Their recordings of the next few years would decline in interest until the band gradually faded away in the '80s. However this particular set is well worth picking up for the 11-minute title cut and there is good playing by the three original members (Wilton Felder on tenor, soprano and electric bass, keyboardist Joe Sample and drummer Stix Hooper) along with guitarist Barry Finnerty; horn and string sections, plus additional guitarists are utilized on Sample's commercial but listenable arrangements. ---Scott Yanow, AllMusic Review By 1979, Crusaders were a well established jazz fusion crossover act with leader Joe Sample providing keyboards, Wilton Felder saxophone, and “Stix Hooper” drums and percussion. Whilst viewing some chaotic scenes at the beginners slope at the Mammoth Mountain California resort, Sample came up with the idea for a song titled “Street Life” which reflected his love for the hubbub of the city.

  • History of the Drum Set
    History of the Drum Set The drum set is as American as baseball, hotdogs, and apple pie. The instrument as it currently exists has seen a great deal of evolution and development. From its infancy at the start of the 20 th century to the innovations that are currently taking place, it has developed into the most visible and widely used instruments in the percussion family. Late 1800’s Brass bands were the most common type of instrumental ensemble in the United States in the later half of the 19 th century. Every town in America had bandstands were concerts were held and perhaps the reason for their existence can be attributed in part to the Civil War. Every military unit had its own squad of musicians, usually formed according to locality. Occasionally some bands stayed together after the war, while others disbanded. Each brass band consisted of two or more drummers that played snare, bass, and cymbals. In addition to marching parade commitments, these bands sometimes moved “indoors” entertaining patrons in concert providing music for occasions such as picnics and town socials. When these groups moved inside, the standard instrumentation was cut down somewhat for practical reasons. Because of this, the need for two or more drummers decreased and resourceful inventions began to flourish. The concept of one drummer playing two or more rhythms was made possible through the creation of the snare drum stand and bass drum pedal. Before the snare stand, drummers would hang the drum from their shoulder with a strap or sling, or position the drum on a chair.

The legendary jazz critic Nat Hentoff wrote, for example: »Sonny has been one of the wholly involved players, well known and admired for his catalogue # soul and the earthiness of his message only by musicians who feel and play like he does 1395 and by that part of the jazz audience that is most moved by naked, open emotion.

  • Buddy Rich Ex- to the Art
    BUDDY RICH MEMORIAL CONCERT MANHATTAN CENTER FOR THE ARTS/HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM E V E N T PROGRAM O C T O BE R 18, 2008 Buddy_Program.indd 1 10/10/08 4:59:23 PM BUDDY RICH Arguably the greatest jazz drummer of all time, the legendary Buddy Rich ex- hibited his love for music through his life-long dedication to the art. His was a career that spanned seven decades, beginning when he was just 18 months old, and continuing until his death in 1987. Immensely gifted, Rich could play with remarkable speed and dexterity despite his never having received a formal lesson and refusing to practice outside of his performances. Born Bernard Rich to vaudevillians Robert and Bess Rich on September 30, 1917, the famed drummer was introduced to audiences at a very young age. By 1921, he was a seasoned solo performer with his vaudeville act, “Traps The Drum Wonder.” With his natural sense of rhythm, Rich was per- forming regularly on Broadway by the age of four. At the peak of Rich’s early career, he was the second-highest paid child entertainer in the world. “Rich’s technique has been one of the most standardized and coveted in drumming. His dexterity, speed, and smooth execution are considered holy grails of drum tech- nique. While Rich typically held his sticks using ‘traditional grip’ (left thump facing up), he was also a skilled ‘match grip’ player, and was one of few drummers to master the one-handed roll on both hands. Some of his more spectacular moves are crossover riffs, where he would criss-cross his arms from one drum to another, sometimes over the arm, and even under the arm at great speed.” — ExcERPTED FROM WIKIPEDIA Buddy_Program.indd 2 10/10/08 4:59:26 PM Rich’s jazz career began in 1937 when he began playing BUDDY RICH with Joe Marsala at New York’s Hickory House.
