Arnold Featured on David Foster's new CD "Fly Away"
Posted: May 30st, 2008
Fly Away is a labor of love that celebrates the art of one of the most talented musicians ever to appear on the pop scene -- David Foster. Tomi Malm is the arranger and producer extraordinaire who reinvented a number of classics from Foster’s amazing songbook. Malm’s inventive and original takes are brought to life by a cast of superior musicians and singers.
Boz Scaggs and Foster co-wrote some of the best pop music of the last 30 years. Two great examples are the pop/soul ditty “Jojo” and the sweet ballad “Look What You’ve Done To Me”. Here, “Jojo” is performed by the great Arnold McCuller of James Taylor fame. This track oozes class from beginning to end with soulful vocals, a pulsing rhythm section and refined horns. The icing on this smooth cake is the elegant flugelhorn solo by Jan Glaesel.

New Myspace & New Website!
Posted: September 27th, 2008
There is a gentleman who's just come to LA and I'm lucky enough to have met him early on. His name is Brian Webster and he designed my myspace page. I've convinced him because of the compliments I've received on the home page, that it's time we make the web site look as good. Well it's better! He unveiled it to me yesterday and and I didn't know weather to holla or cry! So I did both!
It is the bomb! It is unique! It 's code pretty and user friendly. Very little flash but killer movement between pages. I can't wait for you guys to start hitting him up. He's about to blow up!
Brian Webster (former D.J.) and (friend for Frankie Knuckles) and now my total webmaster!

James Taylor New Album "Covers" Releasing Tuesday!

Covers is the CD that James Taylor fans have been anticipating for years. It is an American songbook that includes classics made famous by artists such as Buddy Holly, The Dixie Chicks, The Temptations, Leonard Cohen, George Jones and Eddie Cochran--songs that James Taylor and his band have performed live over the years but never recorded. These songs have been reinterpreted by James in a way that makes each one his own.
I'm very excited for this to hit stores tomorrow and know everyone will love it. For more information on the release and all things James Taylor check out his website at www.jamestaylor.com

Sabor Releaing May 2008
Posted: May 2nd, 2008
I have been recording solo since 1984, first on AVI Records and then an album on the Virgin label. But everything subsequent has been comfortably independent. My label is What's Good Records.
Sabor is my first project of all original material, every word and melody. It was produced and arranged by my friend, Jon Gilutin. Jon is one of the finest musical directors and keyboard players in L.A. as his playing throughout Sabor will show. John, by the way, is also a brilliant composer. Remember New Attitude? That's the guy! Jon also co-wrote Me Perdonaste and Guru N U with me.
Two of my favourite songs were co-written with Matt Cusson., the baddest most soulful newcomer on the scene, still being discovered worldwide by the fans of Brian McKnight and Christina Aguilera. Matt's responsible for the tender ballad, Love Will Prevail and our composition, Let's Go Back.
Bill Canto, my musical director for twenty years, co-wrote Oil On My Skin. I dedicate this song to Bill's beautiful wife, Mary, and to long-time relationships everywhere.
The rest of the music was co-written with Andy Abad over a three-year period, when he and I were home from the road. During this time, Andy was touring with Clay Aiken and Marc Anthony; I was out with James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, and Lyle Lovett. Nevertheless, we were able to come up with a concept that was true to my dream: A Latin-flavoured collection with enough feeling that I hope will inspire people of all musical tastes.
I chose to name this project Sabor because it means “flavour” or “tasty.” Although these songs don't strictly qualify as Latin Jazz, I love the genre and I wanted to pay homage to this beautiful style of music.
I hope Sabor makes you want to move, be inspired, and, most of all, feel the love of self-expression.
Arnold
