Talking Story with Ryan LaValette (The Hawaii Smooth Jazz Connection)
The Man who Does it all. The host for this show is Gwen Harris. The guest is Ryan LaValette.
During this episode of The Hawaiian Smooth Jazz Connection we are talking with Ryan LaValette, from New Zealand, who is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, arranger and engineer who started to play guitar, saxophone and the bass at an early age. Ryan was influenced by the music and style of guitar legend George Benson and he primarily considered himself a guitar player.
A graduate of the School of Audio Engineering (SAE) Auckland, he was well aware that expanding outside New Zealand into America would be significant for his development. For his debut album Saturated Smooth (2018), he was able to win over guitarist Clay Benjamin and saxophonist Donald Hayes as guest musicians.
Keyboardist and producer Greg Manning not only put him in touch with the Trippin ‘N’ Rhythm label, but also played a decisive role in his debut work for this label.
