This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter, recording artist and co-founder of the bank Chicago, Lee Loughnane, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass.  About Lee Loughnane:   Lee Loughane of the band Chicago joins host John Snell today to talk about discovering the trumpet and committing to a career in music, the groundbreaking idea of putting horns front and center in a rock and roll band, and stories of writing and recording some of those famous and iconic trumpet parts!   Lee Loughlane was eleven when his father asked him if he wanted to play an instrument. His dad had played trumpet when he was a kid, all the way through his time in the Army Air Force, but the horn was now up in the attic. Fortunately, that meant Lee already had a great instrument: a Bach Stradivarius.   Lee's dad took him to meet the band director at St. Celestine grade school in Elmwood Park, Ralph Meltzer, who said “show me your teeth.” He wanted to make sure they were straight so the mouthpiece wouldn't tear up the inside of Lee's lip. Lee passed the visual audition and became a trumpet player that day.   Lee met Walt Parazaider at Depaul University; Walt was playing in a band called The Missing Links and invited Lee to come sit in with them. Terry Kath and Danny Seraphine were also in the band. When they broke up, Walt wanted to form a horn band, which was initially going to be a Las Vegas show band, but turned out to be Chicago.   Once they got signed to a record deal with Columbia Records, the group went to New York and recorded the Chicago Transit Authority album at the 42nd Street studio. Having never recorded before, it was very intimidating standing in front of a Neumann mic. These mics pick up every aspect of your playing, so there's a learning curve until you figure out how to relax and blend with the band. The group learned more and more about the recording process through the years and as the technology developed, they developed along with it.   Chicago continue to tour the world every year, including with original members Lee Loughnane, James Pankow and Robert Lamm. Lee has put together a traveling studio in order to record on the road, with much less overhead. The late great Phil Ramone advised them to, "Get a great mic and a great preamp." You can't start with mediocre stuff and make it great later. It's got to be the best sound right off the bat, then you can enhance the sound even more in mixing and mastering.   Lee and audio engineer Tim Jessup convinced the rest of the band that the studio was going to be good enough quality to make a record with, and they recorded a version of “Dialogue”, on the bus, one instrument at a time and then mixed. Everybody was so pleased with the final product that Chicago XXXVl was recorded over 2013-14 without going into a studio.   Chicago have kept very busy throughout their career, and it's not slowing down. In fact, they're busier than any of them could have ever imagined they'd be. As Lee says, "I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing."   What a pleasure to be joined in this episode by rock icon and horn legend Lee Loughnane, someone who helped pioneer an entire genre of music and gave horns exposure to a whole new audience.   Episode Links: Official Website for the band Chicago Cover art photo credit: Blushing Cactus Photography Podcast Credits: “A Room with a View“ – composed and performed by Howie Shear Podcast Host – John Snell Audio Engineer – Ted Cragg

The Girl From Ipanema 2. Doralice 3. P'Ra Machucar Meu Coracao 4. Desafinado 5. Corcovado 6. So Danco Samba 7. O Grande Amor 8. Vivo Sonhando Getz/Gilberto es un álbum de jazz/bossa nova del saxofonista estadounidense Stan Getz y el guitarrista brasileño João Gilberto, acompañados del pianista y compositor Antônio Carlos Jobim. Grabado en 1963 y lanzado en marzo de 1964 bajo el sello Verve Records, fue producido por Creed Taylor, quien ya había grabado con el saxofonista sus trabajos previos en el género, siendo Jazz Samba de 1962 el más destacado. En el álbum también participa como vocalista la debutante Astrud Gilberto, colaborando en "The Girl from Ipanema" (también conocida por su nombre original "Garota de Ipanema") y "Corcovado". Getz/Gilberto está conformado en su mayoría por composiciones de Jobim, e incluye dos sambas ("Doralice" y "Para machucar meu coração") demostrando el respeto de los artistas por la música tradicional brasileña de la época pre-bossa nova. Getz/Gilberto es considerado el álbum cumbre de la bossa nova a nivel mundial, responsable de la popularización del género, y uno de los discos de jazz más vendidos de todos los tiempos. Recibió la aclamación de la crítica y fue un éxito comercial, vendiendo 2 millones de copias en 1964 y alcanzando el #2 en el Billboard 200. En los Premios Grammy de 1965 fue nominado en diez categorías, alzándose con cuatro premios: Mejor grabación del año (Astrud Gilberto y Stan Getz por "The Girl from Ipanema"), Álbum del año (João Gilberto y Getz), Mejor interpretación de jazz instrumental - solista o grupo pequeño (Getz) y Mejor arreglo para álbum, no clásica (Phil Ramone). Entre sus múltiples elogios, el álbum ha sido incluido en varias listas de los mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos, como Rolling Stone y Vibe entre otras; además, se convirtió en el primer álbum en recibir el Grammy a Mejor grabación del año y Mejor álbum del año. Firmado por Stan Getz y Joao Gilberto, el disco cuenta también con Tom Jobim al piano, y autor de las canciones, y presenta al mundo a Astrud Gilberto, la joven mujer de Joao. Astrud llegó de casualidad al proyecto y el éxito de los dos temas que cantó la convirtió en una estrella. Getz/Gilberto es el resultado de la unión del saxofonista americano Stan Getz y el guitarrista brasileño João Gilberto. Ambos músicos son considerados leyendas del género y concibieron, con la colaboración del compositor y pianista Antônio Carlos Jobim, un disco que no puede faltar en la colección de cualquier amante del Jazz o Bossa nova. Stanley Gayetzki, más conocido como Stan Getz (Filadelfia, Pennsylvania, 2 de febrero de 1927 - Malibú, condado de Los Ángeles, California, 6 de junio de 1991), fue un saxofonista tenor de jazz estadounidense. Considerado como uno de los más importantes saxofonistas tenores de la historia del jazz, fue conocido por el sobrenombre de The Sound ("El Sonido") debido a su tono cálido y lírico apreciable en temas como su versión de Garota de Ipanema. Destacó en las corrientes del bebop el cool jazz y el bossa nova. A Stan Getz se le sigue llamando “el Sonido” y es que lo que sale de su saxofón es pura ambrosía musical João Gilberto Prado Pereira de Oliveira, conocido como João Gilberto (Juazeiro, 10 de junio de 1931-Río de Janeiro, 6 de julio de 2019),​ fue un cantante, compositor y guitarrista brasileño, considerado junto a Antônio Carlos Jobim y Vinícius de Moraes como uno de los creadores de la bossa nova a fines de los años 1950. En el mundo era frecuentemente llamado "padre del bossa nova" y en su país de origen, Brasil, era referido como "O Mito" (El Mito) o (La Leyenda). Gilberto debutó en 1959 con Chega de Saudade, un disco precioso y redondo que se considera la primera piedra de la bossa nova, una música que es parte de la herencia cultural de Brasil. El cantante inventó una forma de tocar que cambió el rumbo de la música de su país. Astrud Evangelina Weinert (Salvador, Bahía, Brasil, 29 de marzo de 1940-Filadelfia, Pensilvania, Estados Unidos, 5 de junio de 2023),1​ conocida como Astrud Gilberto, fue una cantante de bossa nova, samba, jazz y pintora brasileña. Su vinculación con el mundo de la música comenzó cuando se casó en 1959 con uno de los primeros guitarristas de bossa nova, João Gilberto. En 1963 estaba acompañando a su esposo en Nueva York mientras grababa con el pianista y compositor Antonio Carlos Jobim y con el saxofonista estadounidense Stan Getz un disco de fusión entre el jazz y la bossa nova. A instancias de su esposo (y no de Getz según otras versiones), cantó unas estrofas y gustó tanto su voz que, a pesar de no tener experiencia previa, grabó el disco Getz/Gilberto, aunque no figuró en los créditos del disco en la primera edición. Astrud Gilberto, la voz en el disco que perdura especialmente es la de la joven y por aquél entonces mujer de João, Astrud Gilberto. Curiosamente, la estrella del exitoso single "The Girl from Ipanema" realizó su primera grabación de estudio en este disco, poniendo voz también en el genial "Corcovado".

