Drum!’s Jam Cruise Video

March 18, 2008 in Events, Interviews, News by Dave Kropf

Yesterday, we reported that you could catch a slideshow of Drum! Magazine’s coverage of the Jam Cruise 6. They’ve now updated their site with accompanying videos!

Jam Cruise (featured in DRUM!’s April, 2008 issue) follows the lives of a half-dozen drummers on the annual jam cruise. DRUM! Associate Editor also found time for video interviews with several top players on the cruise, taking time from his sunbathing duties to meet with Galactic’s Stanton Moore (stantonmoore.com), New Orleans legend Russell Batiste (russellbatiste.com), Rob Koritz and Dino English of Dark Star Orchestra (darkstarorchestra.net), Dave Watts of Motet fame (themotet.net), and Alan Evans of Soulive (soulive.com).

So far, it’s just Stanton Moore’s interview, but more are on the way.  Check out the video here …

In this package you get; Ragtime and Beyond: Evolution of a Style, with Herlin Riley. Street Beats: Modern Applications, with Johnny Vidacovich. From R&B to Funk, with Earl Palmer & Herman Ernest, to round things out. Read the rest of this entry →

Intense. Intense. Intense. Add to this passion, dedication, encyclopedic historical references, a strong sense of professionalism and discipline, a genuine generosity of spirit, and a down-to-earth Nuyorican attitude and vocabulary and you have pretty much described multi-Grammy-nominated “Drummer of the Year” composer, arranger, producer and educator Bobby Sanabria.
