Footnotes to Jazz, Vol. 1: Talking and Drum Solos

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Part oral history and part instrumental demonstration, this unique recording features one of early New Orleans jazz's most prominent percussionists explaining his craft. Through spoken anecdotes and unaccompanied drum solos, the artist breaks down the rhythmic evolution from military marching styles to syncopated jazz patterns. It provides an invaluable educational resource directly from a pioneer of the drum kit.
