Don't steal their work. Don't repost it without asking. Do go to the shows. Artists work hard to present quality shows and to write quality songs. In today's environment, every penny you spend makes a difference in keeping the music going. If you are still stuck on the idea that all the major labels should pay for their greedy deeds, remember that indy artists such as myself have a lifetime of paying to do our own records without support from labels. We pay our own advertisting costs. We pay our own production costs. We spend our days answering your emails and updating websites, myspace, facebook, twitter, and anything else that gets invented so that we can provide music for you. Send us your emails, your comments, then be patient. It is a lifetime investment to be a recording artist. If you always wanted to be a pro piano player but you went a different direction with your life, support me in my life choice of making the best quality music I can make while doing all the various things that I do. Support your radio stations. Learn about the music. Let us know what you think. What you think is important. Music is something we do for us, but we do it for you. ABOUT DOWNLOADS: My music is available at a lot of places now, but it SOUNDS the best when you get it at iTunes. The other sites are cool, but many that sell the music cheap encode at lower rates and it doesn't sound nearly as good. Go for the quality-worth your nickel. I recently listened to most of the previews of my songs over at Amazon's MP3 store. Definitely sounds good as well...a little more bottom on the tracks at that store. Rhapsody has some nice tracks up including the "One Night In Houston" album which isn't up on iTunes. Emusic is a cheaper store but they encode the music at a lot lower rate and I don't think it sounds nearly as good as some of the other stores out there. Napster is still around, Deezer has a store with music in it, and now people in Russia and China can get my songs as well which is pretty cool. I noticed there is a lot of web traffic coming to planetmullins from those countries. Jazz, new age, world music, electronica, fusion, techno, dance, rap, classical......I cover all these genres in the albums I have made so far. Take time to check them out, and let me know what you like the best. It matters. If you dig the music, the best thing you can do is to tell your friends about it. Play it for them. Hang out and check it out, old school. Take it with you on your iPod and rock out, chill out, freak out, just be yourself. Take me with you. Planetmullins.  |
FEBRUARY
2010-Los
Angeles, CA The Grammys are over and what a blast of a week it was here in LA. If you'd like to get my full report, sign up for the mailing list list at the bottom of this page.  The new year brings new music and new ideas. I have two new albums that will be out this year, possibly three if I have time. My main thoughts going into the new year are about taking music places that it has yet to go and creating sounds that have not been heard before. If you are into networking, you can add me on facebook as a friend or become a fan. If you'd like to join me on myspace, there is a lot of music over there. I update my twitter feed pretty often and you can follow me there as well. There are several new videos up on Youtube. You can watch the vido below from this page or visit my youtube page for more videos. In 2010, I am proceeding to grow my recorded works, teaching program, Grammy involvement, and personal life. It will be a busy year for sure. MUSIC RELEASED IN 2009. Many longtime fans have been looking for the music from Rob Mullins 5th Gear, Tokyo Nights, Nite Street, and Jazz Jazz. You can find digital versions of those albums online now in the collections "Early Works the 80's Vol I and II" as well as in "Early Works the 90's" and "Jazz Straight Ahead." New songs are included in all those releases, so your best bet is to just go to iTunes or Amazon and listen to the music and buy what you want. A new single, "Darkest Night" was released in 2009 as is my first single in the world music genre. Many references to my hit album "Dance For The New World" are in "Darkest Night." Take a listen. 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 The jazz studies program here continues to grow, especially for piano players. More than 300 custom play alongs are part of the curriculum. Students are contributing hours of research, and all are growing. We are kicking some butt. NEXT LIVE SHOWS: Rob Mullins w Hubert Laws Group Jacarta Indonesia March 7 2010.  |

"Darkest Night" is my most recent single. It features sounds similar to "Storyteller" and "Dance For the New World." I produced it in my studio here in Los Angeles and spent quite a bit of time on the drums which are a combination of tabla and tom toms along with other American and Indian Percussion sounds. You can hear it at iTunes. Jazz Piano Voicings is my Jazz Piano Books published by Hal Leonard Corp. In this book I explain how jazz piano voicings are constructed and how to use them along with swing and latin basslines. Any keyboard player can benefit from checking out the concepts and sounds in this book if they want to expand their sounds at the keyboard and improve their understanding of how to make chords that sound great on their keyboard. Storyteller came out in 2008 and is currently on the radio around the world. On this album I added Russian classical influences to my usually more happy sounding style and tried to capture the sounds I heard and felt around the world as I traveled during 2005-2007. Probably my favorite album I've done so far. The long and the short of it, I've been here awhile. Most of the sites list guys way older than me as my contemporaries. They don't mention I was basically a college student making albums when they were already established pros. It's cool. I still got a lot ahead of me music wise. Be here for me. I'm still doing it, and I'm still passionate about it. Tech is cool, but honor is more cool. Albums about heroes can be cool, but mostly they are not cool. If you want to check out a real music hero, go check out George Russell who taught Miles, Bill Evans, and Coltrane. That guy was never a video superstar. People said he was crazy. Mostly, he was a genius who people didn't undertand. He was a guy that fought massive illness but never gave up on the real math. The real spirit. To him, it wasn't about how smooth he was, but what musical structures best represent the meaning of the universe. That is a real musical hero. Hollywood is Hollywood. I live here, but I am more at home at planetmullins. No one disputes the music here. It is totally from the heart, and massively from the brain. Sure I have used tek, but something as simple as a great piano is really all it takes to see God and change the vibrations in the room to something worthwhile. That's what I'm talkin' about. So enjoy your time here at PLANETMULLINS. You can drop me a line to my email info@planetmullins.com or give me a call at 310-572-7245 if you'd like to book one of my bands or set up some musical instruction or business consulting. ALL THE BEST! ROB MULLINS |
