  • Gregg Potter
    Gregg Potter Emmy-Award winning drummer Gregg Potter is the drummer with the new Buddy Rich Band, a 16- piece big band of Buddy alumni who played with Buddy Rich himself! Gregg fronted The BR Band throughout the Buddy Rich Centennial Celebration Year 2017-2018 World Tour. The tour included a crisscrossing of the United States as well as a barnstorming of Europe. The European stint included a sold out week of shows at the prestigious Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, where Buddy recorded several albums and solidified his drumming mastery abroad! Gregg was most recently featured in the August 2018 issue of Drumhead Magazine, the number one drum magazine in circulation. He was also featured in the December 2012 special commemorative Buddy Rich issue of Modern Drummer Magazine and the Drumhead Magazine 2017 legend’s issue. In 2016, Hal Leonard Publishing released a first-ever Buddy Rich Play Along CD/book package featuring Gregg's drumming along with the Buddy Rich Alumni Band. Gregg will front the legendary band in 2019 as they again headline shows around the world. Gregg began his professional career after winning the Slingerland/Louie Bellson National Drum Contest at the legendary Frank’s Drum Shop in Chicago. As a high school student he was presented with the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award along with several other jazz soloist individual awards. While still a teenager, he landed the drumming spot with Radio Hall of Fame icon Steve Dahl. Along with Dahl and his band Teenage Radiation, Gregg scored two hit singles, performed on Dahl’s daily radio show, syndicated national shows, Emmy-Award winning television specials, feature film soundtracks, daily morning television shows and live concert appearances.

  • Been to Previous Sounds, with Top-Heavy Managerial Teams
    395 of 522 been to previous sounds, with top-heavy managerial teams plotting their strategies around potentially lucrative stars and the till-friendly album format in order to create profitable order where there had once been chaos. DJ rations were slashed by record companies when radio belatedly revised its playlist priorities—the fact that disco sounded far better in a club than on the radio was deemed to be unimportant—and disco de- partments subsequently paid less and less attention to the quality of their output, in part because they believed that anything would sell in the post– Saturday Night Fever market. The wider economy, though, was tighten- ing, and audience tastes were diversifying, which suggested that record companies needed to pay more attention to localized, flexible, grassroots sales. Unfortunately, the majors weren’t yet ready to adjust. ‘‘It became 6932 Lawrence / LOVE SAVES THE DAY / sheet ridiculous,’’ says Coles, who returned to his old job behind the counter at Colony. ‘‘They were disco-tizing all these crazy things. It had to end.’’ *** When Chicago rock station WDAI-FMoffered Detroit DJSteve Dahl a job in 1978, he jumped at the opportunity. The honeymoon, however, was brief. A couple of days before Christmas, the station dropped its AOR (album- oriented rock) format in favor of disco, and the new recruit decided that his position was untenable. ‘‘I quit because disco really didn’t fit the kind of show that I was doing,’’ he says. ‘‘I was doing mostly talk, and it was pretty much tailored to my own lifestyle, which didn’t really have many intersecting points with the disco thing.’’ Dahl resurfaced in March on WLUP-FMand started to attack the dance phenomenon as if it were freshly laid concrete—easiest to remove before it set hard.

  • Disco Demolition Photo Exhibit at Elmhurst Museum
    Disco Demolition photo exhibit at Elmhurst museum By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, July 19, 2013 Disco’s dead. Disco Demolition Night never dies. The most-publicized Bill Veeck promo- tion of all time – and the one that most riotously got away from the Baseball Barnum – is celebrated through Aug. 4 at the Elmhurst Historical Museum, 120 E. Park Ave., Elmhurst. The 1979 event featuring DJ Steve Dahl as ringmaster attracted some 70,000 fans to witness the destruction of thousands of disco records between games of a twinight doubleheader be- tween the White Sox and Detroit Ti- Sox pitcher Ross Baumgarten (left) with Steve Dahl muse Lorelei and another Disco Demolition Night par- gers at old Comiskey Park. Noted rock ticipant. Copyright Paul Natkin - Photo Reserve. photographer Paul Natkin was there as the official shooter of Dahl’s brain- storm party. His work that night, which provokes howls to this day, is part of his overall exhibit, “Shutter to Think: The Rock and Roll Lens of Paul Natkin,” on two floors of the museum, just east of downtown Elmhurst. The Disco Demolition photos, all in black and white, are actually shown in a video re- played continuously on a flat-screen TV on the second floor. The presentation came about, naturally, through a connection with Dahl, who produces his own daily podcast after his decades-long career as a shock jock on Chicago radio ebbed. “The Disco Demolition special exhibit segment to ‘Shutter to Think’ exhibit was put to- gether as an idea when Steve Dahl came through the main exhibit,” said Lance Tawzer, curator of the museum.
