney) offered him a role as a Staff Musician. He then joined the roots fusion act Seatrain briefly in 1969, and signed as a solo artist, releasing his debut album in 1970. It was the death of his good friend Jimi Hendrix that helped Elliott realise he didn't need to be the rockstar or the centre of attention so he began working with other artists and clients, providing solutions for their musical and commercial success. The most well known four-and-a-half minutes of his guitar life became the lead breaks he added to Steely Dan's megahit Reelin' In The Years in 1972. It has received acclaim from other players and audiences alike. Since then Elliott Randall has played with Joan Baez, Chuck Berry, Kate Bush, The Doobie Brothers, Peter Frampton, Art Garfunkel, Albert Hammond, Bob Marley, Yoko Ono, Gene Simmons, Loudon Wainright III, Gary Barlow of Take That fame, and many, many more. He has also soundtracked jingles for some of world's biggest brands including Coca-Cola, Budweiser, McDonald's, Citi Bank, Procter & Gamble, MTV, ESPN and BBC TV. He's also performed for musicals like Jesus Christ Superstar on Broadway, and has been a musical consultant for Saturday Night Live and the film director Oliver Stone. Elliott's passion for music continues unabated today. His story is fascinating and I hope you will enjoy every minute of it.

The theme of this Music Day episode is Singles.Back in the day - before albums took over - the record business was all about singles. An individual track put out as a 45 RPM record, the kind with the big hole in the middle for the turntable. There was always an A side and a B side to each single. The A side was the featured song. But sometimes a radio disc jockey or the public fell in love with the B side - and that was the one that became a hit.In the last year I've put out two singles that are featured in this Music Day episode. The first, “The Fall Of Winter”, I co-wrote with Jim Peterik of the Ides Of March and formerly with Survivor. Among many other hits, Jim wrote “Eye Of The Tiger” for Survivor which became the theme song for the movie Rocky III starring Sylvester Stallone. He sings lead on “Winter” backed by me and my band, Project Grand Slam, and featuring a wonderful guitar solo by Elliott Randall of Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers fame.The second single is one that I wrote called “All Of The Time”. It's a light, airy, whimsical love song played by me and Project Grand Slam. Tony Carey of Rainbow adds his keyboard magic. The video for this song, created by Aaron Wilhelm, is particularly cool. The link is below.Stay tuned for more Music Day episodes from time to time.“The Fall Of Winter” (Spotify link here) (video link here). “All Of The Time” (Spotify link here) (video link here).  —---------------------------------------- “Dream With Robert Miller”.

The theme of this Music Day episode is Cover Songs.A cover song is when an artist performs a song that someone else has already performed. Most artists have done covers. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, for example, both started out exclusively playing covers before they began to write their own songs.This episode presents two of my covers. I prefer to call them “reimagined versions” because I always try to make my covers as original as possible. The first is “You Really Got Me” by The Kinks. It features the wonderful Lucy Woodward on vocals. Dave Davies of The Kinks has praised our cover. The second is “The ‘In' Crowd”, Dobie Gray's hit that was also a jazz hit for Ramsey Lewis. It features the sublime Ziarra Washington on vocals.Stay tuned for more Music Day episodes from time to time.“You Really Got Me” (Spotify link here) from The Queens Carnival album.

Welcome to the second Music Day episode! The theme of this episode is Latin Music.I grew up in New York City. My father - who played the trumpet - loved Latin music and used to keep the car radio tuned to all the Latin stations. So that's how I first became exposed to this great music with its fantastic beat and feel. Later on, when I formed my band, Project Grand Slam, it so happened that the majority of my musicians came from Latin countries like Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba and Puerto Rico. They brought their wonderful Latin heritage and feel to my music and I decided that I needed to write some Latin songs.“The Queen's Carnival” is from the PGS album of the same name. The title was a bit of a play on words because I grew up in Queens, NY. But I named it after the Royal Queen because when I wrote it I envisioned a big, royal carnival presided over by the Queen. See what you think.“Take Me” is from the album PGS 7. For me it was a kind of road trip through the Latin neighborhoods of New York City. Listen and see if you can hear, smell and taste them.Stay tuned for more Music Day episodes from time to time.“The Queen's Carnival” (Spotify link here) from The Queens Carnival album.

This is the 100th Episode Celebration of the Follow Your Dream Podcast! I started the podcast in March 2021 during the depths of the pandemic. I had been a musician all my life but at that time it was impossible to perform or record or even to rehearse. So I put all of my creative energies into the podcast.The purpose of the podcast is to inspire and motivate people to follow and succeed at their dream, just as I followed my youthful music dream later in life and succeeded.I'm pleased to say that the podcast has grown and developed wonderfully. It's ranked in the Top 1% of all podcasts and we have listeners in 194 countries! How about that! And I've had so many famous musicians and others as guests, in particular a number of musicians who were my heroes as I was coming of age musically in the 60s and 70s.And the icing on the cake is that I've begun to collaborate musically with several of my musician guests.I wanted to celebrate the 100th episode milestone by putting together a kind of montage episode featuring some of the great musicians who I've interviewed. I've taken excerpts from their episodes, but I invite you to listen to their full interviews and also to all of my other episodes. And don't forget all the Bonus Music Episodes and Special Episodes too that I have released from time to time.I hope that you enjoy this 100th Episode Celebration.

Nat King Cole put his life on the line playing music. He was an inspiration to many a young pianist who saw the way to communicate musically. To break down all the barriers that people put in there way. Nat King Cole and Oscar Peterson inspired cats like my guest who grew up in Chicago.....which was brimming with the baddest cats around Elliott Randall, Richard Evans, Morris Jennings, Cash McCall, Charles Stepney and an unlimited amount of Young/Holt. These cats contributed to my guests albums, movie soundtracks and live performances at the Lighthouse or the Jazz Workshop. These melting pot of brethren thrived on commerce based record labels like Chess Cadet which fostered African American roots music like Ahmad Jamal and my guest. It was a month at the London House growing up with those who were inspired by Monk and Blakey Playing with the late great Cedar Walton. My guest is an ambassador of music taking his bands from Bahrain to Tucson. He has lived in the Windy City scene developing the groove, the feel keeping the African swing element into the music.....developing relationships within the urban community which fostered the community integral to melodic invention.

Since 1992, Don Breithaupt has steered his band Monkey House on a path of musical progress. In 2012 when we first connected with Don, the band had just released their third album “Headquarters,” which caught the attention of all us here at Inside MusiCast – most notably how their songs contained a heavy melodic approach reminiscent of Steely Dan. The band’s latest album “Left,” which will be released on June 3, picks up where “Headquarters” left off and includes contributions from some incredibly talented guest musicians, including Elliott Randall, Drew Zingg, Michael Leonhart, Jay Graydon. Kim Mitchell, and Lucy Woodward. “Left” contains brilliantly crafted songs that may be the band’s finest collection to date. In fact, during our chat with Don today, you’ll hear the world premiere of a few songs from the album. Inside MusiCast is pleased to welcome Don Breithaupt.