Grabado en 1963 y lanzado en marzo de 1964 bajo el sello Verve Records, fue producido por Creed Taylor, quien ya había grabado con el saxofonista sus trabajos previos en el género, siendo Jazz Samba de 1962 el más destacado.

Un logrado intento para, desde la percepción de su memoria personal y colectiva de todos estos años, conseguir desarrollar de manera brillante durante algo más de cuarenta minutos, una propuesta musical coherente con su trayectoria, y llena de momentos brillantes. El quinteto suena redondo a lo largo de los ocho temas del disco, y consigue momentos de gran belleza, como ese dialogo entre saxo y piano que protagonizan Nacho y Angel Andrés en «Dragones Graciosillos«, y el extraordinario solo de Antonio Montiel en la Kanjira; destacar el excelente solo de Nacho al saxo tenor en «Sutilmente Severo», el tema que cierra el disco, el dialogo de Ángel Andrés y Antonio Montiel en «Ciudadano del mundo«, y el recuerdo a la música de los grandes Boopers con los acordes de «Peligrosamente absurdo«, con Nacho Botonero soleando con maestría al saxo tenor. Nacho Botonero, ya lo sabemos quienes seguimos su trayectoria, forma parte de esta excelente hornada de músicos de jazz contemporáneos que vienen desarrollando su trabajo en Andalucía; y lo mismo podemos decir del quinteto que le acompaña en este disco, músicos ya experimentados en decenas de proyectos con: Ángel Andrés Muñoz, uno de esos pianistas imprescindibles en cualquier contexto jazzístico; Nacho Megina, un consagrado baterista y protagonista de algunos de los mejores episodios jazzísticos en Andalucía; por su parte, el percusionista, Antonio Montiel y el contrabajista, Luis Salto, cubren con soltura e imaginación el soporte armónico del grupo, y Nacho Botonero, está brillante, su sonido es fresco, su fraseo, tanto en los saxos como en la flauta, son muy expresivos y nos brinda momentos extraordinariamente brillantes. Con “Descalzos por el barro«, Juan Ignacio Botonero y su quinteto, nos transmite su pasión por el jazz, franqueza en su discurso musical, y continúa con su firme apuesta por explorar caminos inéditos en el jazz contemporáneo huyendo de los standards como socorrida zona de confort. En este sentido, hay que señalar que las ocho composiciones son propias de Nacho Botonero, demostrando que al mismo tiempo que es un brillante instrumentista, tiene también enormes cualidades para la composición.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Peter Cincotti, Renowned Pianist, Singer/Songwriter & Recording Artist About Harvey's guests: Today's guest, Peter Cincotti, is a renowned pianist, singer-songwriter and concert and recording artist who burst on the music scene at the age of 18, when he became the youngest artist ever to reach #1 on the Billboard Jazz Charts, with the 2003 release of his self-titled debut album.   Since then, he's been dazzling audiences around the world with his ingenious musical arrangements and unique fusion of jazz, pop, rock, funk and blues, performing sold-out concerts at some of the most prestigious venues from Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Radio City Music Hall to L'Olympia in Paris, Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, and the Montreux Jazz Festival, where he won an award for his rendition of Dizzy Gillespie's “A Night in Tunisia”.    He's released 6 highly acclaimed albums, produced by legends like Phil Ramone and David Foster.  He's collaborated with many iconic music stars including Ray Charles, Andrea Bocelli, Sting, Annie Lennox, David Guetta and Seal.  He appeared in the blockbuster films “Spiderman 2” and “Beyond the Sea”.  And yes, that was him in Season 3, episode 3 of the hit Netflix series “House of Cards”, appearing as himself, singing a duet with the President.    His latest album 'Killer On The Keys' is an homage to some of the most influential piano icons of all time, and blends influences ranging from Nat King Cole, Billy Joel, and Lady Gaga, to John Lennon and Coldplay.   And last December, his new original Christmas song 'Because It's Christmas' reached #25 on the US Top 40 Mainstream Billboard Chart, #12 on the Holiday Top 15 Chart, and #3 on the Independent Artists Chart.   The critics are unanimous in their praise for this man's remarkable artistry and musicianship.  The New York Post said he's “incredible”.  The Daily News said he's “sensational”.  Newsweek Magazine called him “phenomenal”.  And the usually restrained New York Times music critic said he's “well on his way to becoming a legend”.    And if ALL OF THAT weren't enough, he's also an icon in the world of international men's fashion, representing the luxury brands Zegna and Tod's.   For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ To see more about Peter Cincotti, go to:https://www.petercincotti.com/ https://www.facebook.com/petercincottihttps://www.instagram.com/petercincottihttps://twitter.com/petercincottihttps://www.tiktok.com/@petercincottihttp://www.youtube.com/petercincotti #petercincotti   #harveybrownstoneinterviews

