THE MUSICAL GENIUS

OF

J   A   N

H   A   M   M   E   R

MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA

JEFF BECK

CARLOS SANTANA

MIAMI VICE

Jan Hammer's musical career is as firmly rooted in the fundamentals of classical, jazz and rock as it is committed to the future of electronics, synthesized sound, the possibilities of interactive media, television, film and animation.  His walls are lined with Grammy awards and gold and platinum plaques from around the world.  His name is found on scores of recordings spanning the 1970s to the '90s -- solo albums, collaborations with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jeff Beck, Al Di Meola, Mick Jagger, Carlos Santana, Stanley Clarke, Neal Schon, Elvin Jones and many others.

Jan has composed and produced soundtracks for a long list of motion pictures, the music for 90 episodes of Miami Vice (which spun-off four soundtrack albums and its worldwide #1 hit theme song), 20 episodes of the popular British television series Chancer, and the music for BEYOND the Mind's Eye, one of the all-time best-selling music videos in Billboard chart history.

Jan spent a year as keyboardist/conductor with Sarah Vaughan.  In 1971, he became a member of the original Mahavishnu Orchestra, (then) the most successful group ever to record and tour in the jazz-rock fusion genre, selling over 2 million records worldwide, and performing 530 shows before their December 31, 1973 farewell concert.

Jan's solo career began with The First Seven Days (1975), produced and recorded at Red Gate Studio in his upstate New York farmhouse. Over the next decade Jan produced and performed on nearly 20 albums with his own bands (the Jan Hammer Group, and later Hammer), and such musicians as Jeff Beck, Al Di Meola, and Neal Schon (of Journey), among others. With Beck, Jan wrote, produced and performed on several tracks for the guitar legend’s platinum Wired album after which the two set out on a massive 8 month, 117 date tour that yielded the gold album Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group Live.  In 1981 and 1983 Jan teamed up with Neal Schon on the albums Untold Passion and Here To Stay and, still in 1983, Jan also joined Beck, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker and others for a series of benefit concerts for Ronnie Lane's ARMS (Action Research into Multiple Sclerosis).  Into 1984, Jan played on Mick Jagger's She's The Boss and Jeff Beck's Flash -- which included Jan's Grammy-winning song "Escape."

In 1985, "Miami Vice Theme" (MCA Records) hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart and, in so doing, became the first and only original version of an instrumental theme for television to reach this pinnacle of success. "Miami Vice Theme" became a top 5 international hit and earned Jan two Grammy awards: “Best Pop Instrumental Performance” and “Best Instrumental Composition.”  The Miami Vice Soundtrack album stayed #1 in Billboard for 12 weeks, hitting quadruple-platinum and selling over 4 million copies in the U.S. alone, with worldwide sales in excess of 7 million as of this writing.

AND AWARD WINNING TV AND FILM COMPOSER

 

Jimmy Haun got his start in the music business through his childhood friend Michael Sherwood and toured with Michael's father’s (Bobby Sherwood) jazz band at 15 years old playing jazz standards and hits of the day. Too young to go into the lounges they toured, the boys were forced to sit backstage between shows and work up their own brand of music. Out of this came their first band Lodgic and later Michael's younger brother Billy Sherwood would take over the role as bass player. They released an album in 1985 on A&M Records produced by David Paich and Steve Porcaro of the group Toto. Some touring followed by opening for Supertramp in the mid-'80s. Thanks to Steve Lukather, Haun got some gigs working as a studio musician playing on numerous recordings. Around this time, Haun met Michael Ruff and did some west coast touring where he then met Sheryl Crow who was singing backup for Ruff and joined one of her first bands. Haun went on to play much of the guitar on Yes's 1991 album Union , before work in The Key with Billy Sherwood and The Chris Squire Experiment with Sherwood and Chris Squire. He also did session work for Air Supply, Kitaro and Jon & Vangelis during this period.

Haun got involved with Yes producer Jonathan Elias and started composing music for TV and film. In 1996, Haun composed the Mandalay pictures logo. Haun worked extensively with Elias, including his American River album (2004) but also on music for commercials. Haun created the original yodel logo for Yahoo in 1996 as well as the voice for Expedia.com.

