An accomplished & well respected L.A. musician, Laurence performed guitar on songs in Ishtar's soundtrack. And, to kick start our exclusive interviews, he graciously agreed to allow us to reproduce a short interview about those songs.
ISHTAR THE MOVIE.COM: What exactly was your involvement with any Ishtar recordings?
LAURENCE JUBER: I played on the songs that Paul Williams wrote & recorded - the 'Uber' Ishtar album. I think the intention was to actually make & release the album with Lyle & Chuck singing. It's likely that one or two of our tracks ended up in the movie.
ITM.COM: What studios did you work in?
LJ: Oceanway/Western on Sunset in Hollywood
ITM.COM: What other players were involved?
LJ: Drums - Jim Keltner
Bass - Abe Laboriel
Guitar - Waddy Wachtel + myself
Keyboards - Kevin Savigar + another guy whose name I don't recall
Producer - Michael James Jackson
ITM.COM: What type of preparation was presented to you: charts, lyrics, etc. And who presented them?
LJ: Mostly chord charts, some lyrics.
ITM.COM: How long & what dates did your work take place in?
LJ: Maybe 3 or 4 days in the studio. It was over 20 years ago, so the actual dates are vague.
ITM.COM: Do you have any particular memories of the sessions you'd like to share with Ishtar fans & other players?
LJ: I remember the songs being very funny & the studio band working well together. Paul is always cool to work with.
