By and By (We’ll Understand it Better By and By)We’re still getting inspiration from our interview with Cisco Bradley about his biography of William Parker.
He recommended we check out Robin D.G. Kelley’s classic bio “Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original” which we did. (Great book and someday we hope to interview Kelley.)
Meanwhile, Kelley’s book reminded us of the central role the Church and Church music played – and still plays – in the development of our greatest musicians. Everyone from Louis Armstrong to Ornette Coleman has recounted the formative experiences it had on them.

June 26-27, 2021
Cuban Percussion Super Summit
I can’t possibly overstate what an extraordinary event this is.
If you are familiar with the field, the names of the people involved will tell you everything.
If you’ve been curious about Afro-Cuban music and its rich rhythmic palette, make sure you listen to the interview and please share it with percussionist/drummer friends and other musicians.
People who miss this are going to be crying later.
Nothing like this has ever been done before and it’s possible it will never be offered in this form again.
It is the best opportunity I’ve ever seen to dive deeply into Afro-Cuban percussion with giants of the art – and it comes without having to get on a plane.
For decades, master percussionist and educator Aldo Mazza has been visiting and digging profoundly into the Cuban music scene, and once a year he organizes live trainings for musicians who can make the trip to the island.
This year because of the Great Disruption the live training is not possible so Aldo’s organized a virtual version.
Make sure you’re there and again, please share widely.