This week we look at The Stranger, Billy Joel's 1978 tour de force. Teaming up with producer Phil Ramone for his fifth LP The Stranger,  Billy Joel finally found the critical and commercial success that had eluded him previously.  Recorded with his own band, the album represents Joel at the pinnacle of his art. Containing such Joel standard's as "Just the Way You Are", "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)", "Only the Good Die Young", and "She's Always a Woman"; as well as fan favorites "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" and "Vienna,” The Stranger  would eventually sell over 10 million copies on it's way to become Columbia's bestselling release of all time.

MUSIC & ART COLLIDE   Frankie Vinci's Rock 'n' Roll journey has led him to create the Pop Art he's so passionate about today. These raw-colorful Pop Art / Mixed Media pieces are reflective of his years as a troubadour and his Rock 'n' Roll experiences performing in the iconic clubs and concert halls from NYC to LA , all of this has become part of his tapestry as a Pop Artist.  Frankie is a Multi-Platinum songwriter / recording artist and has shared the stage and or worked in the recording studio alongside iconic names such as : Aerosmith, Van Halen, Alice Cooper, Meat Loaf, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tim McGraw, Roberta Flack, Dino Danelli & Gene Cornish (Rascals), Wally Bryson (Raspberries), Ricky Byrd (Joan Jett, Roger Daltrey), Robert Lamm (Chicago), Phil Ramone, Eddie Kramer, etc...  Frankie's also had a successful career as a composer / producer in NYC advertising. He composed / produced national jingles for some of the biggest brand names internationally. A pinnacle of his career was composing The Super Bowl Theme for CBS that also aired on the "NFL Game of the week" for 10 years. Frankie's Pop Art is inspired by music, fashion, film and the vintage billboards that have been distressed by weather and time.

On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Plouffe, listen to Jamie's next pick, Billy Joel's The Stranger. Released in 1977, The Stranger was a Hail Mary from Billy Joel to save his recording contract with Columbia. After his inexplicable rise to fame with Piano Man in 1973, his subsequent releases were lukewarmly received by both critics and the general public. Searching for a solution, he turned to his touring band and veteran producer Phil Ramone to cut this album in little over a month in 1977. The result was his breakthrough, with four singles charting, and it garnered two Grammy awards. Retrospective reviews have called it Billy Joel's best work, including Rolling Stone, which named it variously the 67th, 70th and 169th of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. But where will this album be placed on Vinyl Verdict's list? Come along and find out!

The Stranger es uno de esos escasos discos casi perfectos donde todo está en su sitio, donde todo encaja y donde las cosas tienen sentido. The Stranger es una colección de canciones perfecta para convertirse en una banda sonora.El quinto trabajo de Billy Joel, el Piano Man, como se le conocía, llegó cuando el músico estaba al borde del abismo. Joel había tenido algunos éxitos importantes tras años dando tumbos, pero Columbia se estaba planteando rescindir su contrato al no alcanzar sus anteriores discos las cifras que esperaban desde la discográfica.Con toda esa presión Joel subió la apuesta. Decidió formar una banda estable tras años trabajando con músicos de sesión diferentes. Justo esa banda fue la que le separó de George Martin, el productor de los Beatles, que no quiso trabajar con la nueva banda de Joel. Finalmente el pianista siguió sus instintos, confió el Phil Ramone y grabó el disco que cambió su carrera.The Stranger es un disco tierno, al estilo Broadway, con arreglos elegantes y letras sugerentes en las que brillan las baladas. La formula cuajó y el quinto álbum de estudio de Billy Joel se convirtió en el álbum más vendido de Columbia en la década consolidando a Joel como una superestrella.Esta semana recordamos este clásico del pop de la mano del periodista Fernando Navarro y con los reportajes de Lucía Taboada.

