| Larry Dunn: With his funky keyboard playing, Larry Dunn helped transform Earth, Wind & Fire into one of the all-time most successful R&B bands, with sales of more than 90 million albums worldwide, and 13 GRAMMY nominations. In addition to playing organ, synthesizer, piano, keyboards, and clavinet with the group from 1972 until 1983, Larry held the position and handled the responsibilities of the band's Musical Director for many years. As one of the key people behind the scene, much of the group's musical success can be attributed to him. In addition, he rehearsed Earth, Wind & Fire for live stage performances and wrote many of the musical segue ways and medleys. Larry had major creative influence in, and is proud of his contribution to such Earth, Wind & Fire classics as: "Shining Star," "Spirit," "Be Ever Wonderful," "Runnin'," "Sunshine," as well as other melodies that will live on in the hearts of fans and popular music lovers alike. Together with other members of Earth, Wind & Fire, Larry was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in March 2000. Lately, Larry has been involved with production projects, writing music for commercials, film, and studio work. Along with playing keyboards, programming synthesizers, and composing, Larry has developed a talent of producing and composing for other artists. To further this talent, for the past 8 years, Larry has been increasing his knowledge of sound engineering, computers, and synthesizer programming. Larry, his wife Luisa, and Darrell S. Elliott esq. formed a production company: Source Productions. Larry's production and performance credits include: Level 42, Ronnie Laws, George Duke, Nathan East, Lenny White, Paulinho Da Costa, Eddie Del Barrio, Foley, Ramsey Lewis, Caldera, Roland Bautista, Hubert Laws, Lenny White, Stanley Turrentine, Dianne Reeves, Who's 2 Say, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Sylvia St. James, Topanga Express, along with other artists and groups. In keeping with his "goal of reaching as many people as possible through music," he released in Japan, his first solo album. An album that blends contemporary music and new age while adding a twist of funk, "Lover’s Silhouette" is a project that encompass True World Music featuring eleven powerful tracks that pick up where Larry left off with Earth, Wind & Fire. Luisa also demonstrates her strong vocal talent on "Don’t It Make You Want To Cry." This album spotlights musical greats like Phil Upchurch, Ronnie Laws, Marcel East, Hilliard Wilson, Steven Dunn, Derf Reklaw, and former Earth, Wind & Fire band members Ralph Johnson and Al McKay, and brings an array of musical textures to all the finely written and produced compositions. Co-produced by Chris Brunt, it also displays the talent of blind vocalist, Ellis Hall on "Maybe In My Dreams." Internationally, Larry has made personal appearances at several spectacular multi-million dollar concert productions in Europe and Japan. French music composer/producer Jean Mare Cerrone has asked Larry to return year after year to perform. Up next for Larry...a new CD/DVD entitled, "Into The Journey." One of the songs from the upcoming CD entitled, "Finally" is now available at iTunes. It features Beloyd Taylor and James Ingram. Click on the image below to watch a preview... "I want to create music for every medium. Earth, Wind & Fire music touched the world. Along with my other projects, I have created a library of music which appeals to music buffs everywhere. In keeping with this tradition, I am moving into other endeavors with the goal of reaching as many people as possible through music." - Larry Dunn |
