Episode 74 The Polyphonic Synth Journey of Fusion Jazz Playlist Jan Hammer, “Darkness / Earth In Search Of A Sun” from The First Seven Days (1975 Atlantic). I am including two versions of the same track from Jan Hammer, a master synthesist who moved from monophonic to polyphonic synths gradually, making the best used of the expressive qualities of each technologh. This track is from 1975 and uses Oberheim modules, probably the 2-voice or even 4-voice, but along with the Minimoog and what sounds like an uncredited Mellotron. Hammer was insistent in the notes for this solo album that none of the sounds were made with the guitar. This makes the contrast of this track with the next version performed live with Jeff Beck and even more interesting contrast. Producer, Engineer, Piano, Electric Piano, Moog and Oberheim synthesizers, Drums, Percussion, Composer, Jan Hammer. 4:30 Jeff Beck With The Jan Hammer Group, “Darkness/Earth In Search Of A Sun” from Live (1977 Atlantic). Here is the same tune written by Hammer for his solo album, now performed live with Jeff Beck. I think one can assume that all soloing in done on a Minimoog while all other synth sounds, including strings, are provided by the Oberheim modules and Freeman string synth. Bass, Fernando Saunders; Drums, Tony Smith; Guitar, Effects, Jeff Beck; Moog, Oberheim, and Freeman synthesizers, Electric Piano, Timbales, Jan Hammer; violin, string synthesizer, Steve Kindler. 7:55 Billy Cobham, “Leaward Winds” from Magic (1977 CBS). Early days of the Oberheim polyphonic, used again as background comping and fills to back-up the guitar and piano leads. Bass, Randy Jackson; Guitar, Peter Maunu; Piano, Oberheim Synthesizer, Mark Soskin; drums, producer, Billy Cobham. 3:38 Herbie Hancock, “Hang Up Your Hang Ups” from Man-Child (1975 Columbia). Along with Jan Hammer, Herbie Hancock was an early pioneer of using polyphonic synths in his ensemble. While I don't hear the Oberheim module being played until about the 5:30 mark in this track, I wanted to include it because Hancock uses many synths at his disposal to achieve the overall sound. The next two tracks from the Eddie Henderson album Mahal used a similar but updated keyboard ensemble, including the Oberheim 8-voice polyphonic and Prophet 5 synths. Bass, Henry Davis, Louis Johnson, Paul Jackson; Drums, Harvey Mason, James Gadson, Mike Clark; Guitar, David T. Walker, Blackbird McKnight; Guitar, Synthesizer, Melvin "Wah Wah" Watson; Percussion, Bill Summers; Piano, Fender Rhodes, Arp Odyssey, Pro Soloist, 2600, String Ensemble, Oberheim Polyphonic Synthesizer, Hohner D6 Clavinet, Herbie Hancock; Saxophone, Flute, Ernie Watts, Jim Horn; Soprano Saxophone, Wayne Shorter; Soprano Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Saxello, Bass Clarinet, Bass Flute, Alto Flute, Bennie Maupin; Trombone, Garnett Brown; Trumpet, Bud Brisbois, Jay DaVersa; Tuba, Bass Trombone, Dick Hyde. 7:27 Eddie Henderson, “Cyclops” from Mahal (1978 Capitol). Bass, Paul Jackson (2); Congas, Percussion, Bill Summers; Drums, Howard King; Fender Rhodes, Clavinet, ARP 2600, Oberheim 8 Voice Polyphonic, Prophet-5, ARP Strings Ensemble, Minimoog, Yamaha CS-80 Polyphonic synthesizers, Herbie Hancock; Flute, Hubert Laws; Guitar, Ray Obiedo; Piano [Acoustic], Mtume; Prophet-5 Programming, John Bowen; Tenor Saxophone, Saxophone [Saxello], Bennie Maupin; Trombone, Julian Priester; Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Eddie Henderson. 