Jazz Bastard Podcast 241 - Give the Drummer Less
from Jazz Bastard Podcast · host Michael Caldwell
Drummers are the under-sung heroes of the jazz world. At their best, they lift up and enhance whatever the so-called front-liners are up to while being ready to step up and say their piece when called upon. But every now and then things get a bit . . . sticky. This episode explores four recordings where to varying degrees the drummer goes a little wild and oddity results. Charlie Parker - BIRD & DIZ; Dexter Gordon – ONE FLIGHT UP; Mostly Other People Do the Killing – DISASTERS VOLUME 1; Slide Hampton – MELLOW DY.
