It’s been a busy couple of weeks here, but I’m happy to announce that I have plans to record another podcast interview soon. Hope everyone is having a good start to December.
New Releases From Smoke
Billy Hart – Multidirectional (live from Smoke)
This isn’t from Al’s live record, but it’s a great video that I keep going back to.
Mel Lewis on the History of Jazz Drums
I was reminded about this on the on a recent episode of Drummer Nation where Michael Vosbein and Adam Nussbaum are joined by Kenny Washington and John Riley to talk about Mel Lewis.
This is a 32(!) video playlist of Mel Lewis on Loren Schoenberg’s radio show in 1989, exploring the history of jazz drumming from Baby Dodds to Elvin Jones.
Bill Stewart with John Scofield
I saw this band a few weeks ago in Minneapolis and just found this great video of them from SF Jazz.
Greg Hutchinson with Pablo Held
This is a very nice concert. I spend so much time listening to Pablo’s podcast that it was nice to hear some more of his music. Very impressive player and composer. I’m inspired to dig deeper.
Allan Mednard @ Stephan’s Basement
This series is so cool and Allan is just fantastic.
Philly Joe Brush Solos
Finally, here’s something fun I found the other day. I’m not sure how complete this is, but it’s inspiring to hear all these solos back to back.