5:19 Eddie Henderson, “Prance On” from Mahal (1978 Capitol). Bass, Paul Jackson (2); Congas, Percussion, Bill Summers; Drums, Howard King; Fender Rhodes, Clavinet, ARP 2600, Oberheim 8 Voice Polyphonic, Prophet-5, ARP Strings Ensemble, Minimoog, Yamaha CS-80 Polyphonic synthesizers, Herbie Hancock; Flute, Hubert Laws; Guitar, Ray Obiedo; Piano [Acoustic], Mtume; Prophet-5 Programming, John Bowen; Tenor Saxophone, Saxophone [Saxello], Bennie Maupin; Trombone, Julian Priester; Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Eddie Henderson. 5:17 Rolf Kühn. “Cucu Ear” from Cucu Ear (1980 MPS Records). This German disc features keyboardist Rolf Kühn and highlights the Roland Jupiter 4, a 4-voice polyphonic synth. Bass, N.-H. Ø Pedersen; Clarinet, Roland Sting Synthesizer, Roland Jupiter 4 Synthesizer, Roland Amps, Rolf Kühn; Drums, Alphonse Mouzon; Engineer, Walter Quintus; Guitar, Peter Weihe, Philip Catherine; Steinway Acoustic, Fender Rhodes pianos, Roland Amps and Echoes, Joachim Kühn; Reeds, Charlie Mariano, Herb Geller; Trombone, Egon Christmann, Wolfgang Ahlers; Trumpet, Klaus Blodau, Larry Elam, Mannie Moch, Paul Kubatsch. 5:05 Rolf Kühn. “Key-Alliance” from Cucu Ear (1980 MPS Records). On this track the Roland Jupiter 4 is played by Joachim Kühn, brother of Rolf. Bass, N.-H. Ø Pedersen; Clarinet, Roland Sting Synthesizer, Roland Amps, Rolf Kühn; Drums, Alphonse Mouzon; Engineer, Walter Quintus; Guitar, Peter Weihe, Philip Catherine; Steinway Acoustic, Roland Jupiter 4 Synthesizer, Fender Rhodes pianos, Roland Amps and Echoes, Joachim Kühn; Reeds, Charlie Mariano, Herb Geller; Trombone, Egon Christmann, Wolfgang Ahlers; Trumpet, Klaus Blodau, Larry Elam, Mannie Moch, Paul Kubatsch. 5:41 Didier Lockwood, “Ballade Des Fees (Quartet Without Drums)” from Live In Montreux (1980 Disques JMS). Look who's featured on this album by French violinist Dider Lockwood—it's Jan Hammer again. Only this time he's using an unnamed “polyphonic synthesizer.” Your guess is as good as mine on this one, although he was using Oberheim and Yamaha CP70 keyboards around this same time. Bass, Bo Stief; Drums, Gerry Brown; Rhythm Guitar, Marc Perru; Polyphonic Synthesizer, Jan Hammer; Tenor Saxophone, Bob Malach; Violin, Didier Lockwood. 4:50 Didier Lockwood, “Fast Travel” from Live In Montreux (1980 Disques JMS). Another track with Jan Hammer using an unnamed polyphonic synth. There is a really smart Minimoog solo beginning as about 1:21, polyphonic fills are most apparent around beginning around 4:08. Bass, Bo Stief; Drums, Gerry Brown; Rhythm Guitar, Marc Perru; Polyphonic Synthesizer, Jan Hammer; Tenor Saxophone, Bob Malach; Violin, Didier Lockwood. 7:06 Georges Acogny, “Karimagie” from First Steps In (1981 String). This track uses a Polymoog effectively for some nice runs and comping, beginning around 3:40. I do not know what instrument was used to create the the white noise heard in the opening and throughout since I don't believe you could do that with the Polymoog. Bass, Dominique Bertram; Composed By, Khalil Chahine; Drums, Paco Sery; Guitar, Georges Acogny, Kamil Rustam; Percussion, Sydney Thiam; Piano, Patrick Gauthier; Soloist [Acoustic Guitar], Larry Coryell; Soloist [Bass], Nicolas Fizman; Soloist [Electric Guitar], Kamil Rustam; Polymoog synthesizer, Rachid Bahri. 