StrongWriter On the Radio: (Episode 13) “Get To Know Record Producer Gary Katz”

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_message color=”alert-info” style=”3d”]On a previous episode of StrongWriter On the Radio, I interviewed singer Frank Shiner and dubbed him “a legend in the making!”    His debut CD, Feels Like Home, is set for launch in June 2014, and sounds incredible!  Not only because of Frank’s golden vocals…but also because of a talented producer, Gary Katz.  And on this episode, I got the privilege to have a short interview with him.[/vc_message][vc_column_text h1_css=”{.vc_customizer_1407396425967}” h2_css=”{.vc_customizer_1407396425967}” h3_css=”{.vc_customizer_1407396425969}” h4_css=”{.vc_customizer_1407396425970}” h5_css=”{.vc_customizer_1407396425971}” h6_css=”{.vc_customizer_1407396425972}” p_css=”{.vc_customizer_1407396425973}” link_css=”{.vc_customizer_1407396425973}” list_css=”{.vc_customizer_1407396425974}”]

If you have in your collection any of the first eight original Steely Dan albums, you will definitely know who Gary Katz is.   His handiwork is evident in those recordings, as it is with Donald Fagen’s debut solo effort The Nightfly!   He continues to produce music today through his own company.    Yes, the man is a legend in the record business, but in the interview, I learned that he has humble and balanced view of his status in life.  Gary, throughout his career spanning more than 40 years, simply went into work each day to “make good records.”   The list of other artists he has produced includes Diana Ross, 10cc, Tupac Shakur, Laura Nyro, Eye To Eye, Love and Money, and Joe Cocker.

I am very grateful to Gary for indulging my questions in this interview.  I hope we get the chance to talk once more.   Below, you can listen to our conversation.
