Norman Landsberg

Though trained as a classical pianist, Norman Landsberg was able to draw upon the cultural diversity of his native New York City to develop a familiarity with a wide range of musical tastes and styles. His professional career started as one of the founding members of the rock group Mountain. This led to his forming the group Hammer, a group featured on Bill Graham’s newly formed label, San Francisco Records. After moving to the San Francisco bay area, he gained recognition as vocal arranger and musical director for the Pointer Sisters, touring extensively and making numerous television appearances with them. He went on to work with a variety of artists including former Tower of Power lead singer, Lenny Williams. When he's not performing on the road with Yount, Norman stays active in the recording industry as a sought-after independent producer, and along with his wife, keyboardist Socorro de Castro, runs Landsberg Music Productions.
