Boyd Jarvis by Boyd Jarvis


In the beginning


I was always enthusiastic about synthesizers an have looked up to musicians such as Herbie Hancock, Chic Corea, George Duke, Tomita, who I consider my mentors. In 1981 I bought my first synthesizer which was a Yamaha CS-15 which is equipped with two oscillators, two envelope generators a white noise source. I did everything with this one machine for a long time until I could afford more synths. I used to carry my synth to Brownsville Brooklyn to Tony Humphries house to overdub mixes.
I used to carry it in a US canvas postal bag. I first took my synthesizer to a club that I used to work at called Melons where I used to decorate. The DJ was Derrick Davidson the crowd was blown away. That is where I met Timmy Regisford who heard me play. He told me that he had an audition for WBLS radio, and he would like me to overdub the set, so I complied and that was basically where my music career began. Out of hooking up one of the first original tracks that I created for the radio show was "One love" instrumental and then "The Music Got Me" instrumental which was known as "Stomp", which eventually became The Music Got Me. After the instrumental to those two cuts were made and we got so much of a good response from the audience we decided to take the tracks down to a club called Better Days. We play One love the dance floor was empty and when the track came on the crowd stormed the dance floor and that was a sign that we had something happening. So we proceeded to Prelude Records and played the tracks for Marvin Schlachter and told him of the responses that we were getting from the radio audience he was game and gave me my first record contract. Because of the radio show and those tracks Timmy and I began to get a lot of remix work as Partners. I was one of the first guys to discover and expose Colonel Abrams, Tammy Lucas of Hey Boy, Bille of Nobody's Business. A lot of these tracks were created in Timmy's bedroom as well as the mix shows for the radio sets Timmy had the technics reel to reel and a couple of technics turn tables along with a bosac mixer . I will never forget how excited we were when we finished a show. How we used to stay up after leaving the Garage and do the shows then wait to here them either Sunday afternoon or Friday and Saturday nights, Great memories and moments in time. Not actually realizing that we were making history.

Boyd Jarvis mixed the first release by Phase II records. The A-side is a new version of Footstompin' Music, the B-side is a down tempo, dim -the-lights kinda track by the title 'I Remember'.
Boyd Jarvis worked a couple of times with Timmy Regisford" They are responsible for the production of Visual's 'Somehow, Someway' and, 'The Music Got Me', both 1983 recordings on Prelude records
In 1986 they cooperated again on RY-011 Tammy Lucas' 'Hey Boy' on
