LITTLE DRUMMER BOY...Ginger Baker


     Ginger first came to prominence playing R&B with Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated and the Graham Bond Organisation, but it was with Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton (alongside Baker, considered the ‘cream’ of musicians at the time) that he experienced his greatest success and popular acclaim.  
     In 1968, Cream released their third and final album Wheels Of Fire. Baker and Clapton went on to form Blind Faith, then Ginger turned his talents to a huge range of projects. His abiding love for jazz and African drumming led Ginger to record with Afro-beat king Fela Kuti and fusion guitarist Bill Frisell.
     'Sunshine Of Your Love’, from 1967’s Disraeli Gears, is one of Cream’s most popular hits and is a perfect example of Ginger Baker’s unique drumming with its tribal verse groove and ‘backwards’ feel, as well as the wide-ranging fill ideas.
     Ginger’s sparing use of crashes helps emphasise the tribal pattern while his snare on ‘1’ and ‘3’ gives a heavy downbeat and creates an interesting reversed feel. During the chorus, repeating two-bar phrases leave Ginger plenty of space to show his ideas and feature a mixture of subdivisions, flams and double-stops.

GUITAR WOLF...Joe Perry

Слика
        It’s hard to conceive a better musical foil for Steven Tyler than his longtime partner and occasional adversary. For more than 40 years, Joe Perry’s monstrous, blues-on-steroids riffs have been  Aerosmith ‘s bedrock. And his solos, jutting out from “Walk This Way” or slashing boldly through the high-gloss production of later hits like “Janie’s Got a Gun” and “Cryin’,” have a caffeinated energy that’s every bit Tyler’s match.

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY...Matt Cameron

Слика
        More than any other drummer, Matt Cameron laid the rhythmic foundation for the Nineties rock revolution, reconciling proggy technicality with overwhelming force. He aptly characterized his rotary-blade rhythms on the 1991 Soundgarden track "Jesus Christ Pose" as "a pure assault of the senses," but that efficient brutality wasn't necessarily characteristic of Cameron's work with the band – his drumming on  Superunknown  is as thoughtful as it is heavy, from the fluid asymmetry of "Spoonman" to the unshakeable backbeat of "Fell on Black Days." Twenty years after its release, Dave Grohl was  still raving , "Nobody played drums like Matt." When Soundgarden suddenly disbanded in 1997, Cameron wasn't out of work for long: Pearl Jam invited him on tour the following year.  SOUNDGARDEN  Badmotorfinger A&M,1991 https://www.sendspace.com/file/uaniyr

ONCE UPON A TIME...One Niter

Слика
  EELA CRAIG  One Niter  (Vertigo,1976) - Prog/Symphonic rock       The album "One Niter" is the peak of Bognemayr and K.'s artistic quest. Hubert's philharmonic ambitions found a way out in the use of a gigantic keyboard arsenal. Majestic Mellotron fanfares, chorales and a string of harpsichord arpeggios greet the listener at the threshold of the 14-minute "Circles" suite. Cosmic synth landscapes shimmer in a radiant flute scale. And then the bravura leitmotif is either played out in a full-fledged rock key with an incredibly rhythmic funk addition, or hidden behind a light fairy-tale pastoral, saturated with the leader’s touching vocals. Needless to say, the imagination of the band members literally flows here, sometimes taking on rather bizarre silhouettes. According to similar canons, an ecstatic hymn is melted into a powerful fusion structure (“Loner’s Rhyme”): hard rock marries with jazz; Encouraged by  Raoul Barnett's  congas,  "Hammond"
