Great interview with Raul Matute of Cold Blood. His classical training and interest in big bands are evident in his playing and arranging. I respect him for choosing a “regular life” in Socal vs. a life of touring. He clearly never left music tho!
Such a joy to find this interview! As a young musician Raul was a major influence on my Hammond B3 playing and I never get tired of hearing the Cold Blood recordings he contributed to.
Would have been nice if you’d asked Raul about playing surf music in Southern California when that music was blooming.
All the jazz talk was cool, and the funk stuff too, but surf was cool too. Larry Carlton and Steve Khan both did time early on getting their feet wet in surf groups.
Well, maybe Raul can talk about his surf music days in interview part 2.

I grew up with Raul Matute. Is it a possibility that you can give him my contact info?
Appreciated much if you can.
