mechanical licensing, hiring an engineer, mixing, mastering and a host of other important info. A couple weeks later I went by my dads house and I told him that we were going to record a CD in two weeks and that I needed him to practice. He knew from the look on my face that I was serious and that was the start of my career as a producer. That CD was entitled: “Scenes From Miami Vol. 1 “The Softer Side” It was a CD of jazz ballads and it is still one of my favorites cd’s. My next CD as a producer was the “Traveling Man.” This CD told the story of a man who has traveled all over the world playing music. Every song played a significant role during his journey as a musician. My father also wanted to introduce to the world the young jazz prodigy Patrick Bartley. It was his way of passing the torch. Melton Mustafa, Produced by Rebecca Butterfly Vaughn This CD was also life changing because it’s when the family found out that dad had Stage IV Cancer. I cried during the session because my dad could barely play his trumpet. He was in tremendous pain, but I am so glad we got a chance to finish this incredible CD. 2017 – New Vision Sax Ensemble, Musical Journey Through Time (Zaki, Publishing, Inc.) Produced by Melton R.
