Lemmon House Productions
San Francisco, California
The driving force behind Lemmon House Productions is producer/composer Walter Earl. Walter began his career in Dallas, Texas where he studied with some of the best jazz musicians around, including Claude Johnson, Ken Boome, and Kenny Kirkland. Walter moved to San Francisco in 1996, ready to take the city by storm. Demand for him grew quickly as a studio maven, and he shared his talents with producers at Radical House, Bayview Productions, Frisco Studios and Tarpan Studios, to name a few.
Producing his debut album "Fly" in ''97, it quickly became clear Walter was not just a studio musician. His sound was a welcome addition to a new genre of music called, "Bay Area Cool", a seamless blend of jazz, hip hop, and retro soul.
A year later he produced his second album, "In the Middle of the Crowd", demonstrating his willingness to allow his abilities to grow. With "In the Middle", Walter was able to retain the motion and spirit which made "Fly" so unique, while drawing from classic jazz elements, hip hop, and R&B. The result was a refreshing sound of confident sophistication.
This sophisticated sound has attracted the notice of grammy award winning producer Narada Michael Walden, Felton Pilat of ConFunkshun, Ritchie Havens, and DJ Scott Hardkiss. Over the years, Earl has also worked closely with Ron K and Bernard Wright.
Walter''s most recent work "The Fillmore Connection" is an eclectic mix of smooth jazz and hip hop soul. Vocally, Earl brings to mind music greats like Leroy Hutson, and Maxwell, Joe Sample. His lyrics, written from the heart, are an emotional appeal for a better world. The song "Peace of Mind" is particularily soulful, speaking of a need we all have felt at some point. Whether your looking for ambiance or inspiration, "The Fillmore Connection" will take you there.
It''s easy to see that Walter Earl''s musical appetite is never satiated. His name and that of Lemmonhouseproductions has appeared a dozen different albums in the last four years, as he lends his sound and talent to each new project with a passion for great music rarely seen. Give Earl a try and let his groove move you.
