This collection of eight solos aims to capture the styles and vocabulary of 10 masters of jazz drumming, and present that material in an accessible way. Much of the music available for drum set solos is difficult and geared towards those with a good amount of experience. These solos can be played by students as early as their first year of study on the drumset. It will give them exposure to material grounded in the jazz tradition, while hopefully remaining playable and generating interest and inspiration to forge deeper into the jazz drumming tradition.
The eight solos are:
NASHTY is inspired by Lewis Nash, and his intro on Say Hello to Calypso from a Jim Hall record called Grand Slam.
ILADELPH is inspired by the classic vocabulary of Philly Joe Jones.
CHILD'S PLAY brings to mind the carefree playing of both Paul Motian and Jorge Rossy.
BREAKTHROUGH is inspired by the masterful vocabulary of Billy Higgins, particularly on Hank Mobley's The Break Through.
THE TWISTED BARON tries to capture the vamp-oriented solos and sonic variety of Joey Baron.
SOME TASTY STEW comes from the worlds of both Bill Stewart and Nasheet Waits, particularly Nasheet's intro on Kinda Dukish with Jason Moran.
THANK YOU MATT WILSON! is based on the melodic soloing of Matt Wilson, specifically on his own tune, Thank You Billy Higgins!.
BLAKEY’S TRY is inspired by the ferocious drumming of the great Art Blakey.
