Still hard at work on the new Cymbalistic site, which will be going live any minute now. I'm at the designing-cruise-ship-drummer-themed-merch-while-waiting-for-domain-cot-com-to-let-me-log-in-to-my-account-so-I-can-reset-the-domain-to-take-you-to-shopify phase. That old story.
In the mean time, in honor of Tony Williams's birthday, here's an old favorite record, Believe It, by his fusion group Lifetime. It's one of the first things I bought with him on it, in about the 10th grade. All the older guys knew about the drum solo on this tune, Snake Oil. It's a different kind of drumming from what fusion developed into.
It's a funny tune— it reminds me of the first things I tried to write, that were very chunky— a series of episodes.