Mindy Fradkin started performing at 8 years when she booked herself at my own birthday party. It was a Beatles Party, in 1964 when The Beatles came to America. More about this in my one-woman show, "Ageless Wonders: A grown up guide to growing newer!" When the pandemic started and we went into lockdown in New York, a friend of Mindy's asked if she could do an uplifting Facebook Live, and Mindy immediately started doing a show in my apartment to help people smile (as well as herself!). 119 shows later until we could go out, she did baking shows, dance parties, interviews with musicians/authors, In my closet shows, and read uplifting quotes, and created fun with her toys/dolls, told stories about her unusual life. She then took her show to Woodstock on Sundays, and currently interviewing artists/musicians/actors and more on Thursdays at 8 PM ET. Stay tuned!     Her albums have charted on Billboard and at AAA and College radio, and have been favorably reviewed in such publications as The Wall Street Journal, The Village Voice, The Washington Post and TimeOut NY. Billboard.com called her "the stitch between the great rock and pop traditions of the past and what those traditions have wrought in the hypermodern world of the present", and legendary producer Phil Ramone said "she very much reminded me of Dylan in the way she approaches her work." A John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize Winner (Rock), Rachael has received several Independent Music Awards and OUTMusic awards.

Bryon Sommers, pianist, singer, musical director, composer has been part of the NYC nightlife scene since arriving with his first job working for the late great Burt Bacharach. 

BLAKE MORGAN is an American musician, singer, music producer, record label owner, and activist based in New York City. After releasing the alternative rock solo album Anger's Candy (1997) on Phil Ramone's N2K Sony/Red label,he began producing music independently and founded the label Engine Company Records in 2002, which in 2012 became ECR Music Group.Morgan was born and raised in Manhattan. He began playing the piano and going to music school at age five, with the aim of becoming a professional pianist. At age six his interest began to switch from classical composers to The Beatles, after his mother introduced him to Meet The Beatles. In first grade he began attending the United Nations International School in New York City. He stayed there for 12 years, and graduated with an International Baccalaureate. He concurrently continued his piano studies at Greenwich House Music School in Manhattan. Morgan's first gig was at CBGB's in New York, when older students from his school recruited him to play keyboards in their band. Since he was legally too young for the venue, they used his then short stature to smuggle him inside the club in a bass drum case. As the show began, Morgan came out of the case to jump on stage and play the synths. Morgan's political activism on behalf of artists began in May 2013, when a pointed email exchange between him and the founder of Pandora, Tim Westergren, regarding lowered royalties, was published in the Huffington Post. The article was met with much enthusiasm in the artist community, and Pandora lost $130 million in the stock market the following morning.Thanks for listening!!!

Drawing on the concepts presented in Matt's book, Hooks: Lessons on Performance, Business, and Life from a Working Musician, Kat Edmonson joins Matt to discusschoosing the right environment to spark and capture inspiration,coping with criticism and expectations in high-exposure performance opportunities,gaining strength through improvement, perseverance, and creativity,realizing one's authentic aspirations and pursuing a new path, andfinding meaning and balance that transcends the public persona.  Kat Edmonson is an award-winning songwriter and singer "with an equal foothold in jazz, cabaret, and vintage cosmopolitanism pop" (The New York Times). She has been featured on Austin City Limits, Tiny Desk Concerts, A Prairie Home Companion, and The Late Show.The New York Times describes her music as "fresh as a spring bouquet," while NPR says, "Hearing Edmonson makes it virtually impossible to do anything but stop and listen."Kat holds a deep and longstanding commitment to creating the highest quality recordings possible, working with multi-GRAMMY®-award-winning producers and audio engineer legends Frank Filipetti, Fernando Lodeiro, Ed Cherney, Phil Ramone, and the recording giant Al Schmitt (24-time-GRAMMY®-award-winner) who said of Kat, "She is a tremendous talent … with a style and charm that reaches fans in the worlds of blues, rock, pop, and beyond."In 2013, The Songwriters Hall of Fame awarded Kat the Abe Olman Scholarship Award for Excellence in Songwriting. "Intuitive about melody and handy with a turn of phrase (The New York Times), the songsmith has been writing since she was a little girl, having published over 40 songs. JAZZIZ magazine says, "…her lasting contribution might very well be her songs." NPR says, "She's a savvy student of '60s film soundtracks, jazz-pop stylists, and Brill Building songcraft, nodding to her influences at every turn. But her take on those stylized musical languages is so fresh and fluent that the referencing never feels cumbersome." Her original song "Lucky" was featured in the Coca-Cola "Footprints" ad from the 2014 Winter Olympics.The Texas native began crafting her signature sound while performing in Austin's local club circuit for years before releasing her debut LP, Take To The Sky, in 2009.

