This Approach Allowed Them to Auspiciously Produce Artists Across Multiple Genres, without Dogging the Groove. Ahmet Ertegun, Stewart Levine, Nile Rodgers, Arif Mardin and the legendary Norman Whitfield all are/were Patriarchs rather than Dictators. The Best Producers, In My Opinion, are those who as Quincy Jones once stated, "Always leave space for God to walk through the room." There are far too many tunes (again, in my opinion) that bear the Fingerprint of the Producer, while Ignoring the Original Intent of the Composer and the Purity of the Artist - unless, of course, they are one and the same. The Song Always Alerts Us as to What Does & Does Not Work. I'm In the Room Foremost as an Eyewitness and Secondly to Facilitate the Best Possible Outcome of Their Expressions. Their Voice, Their Heart, Their Imagination. It's Their Interpretation I'm Most Interested in Capturing. In Every Session I Produce, I Invite Each Musician & Vocalist to Perform their Own Narrative for Takes at a Time, without providing a single instruction. There's an Art to Waiting for the Score to Let You In on its Desires and sometimes it could make you wait for months. In Many Ways I'm Only an Observer in others, a Mere Participant - Never Demanding or Micromanaging the Moment.
The Most Important Lesson I've Learned as a Composer/Producer/Musician is to Shut Up and Get Out of The Way. Beats & Notes Fall from the Sky while sitting at My Keyboard, Bass or Drum Kit and Sometimes while racing around 680 South enroute to the bakery, forcing me to hum & grunt into my phone to preserve the concept. I'm of the Philosophy that in Every Composition, the Piece Itself Dictates what It Needs. Music & Lyrics Guide Us through their Verses, Chorus and Bridge to its Conclusion. In My Worldview, I Truly Believe That God Downloads SongsRight Into Our Spirits, Complete with Melody, Harmonies, Rhythm, Time Signature and Counterpoint and we have the Privilege of Labeling this Process Songwriting.
