All Over The Map

After almost seventeen years Jon Allen is leaving (has left), the Steve Tyrell Band! He takes us through what he actually did and didn’t do during that time as well talking about his law school plans and what it took to get prepped for all of that crazy business. Pianist Gary Matsumoto and guitarist Grant Geissman join in on the conversation adding the momentum needed to complete this episode because Kevin was busy eating. Lyman with his gift of gab basically saved the podcast, (just ask him).

Hey hey hey it’s the 30th episode of All Over The Map and because NOBODY demanded it and after about twenty-two years, the boys are finally BACK! And since they are NOT original in their collective thinking at all they did this episode AGAIN at you guessed it, Catalina Jazz Club. They reminisce about The Jazz Cruise 2019 from which they had recently returned and tell stories of hanging on the ship with some of the best musicians that Jazz has to offer. They also talk about the week before the cruise, which included three gigs in TX and then it was off to Atlanta, South Carolina, and then BACK to Atlanta where fellow drummer and podcaster (www.workingdrummer.net), Zack Albetta showed up to check out a show. It was crazy few weeks to say the least!

Lyman shares the good news that he is going to be Best Man for Jon Allen’s upcoming wedding in August and once again they make the annual trip to Italy and Kevin talks about the other places he visited while in Europe. (Don’t be jelly). And big changes have come to the Steve Tyrell camp…

DISCLAIMER: The volume on the first 30 seconds of this particular podcast (after the intro), sucks because Kevin doesn’t know how to operate the new recording software on his iPhone. So there is that BUT it does get better so hang in there. PS You’re welcome.

The boys are back! It’s been a minute but Lyman and Kevin are coming to you dear listener from (for the second time), Houston! They had a whirlwind weekend first flying to OKC and performing at a new place called The Jones Assembly, http://www.thejonesassembly.com/. If you’re in the area you MUST go! They have incredible food, wonderful musical acts and the venue is nothing short of fantastic. Steve Tyrell and the band were treated like royalty as they always are by The Three Amigos; Fred Hall, David Hornbeek and Ray Hibbard. The following morning they flew to Houston and performed at the Stafford Center.

Lyman complains about how much he hates built in GPS in cars and Kevin talks about seeing his old friend Bernadette Hilario and her beautiful family. She was for many years the road manager with Doc Severinsen while Kevin toured with him. Lyman and Kevin then reminisce about a recent show that they played at the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach, CA. Kevin and his girlfriend get a serious hook up from friend and fan of the band Cathy LaFever to go see John Williams conduct The LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl and the following week Lyman also goes to the Bowl but to see the great Harry Connick Jr. 

The boys do a recording for singer Dan Olivos’ upcoming release and Lyman brags about his first ever arrangement for horns and is SO proud of it he can’t even remember the title of the song. Brilliant.

Episode 28 comes to you Dear Listener (for the second time), from the Emerald City! Kevin talks about the completion of his upgraded home studio and staying busy during the summer recording projects for clients at home. AND believe it or not he gets on another diet HOWEVER, this time it’s really working! In the What’s New department Lyman and Kevin back up some well-known singers for Miriam Garfield’s 80th Birthday Bash. (She’s the sidekick on the show http://martiniinthemorning.com/). Lyman along with his group Black Market Reverie, also perform at the shindig.

Kevin the previous night attempts to open up a wine bottle, which just so happens to have a twist off corkscrew and Lyman, hogs the playlist on his computer. Lyman’s son makes the Granada Hills All-Star Little League Team and finally, the guys get sidetracked talking about the videogame Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Once again Lyman and Kevin find themselves driving to LAX. Shocking, we know. Lyman discusses his displeasure for the renovations being done at LAX and their new policies. Kevin promotes his guest appearance on Zack Albetta’s Working Drummer Podcast, (http://www.workingdrummer.net/) and Lyman has a new CD along with singer Renee Myara. It’s a mixture of jazz, classic French pop, Americana and their own original songs. The name of the band is called Black Market Reverie (https://www.blackmarketreverie.com/), and their debut release is entitled "The Rainy Days". Kevin finally took the plunge and invested into revamping and upgrading his home studio, http://www.kevinwinard.com/studio.html. Be sure to visit his page to hear samples of his work for hire! And oh yeah, Kevin started Weight Watchers. 

Lyman hires Kevin to record some drums for a song that Lyman produced for actor David Haydn Jones. David is best known for his recurring role as Mr. Ketch on the hit show Supernatural. The song is “Makin’ Bacon” and you can find it on CD Baby, https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/davidhaydnjones and on iTunes. All of the proceeds go to David’s favorite charity, The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America!

It’s only taken five months but Lyman and Kevin have another podcast! In this episode Kevin talks about his trip to Steve Tyrell’s cardiologist in NYC and they both share the amazing experiences that they had the week prior on Jazz Cruise 2018. There was fun to be had, librations to be consumed and music, music, MUSIC to be heard!

