    MODERN DRUMMER VOL. 8, NO. 12 Cover Photo by Layne Murdock CONTENTS FEATURES TERRY BOZZIO Although his work with such artists as Frank Zappa, the Brecker Brothers, and UK established Terry Bozzio's reputation as a fine drummer, his work with Missing Persons has revealed that there is more to Bozzio than was demonstrated in those other situations. Here, he talks about the hard work that went into starting his own band, explains his feelings that drummers should be more visible, and details his self-designed electronic drumset. by Rick Mattingly 8 OMAR HAKIM The fact that Weather Report and David Bowie have been sharing the same drummer says a lot about Omar Hakim's versatility, especially when one considers the wide range of styles that each of those situations encompasses. But Hakim's background prepared him well for the many diverse musical settings he has encountered, and he recounts that background in this amiable discussion of his life and career. by Robin Tolleson 14 INSIDE CALATO by Rick Van Horn 18 IAN PAICE The drummer for Deep Purple reminisces about the group's formation, discusses the band's reunion after an eight-year breakup, and describes Deep Purple's effect on today's music. He also talks about his experiences as the drummer for Whitesnake and Gary Moore, and explains the differences in playing with a guitar-oriented versus a vocal-oriented band. by Robyn Flans 22 TRISTAN FRY Modest Virtuoso by Simon Goodwin 26 DRIVER'S SEAT COLUMNS Phrasing With A Big Band PROFILES by Mark Hurley 112 PORTRAITS EDUCATION JAZZ DRUMMERS WORKSHOP Allen Herman New Concepts For Improved by Don Perman 30 THE MUSICAL DRUMMER Performance Chord Changes—Part 2 by Laura Metallo, Ph.D.

Since the event, I have been pondering the thought that the buildings I remember most are the ones where my senses have been engaged. Beautiful buildings. Peculiar buildings. Buildings where there was music, or food or things to learn. Buildings where we carry out the activities of our daily lives, interacting with other people. Even buildings where bad things happened. I have been thinking about that as I think about the future of the historic preservation movement. It opens up new avenues for historic preservation to be connected to a broader audience. What is the building you have the earliest memory of? My earliest memory is the place my great grandmother lived. It was a simple c.1920 brick farmhouse with a Tudor revival flair with its diamond casement windows.

It may seem trite to even address assembly of the instrument, but its been a common flaw not to develop good habits. I've seen broken mouthpieces, bent rods and necks several times from seasoned professionals who should have known better! This is precisely why its important to develop good habits when putting your instrument together. Prior to putting the mouthpiece on the neck, make certain that the cork is lubricated.

  • 2011 Preservation Matters 1 Chinese Cultural and Community Center 125 N
    SPECIAL ISSUE PRESERVATION MATTERS The Newsletter of The Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia Ninth Annual Endangered Properties List John Coltrane House ◆ Chinese Cultural and Community Center ◆ Joe Frazier’s Gym ◆ Kensington Soup Society New Frankford Y ◆ Royal Theater ◆ Spring Garden Post Office Mural ◆ Stiffel Senior Center ◆ Dox Thrash House ach year, the Preservation Alliance highlights important historic places in and around Philadelphia that are threat- ened by development pressures, disuse, or neglect. Often these places are selected for their architectural significance, Ebut historic preservation is about much more than just saving important architecture. Preservation is also about cul- tural conservation and saving the “everyday” buildings that tell extraordinary stories about Philadelphia and its people. Philadelphia’s preservation ordinance recognizes this; buildings can be designated historic solely because they exemplify the cultural or social heritage of the community. For this, our ninth annual Endangered Properties List, we have identified nine places that languish today in relative obscu- rity and are in danger of being lost, but whose histories reflect the richness and diversity of our shared cultural legacy. By high- lighting these places and the challenges they face, we also hope to help inspire a renewed vision for their future and a broader understanding of the purposes of historic preservation. To learn more about these properties and those from past years’ lists, and what you can do to help protect their future, visit our website at www.PreservationAlliance.com/Endangered. John Coltrane House 1511 N. 33rd Street, Philadelphia SIGNIFICANCE One of the most influential musicians in American his- tory, saxophonist John Coltrane called Philadelphia home during the most formative and transformational period of his career.
