Jazz Drums Electric -- Early 1970s

Welcome to the podcast and thanks for listening. As I prepare a large batch of episodes to drop when the revision of my book Electronic and Experimental Music appears this Fall, I thought why not release a few additional episodes that have nothing to do with the book. I have a fairly large vault of original electronic works and figured that this might be a good time to share a smidgen of it. Each of these works comes from a place of experimentation. Most include vintage recordings as part of their overall texture. Many include original electronic sounds that I’ve composed for this purpose. In this episode, we will hear Jazz Drums Electric—Early 1970s. This was a live drumming session played by my friend John Scarpulla back around 1971. We recorded this in his room in Philadelphia. I then added some shortwave and Moog modular sounds as overdubs. John is a truly stellar jazz drummer and he is still active in multiple bands. A big thank you to John for agreeing to let me post this podcast. Thanks for listening and see you next time.