8:30 Georges Acogny, “1st La Rosée” from First Steps In (1981 String). Acogny is a guitar player so the polyphonic synth tends to play a supporting role to the string work on this track. In this case, the Prophet 5 is used, most notably at about 30 seconds into the track. Bass, Nicolas Fizman, Electric Piano [Fender Rhodes], Olivier Hutman, Guitar, Kamil Rustam, Guitar [Ovation], Georges Acogny, Piano, Jean-Pierre Fouquey, Soloist [Trombone], Hamid Belhocine, Prophet 5 Synthesizer, Didier Egea. 4:37 Combo FH, “Zelený Muž (Green Man)” from Věci (Things) (1981 Panton). Here is a short track that uses the Italian-made Farfisa Syntorchestra, a rare keyboard made in 1978 that had a split keyboard, part polyphonic string synthesizer and part monophone synth section. Mostly used on European tracks by German composers including Klaus Schulze, here is an unusual jazz fusion example from a group in the Czechoslovakia. This group was known for its unusual instrumentation, including lead bassoon heard on this track. Bass Guitar, Václav Pátek; Bassoon, Percussion, Milan Sládek; Percussion, Richard Mader; Organ, Farfisa Syntorchestra synthesizers, Percussion, Leader, Daniel Fikejz; Percussion, Bořivoj Suchý. 1:48 String Connection, “Quasi String Waltz” from Workoholic (1982 PolJazz). Recorded in Poland and distributed by the Polish Jazz Society. This album features some strings sounds played on the Polymoog, which was still being used for its unique sounds even by this late date, because the Polymoog had been retired by this time. Listen for fills and chords beginning around 1:08. Bass Guitar [Gitara Basowa], Krzysztof Ścierański; Drums [Perkusja], Zbigniew Lewandowski; Piano [Fortepian Akstyczny], Violin [Skrypce], Polymoog Synthesizer, Krzesimir Dębski; Piano, Hammond Organ , Polymoog Synthesizer, Trombone [Puzon], Janusz Skowron; Tenor Saxophone [Saxoton Tenorowy], Soprano Saxophone [Saxofon Sopranowy], Andrzej Olejniczak. 3:19 Mike Elliott, “For Janny” from Diffusion (1983 Celebration). Another interesting album of guitar-based fusion jazz with synthesizer touches. Seemingly self-produced in Minnesota. Although the Minimoog is also used on this recording, I selected a track that was primarily using the Polymoog, beginning around 50 seconds. Fender Bass, Rick Houle; Drums, Gordy Knudtson; Flugelhorn, Bobby Peterson; Gibson ES-347 guitar, Ryoji Matsuoka Flamenco guitars, solid body kalimba; Mike Elliott; grand piano, Polymoog and Mini-Moog synthesizers, Ricky Peterson; Producer, Mike Elliott. 4:42 Martin Kratochvíl & Jazz Q, “Trhanec (The Muffin)” from Hvězdoň Asteroid (1984 Supraphon). From Czechoslovakia, a brilliant ensemble of musicians led by keyboardst Martin Kratochvíl. Here is another mix of monophonic synths and the polyphonic Oberheim 4-voice, heard in the opening riff that's repeated throughout. Bass Guitar, Přemysl Faukner; Drums [Bicí Nástroje], Pavol Kozma; Electric Guitar [El. Kytara], Twelve-String Guitar, Fender Rhodes, Minimoog, ARP Omni, Oberheim 4-Voice Polyphonic synthesizers, Leader [Vedoucí], Engineer [Recording], Recording Supervisor [Recording Director], Martin Kratochvíl. 4:34 Opening background music: Short piece by Thom Holmes using the Arturia Prophet 5 plug-in. Opening and closing sequences voiced by Anne Benkovitz. Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes. For additional notes, please see my blog, Noise and Notations.
A fabulous conversation with the great Gerry Brown! Gerry talks about growing up in Philadelphia and meeting his childhood friend Stanley Clarke and their musical path together. Moving to Europe. Playing with Larry Coryell and Chick Corea. Getting the gig with Lionel Richie and moving to Los Angeles. Playing with Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross and much more!
