Welcome to the second Music Day episode! The theme of this episode is Latin Music.

I grew up in New York City. My father - who played the trumpet - loved Latin music and used to keep the car radio tuned to all the Latin stations. So that’s how I first became exposed to this great music with its fantastic beat and feel. Later on, when I formed my band, Project Grand Slam, it so happened that the majority of my musicians came from Latin countries like Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba and Puerto Rico. They brought their wonderful Latin heritage and feel to my music and I decided that I needed to write some Latin songs.

“The Queen’s Carnival” is from the PGS album of the same name. The title was a bit of a play on words because I grew up in Queens, NY. But I named it after the Royal Queen because when I wrote it I envisioned a big, royal carnival presided over by the Queen. See what you think.

“Take Me” is from the album PGS 7. For me it was a kind of road trip through the Latin neighborhoods of New York City. Listen and see if you can hear, smell and taste them.

Stay tuned for more Music Day episodes from time to time.

“Live At SteelStacks” is the new 5-song EP by Robert and his band, Project Grand Slam. The release captures the band at the top of their game and shows off the breadth, scope and sound of the band.

The EP has been highly praised by musicians and reviewers alike. Elliott Randall, of Steely Dan fame, the guitarist who recorded the unforgettable solos in ‘Reelin’ In The Years’, calls Live At SteelStacks “Captivating!”. Tony Carey, the incredible multi-talented artist who has produced Joe Cocker, Eric Burden and John Mayall, says “PGS burns down the house!”. Alan Hewitt of the Moody Blues says “Full of life!” Melody Maker says simply “Virtuoso musicians!”, and Hollywood Digest says “Such a great band!”.

“All Of The Time” is Robert’s most recent single by his band Project Grand Slam. It’s a playful, whimsical love song. It’s light and airy and exudes the happiness and joy of being in love. The reviewers agree. Melody Maker gives it 5 Stars and calls it “Pure bliss…An intimate sound with abundant melodic riches!”. Pop Icon also gives it 5 Stars and calls it “Ecstasy…One of the best all-around bands working today!”.
