I wish could go to New York, New York this weekend. Neil Peart, drummer for the band Rush, has put together another Buddy Rich tribute concert which will feature an assortment of drummers and The Buddy Rich Big Band… but I read that the concert will be recorded for DVD release, so I guess that will have to do! Peart produced a recordings with a number of famous drummers joining the Buddy Rich Big Band several years ago. They’re great explorations considering that not all the drummers in the project are jazz drummers.
In other music news, it is rumored that a release date for Guns ‘n Roses long awaited (13 years) album has been given to Billboard. The Dr. Pepper company said earlier this year that if the album would actually come out this year they would give everyone in America a Dr. Pepper. Maybe Axl Rose likes Dr. Pepper…
Midterms this week and fall break next week!!!