Gerry chats with us about some of the work he has been doing over the past 18 months, supporting organisations who have not traditionally seen their users as customers, the new world experience of facilitating virtual conferences, and his frustration with the state of customer service in the UK right now.We hear about the importance of maintaining human connection in a digital world and how so many businesses are getting this wrong and seem to be unaware of how bad they actually are, how customer expectations fundamentally haven't changed, and how as a CX profession we have to do more.We hear about the sporting influences on his life, being the oldest runner at his local park run, his Iron Man Triathlons, and the importance of being fit for life.

This week on episode 4 we will peek into the delightful lifestyles of three musicians. My first guest is Lo Van Gorp who plays saxophone and is one of the top backing vocalists in the Netherlands and a great solo artist. He has a passion for good wine and has been a connoisseur importing and selling it over the years. My second guest is none other than Marjorie Barnes. Born in Haarlem, New York, she has had a tremendous vocal and stage show career in America and Europe. She was for a while one of the singers in the 5th Dimension and later played the lead role in 'Bubbling Brown Sugar' and other musicals. Now residing in Europe she's been teaching vocals at the conservatory and performing her solo shows with top musicians behind her. My third guest is the legendary drummer Gerry Brown. Who hasn't he recorded of played with as being one of renowned session drummers of his generation. Gerry has worked with John Lee, Chick Corea, Stanley Clark, George Benson, Stevie Wonder and now with Diana Ross just to name a few music icons.
Join David Frangioni and Billy Amendola for this week's MD video/audio Podcast as they speak with legendary pocket-drummer Gerry Brown about his tours with Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, George Benson, Lionel Ritchie, and more. For drum tech tips, one of the best in the business, Carlos Guzman, pops in as a surprise guest to share a few of his stories working with Gerry. Carlos also shares his private (side of the stage) video clips of Gerry in action.
En los primeros tiempos del jazz la batería se limitaba a marcar el pulso haciendo funciones de simple metrónomo. No habían solos y el baterista solía ser el músico menos preparado de cualquier banda. De esos primeros bateristas podemos mencionar a Zutty Singleton, natural de Bunkie, y Baby Dodds, nativo de Nueva Orleans, que tocó con King Oliver y con los Hot Seven de Louis Armstrong. Ambos bateristas eran de Luisiana y trabajaban con los músicos de Nueva Orleans. Dodds fue el primero en ejecutar breaks del estilo de redobles que marcaban el final de una sección del número musical y que serían el inicio del posterior desarrollo de los solos. Fue en Chicago donde la batería adquiriría una mayor relevancia, especialmente tras la fulgurante aparición de Gene Krupa. Krupa llegó a establecerse en la cumbre del período del swing con la memorable interpretación por la orquesta de Benny Goodman de la pieza Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing), en la que hacía un largo solo de batería. Poco más tarde Jo Jones innovó trasladando la atención desde el bombo al hi-hat, una herencia que acabarían recibiendo bateristas tan importantes como Buddy Rich y Louie Bellson. El creador del estilo moderno en la batería de jazz es, sin duda Kenny Clarke. El perfil de un bateria desde entonces será el de un músico con formación académica completa que suele poder tocar otros instrumentos, leer música y hasta hacer arreglos, y que ya no es el miembro menos preparado de la banda, sino, frecuentemente, el más conocedor. Poco más tarde Max Roach perfecciona el estilo de Clarke, aportando nuevas técnicas. Roach fue el primer baterista en tocar líneas melódicas perceptibles con su instrumento, a menudo en respuesta a los solos y ejecuciones de sus compañeros, liberando con ello a la batería de