Warwick's career, which currently celebrates over 50 years, has established her as an international music icon and concert act. Over that time, she has earned 75 charted hit songs and sold over 100 million records.Marie Dionne Warwick, an American singer, actress, and television show host who became a United Nations Global Ambassador for the Food and Agriculture Organization and a United States Ambassador of Health.She began singing professionally in 1961 after being discovered by a young songwriting team, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She had her first hit in 1962 with “Don't Make Me Over.” Less than a decade later, she had released more than 18 consecutive Top 100 singles, including her classic Bacharach/David recordings, “Walk on By,” “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” “Message to Michael,” "Promises Promises,” “A House is Not a Home,” “Alfie,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “This Girl's in Love With You,” “I'll Never Fall in Love Again,” “Reach Out For Me,” and the theme from “Valley of the Dolls. ”Together, Warwick and her songwriting team of Burt Bacharach & Hal David, accumulated more than 30 hit singles, and close to 20 best-selling albums, during their first decade together.Warwick received her first GRAMMY® Award in 1968 for her mega-hit, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” and a second GRAMMY® in 1970 for the best-selling album, “I'll Never Fall in Love Again.” She became the first African-American solo female artist of her generation to win the prestigious award for Best Contemporary Female Vocalist Performance. This award was only presented to one other legend, Miss Ella Fitzgerald.Other African-American female recording artists certainly earned their share of crossover pop and R&B hits during the 1960′s, however, Warwick preceded the mainstream success of her musical peers by becoming the first such artist to rack up a dozen consecutive Top 100 hit singles from 1963-1966.Warwick's performance at the Olympia Theater in Paris, during a 1963 concert starring the legendary Marlene Dietrich, skyrocketed her to international stardom. As Warwick established herself as a major force in American contemporary music, she gained popularity among European audiences as well. In 1968, she became the first solo African-American artist among her peers to sing before the Queen of England at a Royal Command Performance. Since then, Warwick has performed before numerous kings, queens, presidents and heads of state.Warwick's recordings of songs such as “A House is not a Home,” “Alfie,” ”Valley of the Dolls,” and “The April Fools,” made her a pioneer as one of the first female artists to popularize classic movie themes.Warwick began singing during her childhood years in East Orange, New Jersey, initially in church. Occasionally, she sang as a soloist and fill-in voice for the renowned Drinkard Singers, a group comprised of her mother Lee, along with her aunts, including Aunt Cissy, Whitney Houston's mom, and her uncles. During her teens, Warwick and her sister Dee Dee started their own gospel group, The Gospelaires.Warwick attended The Hartt College of Music in Hartford, Connecticut, and during that time, began making trips to New York to do regular session work. She sang behind many of the biggest recording stars of the 1960′s including Dinah Washington, Sam Taylor, Brook Benton, Chuck Jackson, and Solomon Burke, among many others. It was at this time that a young composer named Burt Bacharach heard her sing during a session for The Drifters and asked her to sing on demos of some new songs he was writing with his new lyricist Hal David. In 1962, one such demo was presented to Scepter Records, which launched a hit-filled 12 -year association with the label.Known as the artist who “bridged the gap,” Warwick's soulful blend of pop, gospel and R&B music transcended race, culture, and musical boundaries. In 1970, Warwick received her second GRAMMY® Award for the best-selling album, “I'll Never Fall In Love Again,” and began her second decade of hits with Warner Bros. Records. She recorded half a dozen albums, with top producers such as Thom Bell, Holland-Dozier-Holland, Jerry Ragavoy, Steve Barri, and Michael Omartian. In 1974, she hit the top of the charts with “Then Came You,” a million-selling duet with The Spinners. She then teamed up with Isaac Hayes for a highly successful world tour, “A Man and a Woman.”In 1976, Warwick signed with Arista Records, beginning a third decade of hit-making. Arista Records label-mate Barry Manilow produced her first Platinum-selling album, “Dionne,” which included back-to-back hits “I'll Never Love This Way Again,” and “Déjà vu.” Both recordings earned GRAMMY® Awards, making Warwick the first female artist to win the Best Female Pop and Best Female R&B Performance Awards.Warwick's 1982 album, “Heartbreaker,” co-produced by Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees, became an international chart-topper. In 1985, she reunited with composer Burt Bacharach and longtime friends Gladys Knight, Elton John and Stevie Wonder to record the landmark song “That's What Friends Are For,” which became a number one hit record around the world and the first recording dedicated to raising awareness and major funds (over $3 Million) for the AIDS cause in support of AMFAR, which Warwick continues to support.Throughout the 1980′s and 1990′s, Warwick collaborated with many of her musical peers, including Johnny Mathis, Smokey Robinson, Luther Vandross, Jeffrey Osborne, Kashif and Stevie Wonder. Warwick was also host of the hit television music show, “Solid Gold.” In addition, she recorded several theme songs, including “Champagne Wishes & Caviar Dreams,” for the popular television series “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous,” and “The Love Boat,” for the hit series from Aaron Spelling. In November, 2006 Warwick recorded an album of duets, “My Friends & Me,” for Concord Records, a critically acclaimed Gospel album, “Why We Sing,” for Rhino/Warner Records, and a new jazz album, ”Only Trust Your Heart,” a collection of standards, celebrating the music of legendary composer Sammy Cahn for Sony Red/MPCA Records. Additionally, in September 2008, Warwick added “author” to her list of credits with two best-selling children's books, “Say A Little Prayer,” and “Little Man,” and her first best-selling autobiography, “My Life As I See It” for Simon & Schuster.Always one to give back, Warwick has supported and campaigned for many causes and charities close to her heart, including AIDS, The Starlight Foundation, children's hospitals, world hunger, disaster relief and music education for which she has been recognized and honored and has raised millions of dollars. In 1987, she was appointed the first United States Ambassador of Health by President Ronald Reagan and in 2002, served as Global Ambassador for Health and Ambassador for the United Nations' Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO), and she continues to serve as Ambassador today. In recognition of her accomplishments and support of education, a New Jersey school was named in her honor, the Dionne Warwick Institute for Economics and Entrepreneurship. Warwick was also a key participating artist in the all-star charity single, “We Are the World,” and in 1984, performed at “Live Aid.”Celebrating 50 years in entertainment, and the 25th Anniversary of “That's What Friends Are For,” Warwick hosted and headlined an all-star benefit concert for World Hunger Day in London. In addition, she was honored by AMFAR in a special reunion performance of “That's What Friends are For,” alongside Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder at AMFAR's Anniversary Gala in New York City. Warwick also received the prestigious 2011 Steve Chase Humanitarian Arts & Activism Award by the Desert Aids Project and was recognized for her stellar career by Clive Davis at his legendary Pre-GRAMMY® Party in Los Angeles.