Haun re-joined Sherwood in the Yes spin-off supergroup Circa, formed in 2006, also with Tony Kaye (ex-Yes) and initially Alan White (currently of Yes). Sherwood, Kaye and Haun were also in Yoso with singer Bobby Kimball. Yoso subsequently disbanded and Haun left Circa to focus on commercial work.

Haun composed the music for the film Boulevard starring Robin Williams. He also is credited with producing and singing the end song "Goodbye Joy”.

In 2016, Haun played the majority of the guitars on Steve Porcaro's solo album Someday/Somehow .

Haun's father was singer Jim Haun, better known as Rouvaun. Jimmy Haun's daughter is the actress and singer Lindsey Haun (born 1984) and he has worked with her on her music career.

Guest Occupation: ANNA DEETER, Etalon Unblocking Master
Guest Biography:

ANNA DEETER, M.A., Etalon Unblocking Master, Speech Educator, Author, Public Speaker, Founder, Director and Instructor of Speech Academie Etalon International 

ANNA DEETER, Founder of Speech Academie Etalon International By R.A. Snezhko, English-language Division, has more than 30 years of experience as a conventional Speech Therapist in Russia and as a fully credentialed Speech-Language-Hearing-Rehabilitative Service Teacher in the U.S.A. During this time, Ms. Deeter conventionally treated numerous people who “stuttered”, “stammered” and “cluttered”, all of which are medical terms that Anna strongly opposes today.

As will all traditional speech clinicians throughout the world, Anna practiced conventional therapeutic work, but was not satisfied with the results.  She began a journey to find the answer to “why” these traditional medical approaches and treatment methods, used for over hundred years, are essentially “ineffective” for stuttering.  Anna discovered that such traditional medical approaches lacked clear understanding of cause, mechanism and of ways to rid people of stuttering. In addition, they virtually never guaranteed a 100% successful outcome at the present moment. Anna’s professional curiosity and passionate desire to find a reliable solution for solving a “stuttering puzzle” made her look outside of the traditional approach. It was at that time Ms. Deeter found the “truths” of what the “source” behind stuttering actually is!

Since 2012, Anna has shared her knowledge with thousands of Individuals who “stutter”, “stammer”, “clutter” and “mumble”, all of which are caused by individual mental blocks that make people perform unnatural speech actions. Anna has personally educated hundreds of students with various levels of Speech Mastery. Whether these students spoke English as their primary or secondary language, all of them learned under her guidance the information about natural speech norms/etalons. They implemented her “Etalon” teachings and unblocked the connection between their “body, mind and will”. Through the “Etalon” Speech Unblocking Course, these students experienced a 100% revival of their following normal functions: Speech, thinking, memory and attention.

As a Health Coach, I am your personal advocate for living an energized and passionate life. I work with my clients to help them create happy, healthy lives in a way that is flexible, fun, and free of denial and discipline. By working together, we can discover the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. Making gradual, lifelong changes enables you to reach your current and future health goals.

Health Coaches are knowledgeable advisors who provide ongoing support and guidance as you set goals and make sustainable changes that improve your health and happiness. As your Health Coach, I will listen carefully and help you to navigate the world of contradictory nutrition advice to determine what changes are necessary for you.

Grief Counseling
Recovery from loss is accomplished by discovering and completing all of the undelivered communications that accrue in relationships. We are often advised to “Let Go,” and “Move On” after losses of all kinds. Most of us would do that if we knew how.

Completion of pain caused by loss is what allows us to let go and move on. It is almost impossible to move on without first taking a series of actions that lead to completion.

Before taking the actions to complete, it is important to look and often dismiss some of the ideas or myths that we have tried to use with loss, but which are not working.

Biological Decoding:
The missing link? Biological Decoding: Are you ready to let go of your dis-ease?

How closely are the diseases we attract and our emotions linked together? “Modern” medicine has dismissed this idea and supports the premise that we are merely mechanical objects in bodies and need to be addressed on this “repair” level—almost as if a mechanic would address the slipping transmission of a car.  Yet, if this hypothesis was truly sound, once a condition was “cured” or “fixed” or “free” from our body, why would it return? Or why would we go on to manifest another disease, condition or more serious ailment or illness, somehow related to the first? Disease is an unnatural unbalanced state. We are more than a physical body. We are mind, body and spirit manifest as matter, and therefore must address healing and wellness from a broader view which includes mind, body and spiritual awareness beginning with ourselves and with our intention. Do we want to get well or do we simply want relief?

