Bruce Swedien Interview

Bruce is one of my heroes. His work as an engineer/producer with Quincy Jones on albums by The Brothers Johnson, and Michael Jackson is second to none. Incredible sonics-these records sound like nothing else! Bruce is the king of sonics in my opinion!

Coupled with amazing songwriting from Rod Temperton (Heatwave) and stellar arrangements from Quincy, right now all the Quincy/Swedien produced/engineered records are getting lots of rotation in my car, studio and ipod.

Oh yeah and most of the musicians on records such as Off the Wall and Thriller are heroes of mine too! Rod Temperton, John JR Robinson, Greg Phillinganes, The Pocaros, David Paich, David Foster.What a line up!!!

Not forgetting the awsome Seawind Horns lead by Jerry Hey, probably the best horn section around. Google them for more info and discography.

inspirational stuff!