Turnstiles is almost an overlooked gem in Billy Joel's catalog. Released in 1976, the album featured many of the musicians that would go on to define his sound over the next decade of records And, many of the songs became concert classics and fan favorites in the years to come.    At the time, however, it was a commercial flop that was eclipsed by the release of The Stranger in 1977. It wasn't until nearly half the songs were recast on the live Songs in the Attic album in 1981 that many of these tracks gained more recognition with mainstream audiences.    A listen to Turnstiles now reveals some of BIlly's most intimate lyrics, memorable melodies, a kaleidoscope of styles, and the energy of a bunch of Long Island musicians hungry for success.   It's for these reasons that the album itself has become a fan favorite. It's here that BIlly first fused his knack for melody and singer-songwriter approach with the grit of an East Coast rock band.    His future collaborations with producer Phil Ramone may have helped that mixture find its full potential on subsequent releases. But, there's still a good amount of charm, spirit, and great songs on this record.  Join us as we dig deep into BIlly Joel's Turnstiles.     ------   Email us: glasshousespodcast@gmail.com   Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: http://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glasshousespod  Discord: https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T   Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor   Produced by Michael Grosvenor & Jack Firneno for Groove Music Marketing  

Our first song in the "U's" is a little known song off of 52nd Street entitled, Until the Night. It's a whopping Six Minutes and 35 seconds that is a pretty good song BUT probably could have been cut down to 3:05.

The Nylon Curtain turned 40 last September, and we can't help but take one last look at it as we start the new year.      Back in September, we did our album spotlight where we discussed the history and making of the album along with our track-by-track commentary. This time, we're speaking with two people who helped make the album into the classic we all know today.      Our guests for this episode are Larry Franke and Bradsahw Leigh. Both were engineers at A&R Recording where Billy worked with Phil Ramone to produce his string of hit albums from the late 70s through the mid-80s.      Larry and Brad were involved with many of those records. And, for this episode, they're taking us through what it was like creating Billy Joel's most sonically ambitious album.      You'll hear about the studio tricks they used for sound effects, how they used analog effects well before today's digital plugins, and how the band and studio crew went about fulfilling Billy's goal of making an album inspired by the Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's.      With track-by-track commentary, stories from the sessions, and deep dives into the recording technology of the day, it's the closest you can get to being a fly on the wall of the live room and mixing booth back in 1982.     Join us for another look behind The Nylon Curtain.   ------   Email us: glasshousespodcast@gmail.com   Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: http://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glasshousespod  Discord: https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T   Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor   Produced by Michael Grosvenor & Jack Firneno for Groove Music Marketing    

Sometimes the best part of a big meal is the leftovers. There's nothing like taking a little bit of everything from the night before, heating it up, and settling in for a second round. And, for the second year in a row, just in time for the holidays, that's what we're doing here at Glass Houses.      This is our second Odds and Ends episode, where we take pieces of conversations from the year that got left on the cutting room floor. We hear so many great stories from the people we interview that we can't fit them all into each episode.      This year, we've got two dishes of second helpings. The first is from our interview with Steve Cohen, Billy's longtime lighting director, and Jon Small, who's been involved with Billy since the late 60s. They'll share stories of how they began working with Billy, including some never-before-heard stories from their youth.      Next is a sneak peek of our upcoming episode about The Nylon Curtain. Here, engineer Bradshaw Leigh talks about reconstructing the album for an ATMOS enhanced audio mix this year. He also gives a few behind-the-scenes stories from his time at A&R Recording with Billy and Phil Ramone. And, you'll hear his thoughts on the music business back then and what it's like now.      So throw on your sweatpants, uncork that half-empty bottle of wine, and settle in for a helping of odds and ends from some of our favorite interviews of 2022.      ------   Email us: glasshousespodcast@gmail.com   Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: http://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glasshousespod  Discord: https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T   Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor   Produced by Michael Grosvenor & Jack Firneno for Groove Music Marketing    

Con 14 premios Grammy, innovaciones tecnológicas y cientos de grabaciones de primer nivel a sus espaldas, Ramone se transformó en un cómplice de momentos inolvidables de la música popular.

Paul Simon, Phil Ramone, Dr. Steve Gadd, and me.

There are more than just musicians behind a great-sounding album. No matter how well they play, or how good the songs are, it doesn't mean much if the recording doesn't capture them the right way.      And, when it came to many of Billy Joel's most iconic albums, the person responsible for shaping much of their sound was Jim.       Billy Joel, along with the Lords of 52nd Street and others put some great performances down on tape working with producer Phil Ramone and his crew. And, a crucial member of that team was Jim Boyer.     As an engineer, Jim was responsible for capturing the performances, which were often played by the full band live in the studio. Then, as mixer, he blended all those elements into the great-sounding records we all know today.      After years in the studio with Billy, Paul Simon, and many others, Jim moved into a different part of the music business when he co-founded Double Helix, a CD pressing plant. Then, he returned to mixing – first by doing sound at live music events, and then back to studio recordings.      Jim passed away on June 15, 2022, at the age of 71. But, along with the legacy he left on countless hit records, his legend lives on through the stories his friends remember and the impact he had on their lives.      For this episode, we spoke with Larry Franke and Bradshaw Leigh, two members of Phil Ramone's production team that worked on several Billy Joel albums, as well as working with many other artists.      They'll share their memories of Jim as a friend, his work in the studio, his impact on the music industry, and what it was like recording dozens of records in the 1970s and 80s.     Join us as we dig deep into the life and work of Jim Boyer.      ------   Email us: glasshousespodcast@gmail.com   Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: http://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glasshousespod  Discord: https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T   Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor   Produced by Michael Grosvenor & Jack Firneno for Groove Music Marketing    

Billy Joel, Phil Ramone, and me.

