John F. Williams: Studio Pioneer
Greatness in music is greatness in character. No more fitting epitaph could pay tribute better than this statement on the loss of drumming great Johnny Williams.
Eliot Zigmund
Eliot Zigmund played with Bill Evans Trio, Eon with Richie Beirach, Frank Tusa, Don Friedman, Bob Kindred, Chet Baker, Stan Getz, Lee Konitz, and others.
Professionalism
Being a truly professional drummer involves more than just making all or part of your living playing the drums. It is an attitude that is developed through experience and self-discipline.
Odd-Beat Subdivisions
Almost all styles of music now deviate from normal duple- and triple-beat subdivisions, and use divisions of five, seven, or more.
Stan Levey
Like most other young, searching musicians, Stan Levey became a dedicated disciple of the ideas of Gillespie and Parker.