Kevin turns 53 and Lyman has a new CD coming out featuring him playing ukulele, bass and singing. Kevin does not, however he IS considering revamping his home studio. So there is that.

Buona Sera! Hey hey hey, it’s the twenty-fifth episode of All Over The Map and as promised Lyman and Kevin recorded it in BEAUTIFUL Toscana, Italia at the gorgeous Monteverdi, Tuscany! (https://monteverdituscany.com/) The boys decided to try something new and asked many of the folks who stayed the week at Monteverdi as well as some of the employees to join in on the festivities and talk about some of their favorite moments. As always, there’s plenty of ball busting to go around and also there were some very special guests like Lauren Tyrell who just so happens to be the boss’s daughter, her husband Nathan who is one of the funniest people on the planet and brand spankin’ new newlyweds Glenn and Rene Allan! The Chief Financial Officer and all around good egg, Steve Abbott explains the origins of Monteverdi and Kevin espouses the talents of his girlfriend’s driving techniques. After all she IS Asian…Francisco Trejo who works with the owner of Monteverdi (Michael Cioffi), takes things up a notch by offering to hire another band for next year’s events and THEN proceeds to spill his wine all over Kevin. Good times indeed! Lyman chimes in on Jon Allen’s marvelous navigational skills and Jon’s better half Abigail shares her favorite experiences. The lovely Karin Lindenberg from Germany warms our heart by contributing a beautiful and poignant moment and finally, Bob Mann may or may not have pushed his wife down a flight of stairs. It’s noisy and raucous BUT an amazing time was had by all! We hope you enjoy… AND don’t forget, if you like us OR hate us (we don’t care either way, we just crave the attention), please visit our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/alloverthemappodcast/?ref=aymt_homepage_panel or give us a rave review on iTunes! https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/all-over-the-map/id996286878?mt=2.

After a whirlwind trip to Ohio the boys decide to try something new: Bookend Podcasts! That’s right folks, they did back to back podcasts. (Not really, they were five days apart) The previous episode had them driving TO LAX. This episode has them driving FROM LAX back to the Valley. Simply incredible.

While in baggage claim Lyman out of the kindness of his heart buys Kevin a Starbucks coffee but gets the order wrong (of course), and then expects Kevin to carry it to his car when he knows damn well how much luggage Kevin has. So typical of Lyman…

They regale about how incredibly well treated they were by the people who hired their boss man Steve Tyrell and the band and cover the weekend’s festivities on and off the stage. Lyman goes to a Mud Hens baseball game the first night without Kevin because that's how Lyman rolls.

Kevin talks about reconnecting with old friend Scott Lavender and his wife (music director for Johnny Mathis), from his Captain & Tennille days. And being the topical intellectuals that they are, they give a blow by blow of the McGregor/Mayweather fight.

The boys give a shout out to their super duper listeners Cathy LaFever and Cat Ellen. Kevin then exposes lifelong friend Todd Pierce who has a Disney podcast with 20,000 listeners per month on how he won’t help promote All Over The Map. Some friend indeed…

Be sure to check out Episode 25, which will be coming to you from beautiful Toscana, Italy!

The boys are back! Episode 23 takes place on the way to LAX where Lyman and Kevin get caught up on the summer’s events. Lyman is the busiest bass player in Show Business and Kevin actually has four days of recording sessions in a row. (It’s a Festivus Miracle!).

Lyman and his family take a vaycay to D.C. While back home in Los Angeles he does a couple of personal recording projects and considers starting his own record label. To combat this Kevin isn’t quite as productive but is proud of the fact that his goatee is getting longer.

They then both talk about their next big trip, which just so happens to be in Italy! And yes, they promise THIS time to do a podcast!

The guys finish off this episode by talking about LA traffic and the potholes (pun intended), of this season of Games Of Thrones…Nerd alert!

The gang’s all here! That’s right dear listener, in episode 22 Lyman and Kevin come to you from Fairfield, CT and are joined by the illustrious trumpeter Bijon Watson, the lovely Quinn Johnson, real estate mogul Bob Mann, Jon Allen makes a quick appearance and once again, our boss Steve Tyrell makes a cameo explaining why Kevin is such a pain in the ass.

Lyman goes on and on about his travel woes in getting to the gig. Kevin and Lyman discuss their previous week of performing with Diane Schurr and Ernie Watts. The gang then discuss where they plan to eat the next day (hey, it’s important!), and Lyman recounts the time Kevin over ordered at a truck stop in Indiana. Kevin sees Wonder Woman and Bijon talks about Gal Gadot’s various roles in movies.

Steve Tyrell talks about his general routine after finishing a performance, his radio show on KJAZZ 88.1 and

then plays on homage to the late, great Lew Soloff.

Quinn talks about his new album entitled “Trio Con Clave”, which is fantastic by the way, and Kevin recounts how he missed a flight due to “unforeseen” circumstances.