Did you know there's a connection between Billy Joel and one of the most popular cartoons of the 1980s?      We didn't know either until a few weeks ago.      Recently, Michael and I interviewed Larry Franke, who was second engineer on Songs in the Attic and the Nylon Curtain. During the conversation, Larry mentioned that, after working with Billy and Phil Ramone, he worked on the cartoon Thundercats, which ran in syndication from 1985 to 1989.      During the show's run, that cartoon was about as big a deal to me as Billy Joel - maybe even more (Hey, I was in elementary school).      And, hearing that Larry was an integral part of one of my favorite childhood shows meant I couldn't pass up the opportunity to hear more about it.    We'll hear Larry's memories of working with Billy in a few weeks. For my playlist episode this year, however, I'm doing something a little different.      Instead of playing songs I worked on or by artists I really enjoy, I spoke with Larry and Anthony Gioveniello, who was on the production staff and occasionally directed episodes, about how they put together 130 episodes over four years.      If you're around my age and remember rushing home from school every afternoon to catch the latest adventures on Third Earth, you'll love this intimate look at how a piece of your childhood was made.      And, even if you're too young, or too old, or just weren't into the show, you'll still enjoy the stories, behind-the-scenes information, and the memories of how important the show was for Larry and Anthony - not only for their careers, but also for the fun they had and the close friends they made during the show's run.    ------   Email us: glasshousespodcast@gmail.com   Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: http://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glasshousespod  Discord: https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T   Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor   Produced by Michael Grosvenor & Jack Firneno for Groove Music Marketing

