Percussion
Duets Billy Martin and G. Calvin Weston This recording is primarily live drum and percussion duets between Billy Martin (Medeski Martin & Wood) and Grant Calvin Weston, formerly with Ornette Coleman's Prime Time Orchestra; the exception being two vignettes with John Medeski on prepared and toy piano, and two drum machine pieces by Billy. The session took place over a two-day period in a vacant film studio and soundstage in Brooklyn, NY where they set up a sort of drummer's playroom, which included two drum sets and a large percussion area. By alternately playing drum sets and percussion instruments, and trading off frequently, they were able to improvise and experiment more with sounds. The result is a richly diverse drum record with links to the past and the future of drumming. 17 tracks in 54+ minutes If you missed out on this cd, you might also enjoy listening to: Vacuums (Matt Weston) Brain Trust (Chopek and Lovejoy) Schlingerland (Sven-Åke Johansson) Nerve Beats (Han Bennink) Scratch Match (Zerang and Strid) From There to Hear (Jerome Cooper) White Boy Blues (Tom Bruno) 12 Arrows (Drake and Rudolph) Ask the Sun (Zerang and Drake) |