The biggest secret is you have to be ready and ask for help. Each individual must be willing and ready to let his or her universe of stored beliefs and emotions go, or the disease will remain. The reason is simple: “the disease is the perfect biological solution to the conflict and also the undercover message to the patient that he is suffering such a conflict. If the conflict is still latent, the disease will be present. So, Biological decoding seeks to comprehend the relation of emotions and beliefs with the psyche, the brain, the body and the spirit; hidden away from the one participating—you.

Guest Occupation: William Michael Forbes, Spiritual Medium, Channel and intuitive life coach
Guest Biography:

William Michael Forbes, is a Spiritual Medium, Channel, and
Intuitive Life Coach.

William Michael has been coaching people for over 30 years, yet something happened a little over a year ago that opened him up to the Divine, energy beings that exist outside of our normal range of perception, we do not see them or hear them until we discover how to tap into them. This gave William the ability to guide others with their inquires and to facilitate in developing their abilities to connect with non-physical, high vibrational beings.

He feels honored to be able to connect others to their passed loved ones, Guardian Angels, and receive guidance from ascended masters and other multidimensional beings.

"I did, in fact, have an experience over 40 years ago where I heard an invisible voice; I was standing on a bridge, 131 feet up from the ground, about to jump. And the last tearful thought I had as I climbed up onto the ledge was, “If there is anyone that can help me, do it now”, and at that moment poised on the edge I heard a strong and very calm voice, say; “Do not jump, get down off the bridge, then go to the payphone on the corner and call this number xxx number and ask for…Terry O’Brien.

- Now I can imagine that you might be thinking how unusual that was, but at that time I was in such an emotionally messed up place, that after looking briefly around to try to find who spoke to me and I did not see anyone, I just decided to go to the payphone, call the number the voice gave me and ask for that man, who graciously invited me into his home to live with his family and he became my first real mentor.

I now know that it was my guardian angel John who spoke to me on that bridge 40 years ago. I know now with absolute certainty we are never alone!"

There is always someone with us, waiting for us to ask question and open up our ears and eyes to receive the much-needed guidance and support that this world cannot always provide. There are realms of knowledge, energy, and consciousness that are available to everyone who has the willingness to explore beyond what they know. I am honored to be able to share my knowledge and experience with anyone embarking on the sacred journey to explore, create and manifest a life created from love. If you are questioning the validity of the Unseen World I encourage you to explore further, for what your eyes see and your ears hear are but a tiny part of the great and wonderful mystery of your being.

About Sandy Anastasi

Like many who realize their psychic gifts later in life, Sandy Anastasi awakened to her abilities in her late 20’s. She understood that many people develop deep psychological problems because their psychic abilities are misunderstood and often blocked. These insights and an inner need to pass on her knowledge and abilities led her to begin teaching others to develop their own psychic gifts. She believes that if you are psychic, you MUST use your gifts, or at least learn to control them, or they will use you!

Major Media Appearances

Sandy has appeared on national TV along side friend, colleague, and former student John Edward.

Sandy has been a professional psychic and astrologer since 1979. She holds a B.S. degree from Adelphi University and has teaching certifications in several fields. In addition to teaching, Sandy has worked as a Safety Engineer, and owned her own small book store for many years before retiring to become a full time psychic counselor, writer and teacher. Sandy’s writings include books on Astrology, Kabbala, and Tarot, as well as psychic development.

Internationally-renowned psychic channel Sandy Anastasi has established herself as one of the preeminent teachers of our time. With more than 30 years of experience, Sandy is a leading expert in Psychic Development, Astrology and Tarot.

Guest Occupation: Owner/Instructor of the School of Holistic Massage & Reflexology
Guest Biography:

Owner/Instructor of the School of Holistic Massage & Reflexology and was inducted into the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame on August 8, 2016.

