Welcome to my jazz piano and personal website folks. June 3, 2009 Los Angeles CA: I'm really happy to see that my fans have supported the Jazz Straight Ahead album to the extent of it being listed in the company of John Coltrane and Keith Jarrett at Amazon. Thank you all so much for this great honor. I will continue on my path to achieve the highest musical excellence possible. I'm performing weekly on Wednesday nights at the Sandbox Sports Grill in Huntington Beach featuring different guest artists every week. Formerly Kikuya, the Sandbox is a cool spot. Beach and Adams in HB. MYSPACE RADIO NOW UP AND RUNNING Probably the biggest news this year for my music online is that my MYSPACE store has finally opened featuring seven of my albums which you can hear full tracks of. While much of the world has moved to Facebook for social interaction, I have to hand it to MYSPACE for making a very elegant store for me which allows listeners to hear a lot of music and decide if they would like to purchase it from Amazon or not. Listeners can make their own playlists, turn their friends on to my music, and you don't have to be a myspace member to hear the music. Go there and check it out! One recent iTunes buyer sent me an email saying "you sound like so many different sounds, so many different pianos and song types, it is hard for me to sort it all out." Ok, let me respond to you. First off, I started writing music in the 70's, I started recording it in the 80's and now with 18 albums done in 2009 think of how many different pianos, recording studios, and growth periods I have gone through over that time. Makes sense that the music would change. I was never an artist that made music for the labels according to their taste and what they wanted me to do. I have always recorded what was most relevant to me at that particular moment that mood, that song, that person in my life, that place where I was at that time. Probably the best advice I can give any listener to my music is to actually take the time to listen to more than one cut on any one album instead of hopping around clicking different singles on iTunes. All of my albums were and are concept albums with a particular mood and theme to each, and the songs from each album are grouped according to that genre I was exploring at that time and what was going on in my life. It took me 30 years to make and record this much music, do me the favor of investing 10 minutes or more checking out the catalog and you will be a happy listener and very happy with your Rob Mullins iTunes purchases. Another thing going on recently has been the explosion of facebook-now at over 150 million users. I was laughing when I actually logged on there instead of having my assistant do it to find there was already a fan page for me over there. One person at Facebook asked me if I was playing with some musicians I used to know and advised me I should do more over at Facebook. So, let me say that I'd be happy to do that if time will start growing on trees. Hope that will happen sometime soon as there are 19 hours of music to teach this week, 20 hours in the studio, bills to pay, emails to answer and curriculum to write. Ah yes, and then there's myspace. Really, are there any people out there working and doing? Who has time for all of everything? JAZZ STRAIGHT AHEAD!!! Both albums I released in 2008 are going strong and feature music that I have developed over the past few years taking jazz in different directions as a genre. You can check them out by clicking on the links at the top of the page. Now in 2009, the Jazz Studies Program I teach has some exciting new curriculum including new play along material available exclusively to my students, and they are having a lot of fun. I am constantly updating the program to move students on faster and with more complete tools for fun and their own pleasure. You can visit the lesson website here or call for info at 310-572-7245. There are several new videos up on Youtube. Thanks for your support of my book "Jazz Piano Voicings" which continues to rank highly on the Amazon bestseller list for jazz books. RADIO PLAY: Thank you so much to KJAZZ 88.1 and KSDS for putting my new music on the radio. Support jazz radio and keep musicians making music! Rob Mullins Bio: At this point there are a LOT of Rob bios out there, the EPK Bio, the music teacher bio, the AllMusicGuide Bio, the AllaboutJazz bio. Take your pic. If you can't find what you need, shoot me an email. EDU NEWS It was cool yesterday when one of my students came in and thanked me for the advice I had given him the prior week about his hearing problems. He was having a lot of issues with ringing in his ears and had been to several specialists. He told me my advice was the best of all the information he was given. Trust me, when you make a living using your ears, you learn something about hearing. Fatigue is the biggest factor when it comes to your ears. Amazing things happen when you start thinking about your ears as being as important as any other part of you. PIERRE'S FINE PIANOS Congrats to my buddy Pierre Julia for landing a ROLAND products distribution deal. Both of us are pretty high on ROLAND Products. Pierre will now be selling the ROLAND line at his shop and it is going to be fun to try out all the new gear that I not played because I am too busy. NEXT LIVE SHOWS: Rob Mullins Jazz Night at the Sandbox in HB. Wednesday nights at 8 pm. |
