      That must be interesting to read. To probe the conditions that produced such a masterpiece that was so anomalous for its time but so appropriate for what came after.

      Think it, be it.

        Thanks to @SKT by way of @Jett129 and apologies to @GraemeE For how long it's taking me to read (the author cites a ton of music and I've been listening as I go), but this is a fascinating book that makes me appreciate the blues, r&b, and rock & roll drumming of the 50s and 60s more. I've always been snobbier and less appeeciative about that stuff than I should have been because it's propagated so widely and you miss some of the contemporary novelty and seems so simple compared to jazz and other drumming that has grabbed my attention more.

        In fact the same apples to Charlie Watts and for that matter Ringo. I'm forming a new appreciation for all of them instead of just thinking about players like Tony Williams and John Bonham.

          @mclaincausey Really glad to hear that you’re enjoying it and,that the book will continue to be passed along. A couple of years ago this guy came up to me at the gym and says…You played drums you should read this. I thanked him and when I was finished I asked him if he wanted it back, he said no,if you know someone else who would like it pass it along.

                @GraemeE i saw this at Powells and was tempted to pick it up but I might just give it a listen on Libby. You're enjoying it?

                  @Inorganic i read it a few years ago and just revisited the audio book a few weeks ago

                  I really enjoyed it although it's not particularly uplifting

                  I'm actually trading @mclaincausey for the charlie watts book he is reading so might as well put this in rotation after he is done with it

                    @GraemeE and I’ll send that one back to you or elsewhere per your request. I have some books I’ll offer up here as well for sharing. It’s the IH Library 🤣

                                    Ditto. Have you read “Beneath the Underdog,” Mingus’ autobiography?

                                        Re-reading (actually audio-book now) the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.
                                        These were written in the 90's and the plot is set to begin in the 2020's. Some hilarious projections of 1990's technology got me though. For example: they are still sending Fax on Mars in the future, and have video rental stores in Martian cities 🙂
