Percussion Days: Jerry Leake: Primacy of the Groove
In this performance of African and Indian-derived percussion solos, Jerry Leake traces the origins of musical time, groove, and mathematics, and features drum languages and songs woven into a unique array of traditional instruments. Drawing from more than 30 years of experience, Leake demonstrates the transformative power of language to achieve high levels of limb independence and orchestration, expand potent grooves into large cycles of time, and explore the dynamic concept of phrase rotation.
