Listen in on this fascinating chat, and the LIVE 3-Note improvisational piano composition playing that of my special guest William Goldstein kindly created for me.
He has been a recording artist for Motown and CBS Masterworks. His own label, distributed worldwide by The Orchard has over 60 albums currently available generating over 3,000,000 streams monthly. He has scored over 50 Movie and Television projects, including Fame & The Miracle Worker. He has written on the arts for The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times. He has been a pioneer in the use of computers and electronic instruments in music. His most distinguishing characteristic as a composer / pianist is his gift of "Instant Composition", which he shares with audiences through Master Classes, recitals and Albums.
These accolades are just scratching the surface. So, wherever you're enjoy the next 45 minutes in the company of this music master ~ William Goldstein, my thanks to YOU for choosing to listen in...

My good friend in London, UK - Fiona Ross, and I had a chance to catch up as we end the summer 2022 break. We chat about Women In Jazz Media ~ founded by Fiona, now with a 22 member female team, and publishing their fourth Women In Jazz Media high-quality digital magazine, with subscribers across the globe.
Fiona Ross is a real joy to know, very caring and I am totally amazed at her multi-talented skills. She tends to rave on about new and upcoming musicians - constantly encouraging and supporting the younger generations.
Fiona is constantly on the go. It's like she has some secret access to NASA rocket fuel. In fact, I don't think she's actually ever stopped since she started in showbusiness at the age of 2-years old.
Listen in and enjoy finding out about this really authentic, fascinating advocate of so....many people. Have a look at the Women In Jazz Media website and its social media links...Plus, her website - especially her BIO and see some of the well-known pop stars she's had a hand in helping on the road to global fame.
Please check out https://womeninjazzmedia.com/ and it's many projects.

My special guest on this episode is Troy Bullock - Bringing back True Country Music. Tradition has a new name. What once perhaps seemed outdated, now has a new voice. Troy is challenging the status quo, bringing a host of Traditional Country Music influences with him.
Listen to Troy's recent new debut release, 'PAYDIRT'
Troy and I really covered some ground in this episode from Gold mining to some of the moset important elements of life and family, being very musch what inspires Troy to express in his music. Being an independeant artist can be a challenging road to travel, not so with Troy. One of the things that i was left after spending quality time with this wholesome guy - was how kind hearted and determined he is to achieve the goals he's set for himself and the music that burns within him is shared with you.