su papel de mero instrumento rítmico y ampliando su campo a los ámbitos de la armonía y la melodía; también fue Roach el primero en demostrar que el swing podía tener lugar en compases diferentes del 4/4. A partir de los 50s aparece Art Blakey, que había empezado como pianista. Blakey fue uno de los primeros bateristas en investigar las raíces africanas del jazz, y las incorporó a su estilo, de fuerte inspiración en el bop. Fue gran divulgador del mundo del jazz en los escenarios con sus famosos Jazz Messengers. Desde 1956 hasta 1967, Joe Morello cobró fama por el trabajo que hacía en el cuarteto de Dave Brubeck, en especial sus experimentos con métricas inusuales.8 . De Blakey y Roach proceden los principales bateristas de la era del hard bop, como Art Taylor, Louis Hayes, Dannie Richmond, Pete La Roca, Roy Haynes, Albert Heath y, aunque llegaría mucho más allá de los límites de ese género, Elvin Jones, tal vez el baterista más imitado de la historia junto a Max Roach. Entre los bateristas de la escena de Nueva York que desarrollaron un estilo moderno del swing destacan Buddy Rich, el ejemplo paradigmático de técnica virtuosa o Louie Bellson, que introdujo el doble bombo en la orquesta de Duke Ellington. En la Costa Oeste se desarrolla un estilo diferente: Shelly Manne es el prototipo de baterista melódico; por su parte, Chico Hamilton, miembro fundador del cuarteto de Gerry Mulligan, comenzó en el cool antes de pasarse al jazz fusión. Tony Williams alcanzó notoriedad aún siendo un adolescente, primero con Jackie McLean, y después con Miles Davis, con quien grabaría algunos álbumes que pasarían a la historia como parte del segundo quinteto clásico de Davis. Después fundó su propia banda: The Tony Williams Lifetime. Williams era capaz de competir con los mejores exponentes del instrumento, y su estilo, derivado de los de Kenny Clarke y Max Roach, era original y extremadamente potente. Entre los bateristas más importantes de la corriente principal contemporánea que surgieron desde finales de los 60 en adelante, hay que citar a Billy Hart (n. 1940), Narada Michael Walden, Victor Lewis, Eddie Gladden, Al Foster, Don Alias, Jeff Hamilton, Paul Motian, Joe LaBarbera, Elliot Zigmund, Michael Di Pasqua, el noruego Jon Christensen, el sudafricano Makaya Ntshoko o el polaco Janusz Stefanski. La llegada del jazz fusión a principios de los 70 devuelve en cierta forma la batería a sus comienzos: el énfasis en el bombo y la necesidad de marcar el primer tiempo del compás con claridad son aspectos que retoman una nueva generación de bateristas entre los que destacan el ya mencionado Tony Williams y, además, Alphonse Mouzon, Steve Gadd, Peter Erskine, Harvey Mason, Lenny White, Jack DeJohnette, Gerry Brown, Leon "Ndugu" Chancler, John Guerin, Billy Cobham o Danny Gottlieb. A partir de los 80, hay que señalar a Brian Blade, Terry Lyne Carrington, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Omar Hakim, Dave Weckl o Dennis Chambers. Hoy os vamos a hablar del único instrumento genuinamente norteamericano, la batería y hemos creído oportuno comenzar por el principio. Agarraos los cinturones que hoy vamos a escuchar a los amos del ritmo.

North drums are some of the most unique looking drums ever made. They are horn shaped fiberglass drums that were made between the late 60's through the early 90's and were created by my guest, Roger North. Early on, Roger played the first North Drums tom on stage at Woodstock 1969 with his band Quill before he ever actually went into production and created the business. A few years later, he was in full swing and creating drums for Billy Cobham, Alan White, Gerry Brown, Doug Clifford and many more. He shares with us the entire story of why he created these "Dr. Seuss-like drums" and the ups and downs of his journey as a business owner. Roger has had many great experiences and learned lots of lessons that he very openly shares with us. North Drums are still some of the most unique percussion instruments ever created and are becoming more and more valuable as the years go on. Enjoy this episode!