I started in Massage and Reflexology industry at 35 years old. I was a single dad of 2 and worked a 12 hour shift in the printing industry working 4 days on 3 days off. I was burnt out. However, I knew my calling was to help people. I heard about reflexology and felt it was my calling. My wife Star, who is a graphic designer woke up one morning with a very stiff neck and started calling around to find a massage therapist. On her appointment she starting talking to the therapist and it turned out they were a brand new massage school that offered reflexology and massage classes. We really did not have the money for tuition, so she asked if they needed business materials? We were able to barter with her Graphic design skills and my printing skills to pay for the first the 10 week reflexology class. After that class I decided to take the Massage program, and we struck up the same deal. The owner of the school I attended saw leadership skills in me and asked me to teach part time and I loved it! While still working my printing job and teaching, I started my own business: "The Holistic Massage and Reflexology Center at a chiropractic office in Downers Grove. My space was literally the size of a closet. My business really started taking off, but I was not sure how I was going to be able to quit my dead end job. I had developed a very good clientele in a short time. Two of my very dedicated clients, believed in me so much, they became what I refer to as my "angel investors". This start up money enabled me to quit my printing job and start the real work of building my business and getting my name out there.

Anything worth while comes with a lot of hard work. I succesfully bulit my business through networking, pounding the pavement, and doing a lot of "free" massage at local events, high schools, non for profit organizations.

Through this hard work my business grew in leaps and bounds. A while later I wanted to share what I learned with others and it developed into SOHMAR, the School of Holistic Massage and Reflexology. That was over 20 years ago! I do still have a private practice since I love working one on one with my clients, but love teaching too!

Guest Biography:

Sheila Thelen has been a coach at the Figure Skating Club of Bloomington in Minnesota for the past 32 years. However, teaching skating is just part of her busy life dedicated to improving skaters’ training.

Thelen created several products skaters use on and off ice to help their skating techniques. She also hosts numerous seminars and is part of an online coaching staff.

“I’m thrilled to have met Trevor Laak, the founder of iCoachSkating.com, before he founded it,” Thelen said.

After meeting at Grassroots to Champions seminars, Thelen joined his company as a consultant and helps with their online marketing.

“iCoachSkating is truly a revolution in how coaches all over can improve their knowledge and improve their skaters,” Thelen said. “Every problem a coach has ever had, Trevor has a video to fix that problem. It’s fun to see skaters and coaches learning new techniques and skills on iCoachSkating, and it’s fantastic that skaters and coaches can join the website.”

iCoach, however, is just the beginning. She’s also a very successful entrepreneur, creating several products skaters use to improve various elements.

“My first big product I created was the ‘Jump Ease Skating Harness,’” Thelen said. “I learned a lot about business and how to make a company fun.”

Her second product, Champion Cords, taught her to embrace something new at the time: a business website.

“I really learned how to create a website, and to work with patents (USA Patent:  7,214,171), skate shops, seminars, packaging, staff and manufacturing,” Thelen said. “Champion Cords are fantastic for teaching a skater to feel alignment position, muscle memory awareness and technique.”

Thelen since added the Champion Skating Harness and Champion Electric Spinner.

“Both of these products help the skater learn vestibular balance and air position,” Thelen said. “Truly how you train modern day rotation. It’s actually fun to see people installing this gear in their homes. They are also great for seminars. We haul in a harness, install it and train coaches how to use it.”

Her Champion Developmental Seminars keep this busy coach traveling to clubs with many top coaches.

“Each seminar can be custom designed to feature a guest coach,” Thelen said. “We bring in tons of gear and help the coaches develop skaters at all levels. We are absolutely honored to have an amazing staff of coaches to help.”

Thelen even created a fun jewelry piece with her Champion Achievement Charm bracelet. The charms include all the jumps and spins, a perfect and fun way for skaters to keep track of their progression.

“As your skater progresses through the sport, add a charm to the bracelet,” Thelen said.

Thelen will host a booth featuring all her products at the upcoming May PSA and CFSA conferences in Chicago and Moncton NB, Canada. A two day seminar with World Coach Ravi Walia is scheduled for June at the Bloomington FSC.

Her skating harness and electric spinner also recently became part of physical therapy research and development work with autistic children, something Thelen is extremely proud of.

“This work is so important to me,” Thelen said. “Improving children’s, skaters and families’ lives.”