Raised by activist parents who were also writers—his mother is the poet Robin Morgan and his father is the poet Kenneth Pitchford--Morgan was immersed early on in the arts. By five he was at the piano playing Mozart and writing his own songs and the classical pianist path was being forged. But then he heard the Beatles and that path forked a different way. Educated at the United Nations International School in New York City and later Berkelee College of Music, Morgan graduated and hit the ground running, playing in bands and living the rock and roll lifestyle. He signed a seven-record deal with Phil Ramone's fledgling label in '96, his debut album featured Lenny Kravitz singing back up, he toured the U.S. opening for Joan Jett and received tons of attention and critical acclaim. Morgan was crushing it, but he was mistrustful of the corporate label life and he got himself out of his contract. In 2002 he decided to form Engine Company Records, which became ECR Music in 2012. ECR has an associate publishing company and the music the label has released has ranged from punk to classical and in 2005, they had five albums in the Top 20. Meanwhile, Morgan kept cranking out great critically acclaimed solo albums. From Burning Daylight to Silencer to Diamonds in the Dark to his new one Violent Delights, Morgan's music is a crunchy blend of melodic pop, introspective ballads and hook-laden numbers that are played with equal parts muscle and heart. And speaking of heart, Morgan's is with artists and his political activism is specifically on their behalf. His Pandora takedown alone cost the company's stock to fall 130 million in less than a day and signaled a major victory for musicians. He's spent hours with Congress fighting for the rights of musicians which are always being marginalized especially in the digital age. Just Google his Art and Music Are Professions Worth Fighting For essay and you'll get a sense of who this guy is. He's one of the good ones. And this is a great chat. www.ecrmusicgroup.com www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenonline.com Stereo Embers The Podcast Twitter: @emberseditor Instagram: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Warwick's career, which currently celebrates over 50 years, has established her as an international music icon and concert act. Over that time, she has earned 75 charted hit songs and sold over 100 million records.Marie Dionne Warwick, an American singer, actress, and television show host who became a United Nations Global Ambassador for the Food and Agriculture Organization and a United States Ambassador of Health.She began singing professionally in 1961 after being discovered by a young songwriting team, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She had her first hit in 1962 with “Don't Make Me Over.” Less than a decade later, she had released more than 18 consecutive Top 100 singles, including her classic Bacharach/David recordings, “Walk on By,” “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” “Message to Michael,” "Promises Promises,” “A House is Not a Home,” “Alfie,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “This Girl's in Love With You,” “I'll Never Fall in Love Again,” “Reach Out For Me,” and the theme from “Valley of the Dolls. ”Together, Warwick and her songwriting team of Burt Bacharach & Hal David, accumulated more than 30 hit singles, and close to 20 best-selling albums, during their first decade together.Warwick received her first GRAMMY® Award in 1968 for her mega-hit, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” and a second GRAMMY® in 1970 for the best-selling album, “I'll Never Fall in Love Again.” She became the first African-American solo female artist of her generation to win the prestigious award for Best Contemporary Female Vocalist Performance. This award was only presented to one other legend, Miss Ella Fitzgerald.Other African-American female recording artists certainly earned their share of crossover pop and R&B hits during the 1960′s, however, Warwick preceded the mainstream success of her musical peers by becoming the first such artist to rack up a dozen consecutive Top 100 hit singles from 1963-1966.Warwick's performance at the Olympia Theater in Paris, during a 1963 concert starring the legendary Marlene Dietrich, skyrocketed her to international stardom. As Warwick established herself as a major force in American contemporary music, she gained popularity among European audiences as well. In 1968, she became the first solo African-American artist among her peers to sing before the Queen of England at a Royal Command Performance. Since then, Warwick has performed before numerous kings, queens, presidents and heads of state.Warwick's recordings of songs such as “A House is not a Home,” “Alfie,” ”Valley of the Dolls,” and “The April Fools,” made her a pioneer as one of the first female artists to popularize classic movie themes.Warwick began singing during her childhood years in East Orange, New Jersey, initially in church. Occasionally, she sang as a soloist and fill-in voice for the renowned Drinkard Singers, a group comprised of her mother Lee, along with her aunts, including Aunt Cissy, Whitney Houston's mom, and her uncles. During her teens, Warwick and her sister Dee Dee started their own gospel group, The Gospelaires.Warwick attended The Hartt College of Music in Hartford, Connecticut, and during that time, began making trips to New York to do regular session work. She sang behind many of the biggest recording stars of the 1960′s including Dinah Washington, Sam Taylor, Brook Benton, Chuck Jackson, and Solomon Burke, among many others. It was at this time that a young composer named Burt Bacharach heard her sing during a session for The Drifters and asked her to sing on demos of some new songs he was writing with his new lyricist Hal David. In 1962, one such demo was presented to Scepter Records, which launched a hit-filled 12 -year association with the label.Known as the artist who “bridged the gap,” Warwick's soulful blend of pop, gospel and R&B music transcended race, culture, and musical boundaries. In 1970, Warwick received her second GRAMMY® Award for the best-selling album, “I'll Never Fall In Love Again,” and began her second decade of hits with Warner Bros. Records. She recorded half a dozen albums, with top producers such as Thom Bell, Holland-Dozier-Holland, Jerry Ragavoy, Steve Barri, and Michael Omartian. In 1974, she hit the top of the charts with “Then Came You,” a million-selling duet with The Spinners. She then teamed up with Isaac Hayes for a highly successful world tour, “A Man and a Woman.”In 1976, Warwick signed with Arista Records, beginning a third decade of hit-making. Arista Records label-mate Barry Manilow produced her first Platinum-selling album, “Dionne,” which included back-to-back hits “I'll Never Love This Way Again,” and “Déjà vu.” Both recordings earned GRAMMY® Awards, making Warwick the first female artist to win the Best Female Pop and Best Female R&B Performance Awards.Warwick's 1982 album, “Heartbreaker,” co-produced by Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees, became an international chart-topper. In 1985, she reunited with composer Burt Bacharach and longtime friends Gladys Knight, Elton John and Stevie Wonder to record the landmark song “That's What Friends Are For,” which became a number one hit record around the world and the first recording dedicated to raising awareness and major funds (over $3 Million) for the AIDS cause in support of AMFAR, which Warwick continues to support.Throughout the 1980′s and 1990′s, Warwick collaborated with many of her musical peers, including Johnny Mathis, Smokey Robinson, Luther Vandross, Jeffrey Osborne, Kashif and Stevie Wonder. Warwick was also host of the hit television music show, “Solid Gold.” In addition, she recorded several theme songs, including “Champagne Wishes & Caviar Dreams,” for the popular television series “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous,” and “The Love Boat,” for the hit series from Aaron Spelling. In November, 2006 Warwick recorded an album of duets, “My Friends & Me,” for Concord Records, a critically acclaimed Gospel album, “Why We Sing,” for Rhino/Warner Records, and a new jazz album, ”Only Trust Your Heart,” a collection of standards, celebrating the music of legendary composer Sammy Cahn for Sony Red/MPCA Records. Additionally, in September 2008, Warwick added “author” to her list of credits with two best-selling children's books, “Say A Little Prayer,” and “Little Man,” and her first best-selling autobiography, “My Life As I See It” for Simon & Schuster.Always one to give back, Warwick has supported and campaigned for many causes and charities close to her heart, including AIDS, The Starlight Foundation, children's hospitals, world hunger, disaster relief and music education for which she has been recognized and honored and has raised millions of dollars. In 1987, she was appointed the first United States Ambassador of Health by President Ronald Reagan and in 2002, served as Global Ambassador for Health and Ambassador for the United Nations' Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO), and she continues to serve as Ambassador today. In recognition of her accomplishments and support of education, a New Jersey school was named in her honor, the Dionne Warwick Institute for Economics and Entrepreneurship. Warwick was also a key participating artist in the all-star charity single, “We Are the World,” and in 1984, performed at “Live Aid.”Celebrating 50 years in entertainment, and the 25th Anniversary of “That's What Friends Are For,” Warwick hosted and headlined an all-star benefit concert for World Hunger Day in London. In addition, she was honored by AMFAR in a special reunion performance of “That's What Friends are For,” alongside Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder at AMFAR's Anniversary Gala in New York City.

As a lifelong Frank Sinatra fan, today I'm excited to be speaking with Charles Granata. Chuck is the producer and co-host of Nancy Sinatra's weekly radio show on SiriusXM, “Nancy for Frank,” which recently concluded after 14 years and over 500 episodes. “The Best of Nancy for Frank” continues to air every week. He has worked on several Frank Sinatra box sets, including “A Voice on Air: 1935–1955” and “Sinatra in Hollywood: 1940–1964.” Most recently he oversaw the restoration and reissue of the 1950 LP “Sing and Dance with Frank Sinatra” (Impex Records, 2020). Chuck is the author of two acclaimed books, “Sessions with Sinatra: Frank Sinatra and the Art of Recording” and “Wouldn't It Be Nice: Brian Wilson and the Making of the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds.” And he assisted music legends Phil Ramone and Johnny Mandel in writing their memoirs. I loved hearing how Chuck's childhood passion eventually became a fulfilling career, thanks to many serendipitous connections along the way. Near the end of our conversation, he also shares his personal thoughts on spirituality, which I found very moving.