Special Guest: Gerry Brown aka The Customer Lifeguard One other unwelcome consequence of Covid-19 is yet more mind-numbing, teeth grating jargon, and among many others that need to be consigned to the literary dustbin are “the new normal” and “unprecedented”. While the latter may make still have some relevance, there never will be a “new normal”. Rapid societal changes, many driven by Covid-19, that are taking place in both our personal and professional lives, reflect the fact that there is no shortage of speed, resilience and determination for many organisations who truly understand that time isn’t on our side. But everyone isn’t moving at the same speed, or with the same level of awareness and understanding. So how do we keep up, or better still, stay ahead and avoid a race to the bottom? In this latest broadcast Gerry Brown will share some thoughts, ideas, insights, with some iconoclasm thrown in for good measure, on how people, industries and organisations are doing well, and not so well, to rewire for our imperfect future. Gerry Brown, aka The Customer Lifeguard, is on a mission to save the world from bad customer service. He helps businesses save customers at risk of expiring and breathes life into their customer service operations and customer experience strategy. Gerry has provided organizational leadership on people development, business transformation, customer engagement and technology enablement for some of the largest companies in the UK, Canada, and EMEA. Join us as we discuss how people, industries and organisations are doing well, and not so well, to rewire for our imperfect future. Listen Live (Archive Available) Host: Jo Dodds

Lies, Damned Lies, and the Wrong Statistics Measuring what matters to customers for positive outcomes – The end is Insight Measuring customer satisfaction is often as unreliable and surprising as election or referendum polls. The downside of believing what people say they will do and what they do can have many politicians and business people going in entirely the wrong way politically and strategically. Many businesses look at customer satisfaction as a necessary evil and some cases don't devote enough time and attention to it.

In the sporting world as in many other areas of human endeavour, we’re familiar with and count on, the idea of winners and losers.

Is Customer Experience Drowning In A Sea Of Indifference? On this edition of Business Connections Live Steve Hyland asks Gerry Brown, The Customer Lifeguard – Is Customer Experience Drowning In A Sea Of Indifference? – Keeping it Afloat in an Ocean of Lip Service. Head-line grabbing, customer service nightmares, featuring the likes of BA, United Airlines, Southern Rail, various banks and utility companies continue unabated. These stories often come complete with lame, poorly timed, insincere executive statements and hard to believe PR excuses. This suggests that, at best, many companies are indifferent to, or at worst, simply don’t care about, their customers. Getting customer experience right and keeping customers happy, is not that easy, but neither is it a task of Herculean proportions, when done intelligently, authentically and inclusively. To successfully engage employees, provide customers with an outstanding experience and create a high performance culture, businesses need to be fully aligned, with strong internal & external communication to be able to overcome the challenges that come with daily business life. These are key elements in developing Organizational Engagement that is more than just lip service or a hastily contrived tactical shotgun marriage between departments. Companies that fail to do this typically have negative customer outcomes, increased attrition, endless internal finger pointing, severe reputational damage and disappointing financial results. Gerry Brown introduced us to the Four Principles of Customer Experience earlier this year. He will dig deeper into these principles to address the major shortcomings that have led to many of these customer incidents landing, expanding and compounding already bad customer experiences. Gerry Brown aka The Customer Lifeguard, is on a mission to save the world from bad customer service. He helps businesses who are leaking revenue to save customers at risk of defecting and breathes life into their customer service operations and customer experience strategy. On this edition of Business Connections Live, Gerry will explain: What customers want more than anything else when things go wrong Why the biggest challenge to effective communication is the fear of litigation What senior level commitment really means to customer experience success The value of empowering employees to make it personal and let them be themselves How strong Organizational Engagement is more than the sum of the parts Why a close knit corporate community operating with agility, flexibility & adaptability can trump dumb rules and arcane policies Learn the business fundamentals on how your business can achieve: Establishing an open and inclusive communications network to provide real time updates on any and all issues affecting customers and colleagues The creation of a corporate culture that pays more than lip service to customer centricity and builds long term, profitable customer relationships and strong employee performance How to ditch the scripts, act naturally and put the responsibility for great customer experience back in the hands of your best people An environment where employees are continuously provided the right information at the right time and the encouragement to take affirmative action and not be constricted by policies and procedures How a top down – bottom up customer experience philosophy can gain acceptance, enhance commitment, and increase the contribution, of all employees For more great information visit our Guests website or follow them on Social Media Website:www.customerlifeguard.com Twitter: @savingcustomers @gerrybuk LinkedIn: Gerry Brown *******You Can Contact Business Connections Live****** The UK’s Leading Online Business Channel: Subscribe Here! http://businessconnectionslive.com/BC...

Marketing is a state of flux. Marketing automation enabled Marketing to capture, track and target sales leads. But now the game has changed again. Customer experience (CX) is the new kid in town. And CX requires a softer, more emotionally intelligence approach to marketing, working with Sales and Service Departments to build trust, loyalty, and customer advocacy. But what does this mean for the CMO, Marketing systems & applications, and recruitment? And where does AI fit in? In this podcast, Gerry Brown, Research Director for Customer Experience, sits down with Miles Dawson to reveals the answers using IDC's latest European research data insights and discusses the key trends and best practices.

