It’s been an interesting musical career for Randy. His first job in Los Angeles (after graduating from Boston’s Berklee School Of Music), was as a singing waiter, and he learned about the fine art of busing tables and cleaning ashtrays from Peter Tork of the Monkees. He put together his original New Wave band “Bad Felix” in the 1980’s and performed throughout Los Angeles opening for many of L.A. mainstay acts including “The Motels,” “Oingo Boingo,” and “Tommy Tu-tone.”
In the early 90’s Randy decided to travel the world, and for the next 8 years had long engagements in Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, and The Virgin Islands.
In 2000, Randy re-located back to Los Angeles and started writing a new album with saxophonist Jimmy Street that eventually became “L.A. Dialogues.” The CD was released in 2003 and was “the most-added” new CD to many smooth jazz stations that summer. It continues to be a staple on XM and Sirius smooth jazz stations.
Randy (along with re-locating to Santa Fe, NM) then recorded and completed his CD entitled “The Road To Santiago.” It features Chick Corea's saxophonist Eric Marienthal, Ray Charles and Nora Jones’ guitarist Irvin “Magic” Kramer, among many other great L.A. musicians.
In September 2007, Randy was chosen as one of the top four New Mexico’s best new Jazz acts.
Randy's next CD, "Classic Kutz for Contemporary Katz," was a homage to 1950's style recording and playing, evoking Sinatra and Bennett with great horn arrangments from Randy and the legendary Jimmy Street.
Randy's newest CD "Blue Moon On The Bayou", was recorded with Randy and his Santa Fe band (Steve "Hurricane" Hill, Arie Brasser, Joe Liberty, and Rusty Crutcher).
It captures the fun of Fat Tuesdays live shows with the undercurrent of a dark Bayou night.
