Hudson Music Steve Smith Drum Legacy D1 DVDR-SPiRiT

Studying the drum giants who came before is one of the keys to
developing an understanding of music and finding your own voice on
the drums. This highly educational DVD set presents a musical analysis
and discussion of some of the most important jazz drumming greats in
history. On Drum Legacy you will find the complete one-hour performance
by Steve Smith's group Jazz Legacy from the 2006 Modern Drummer
Festival, including two previously unreleased songs.
The group's music is inspired by jazz drumming giants Art Blakey
(A Night in Tunisia), Elvin Jones (Three Card Molly), Philly Joe Jones
(Two Bass Hit), Buddy Rich (Moments Notice), Joe Dukes (Soulful Drums),
and Tony Williams (Sister Cheryl). Each tune is dedicated to one of
these drum legends.

Also included are two brilliant drum solos by Steve in tribute to
Max Roach (Drums Unlimited and For Big Sid), plus two new original solos.
John Riley - master jazz drummer, educator, and author - joins Steve for
an insightful discussion of the work of these jazz greats that is
unprecedented in its scope and detail. Steve and John present a wealth
of information for drummers from a historical/artistic analysis of each
jazz giant's conceptual approach, right down to the nuts and bolts of
the licks they played.