As well as composing tracks for many marketing trailers for PIXAR, LUCAS, MARVEL and Disney Infinity, His original compositions have been featured on major network, video games and cable television channels including ABC, ESPN, The Disney Channel, NBC, CBS, CW, VH1, TELEMUNDO, the History Channel and the NHL. As a performer, he has toured extensively and played in Major international festivals as well as many prestigious venues nationally. Since relocating to Los Angeles, Ariel has worked on a huge variety of different projects including: arranging and mixing songs for Platinum selling artist Martina Mcbride, engineering and arranging for Grammy award winner Kitaro, Programming and arranging tracks for Lee Ritenour, arranging and producing a soundtrack for grammy and Oscar winning composer Dave Grusin Composing Music for music library giants Megatrax and Immediate Music, mixing and tracking with Grammy award winning producer Gerry Brown as well as working with accomplished film composers Michael Levine and Randy Miller. Ariel Mann’s musical journey began as he started taking piano lessons at the age of eight. Right away, his teachers recognized he possessed perfect pitch and an immaculate sense of rhythm. Growing up surrounded by different styles of music ranging from classical and jazz to rock and pop, Ariel was eager to expand his musical horizons. Picking up the guitar at the age of 11, Ariel became captivated by the instrument’s boundless range of expression. Practicing countless hours a day, Ariel was already playing his idol’s guitar solos by the time he was 14. Not content to play other people’s music, Ariel turned to jazz and improvisation where he could express himself more freely. At the age of 15, Ariel was accepted to Israel’s prestigious performing arts high school Thelma-Yellin. During his high school years, Ariel’s musicality got to flourish by playing with talented musicians and taking composition and arranging classes with the best teachers. During his time in Thelma yellin, Ariel was the featured soloist of the Big Band and started to perform regularly in different clubs around Tel Aviv. Upon graduation, he was accepted on a full scholarship to the highly respected Rimon College for Music. During his 2 years in Rimon, Ariel continued to raise the level of his performance on the guitar as well as the piano, and further his studies in orchestral composition. At the same time Ariel was invited to perform on a regular basis with Israel’s best music ensembles including Musica Nova and The 21 st century ensemble. Ariel’s music started to gain more recognition as he was playing at some of Israel’s most respected clubs and venues including the Hall of Culture, Camelot and many more. While attending Rimon, Ariel became the first person to win both the composition contest and the Jazz performance contest. These awards resulted in him being chosen to represent Israel at the ISAJ convention in Boston, which features the best young jazz musicians from all over the world. Upon returning to Israel, Ariel was granted a scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. While at Berklee, Ariel studied guitar and composition with well known performers and composers such as Wayne Krantz, Mick Goodrick, Joe Lovano and John Bavichi among others. In addition to his academic activities, Ariel continued to perform in the Boston area with world class musicians on a regular basis. During summer breaks, Ariel would return to Israel to record guitar and keyboard with accomplished producers such as Yinon Yahel, Offer Nissim and Yaniv Shulman. Ariel’s affinity to a wide range of musical styles and his ability to relate to them on both the theoretical and the expressive level, led him naturally to choose film scoring as his major at Berklee. After the completion of his degree, Ariel chose to move to Los Angeles to pursue his musical career. While building his own studio, Ariel was acquainted with Grammy nominated Engineer and producer Gerry Brown, with whom he collaborated in various capacities such as guitar, bass, keyboard player as well as mixing and recording. Some of the artists Ariel and Gerry worked with include Stanley Clark, Leon Ware, Illiyun, Satomi, Tash and Jesicca Cellious among others. After spending the first 6 months mostly working in the studio, Ariel felt it was time to go back to performing on stage. Some of the artists he has performed with include Australian platinum selling artist Guy Sebastian, grammy nominee world renowned sufi musician Omar Faruk Tekebilek, grammy award winning gospel artist Michelle Williams and many more local and international artists in Los Angeles.
