RIP Albert Heath (1935 – 2024)
Albert Heath was een Amerikaans drummer, de laatste levende van de gebroeders Heath.
Zoals de meeste Gen X melomanen die opgroeiden met vinyl maar overstapten op CD’s (de muzikale fraude van de eeuw), ontdekte ik meneer Heath op de Soul Jazz Love Strata-East (1994) compilatie.
Op die verzameling staat “Smiling Billy Suite Pt.II” (1975) van het album Marchin’ On (1975) van de Heath Brothers.
RIP Dave Samuels (1948 – 2019)
Dave Samuels was an American percussionist known for his work with the jazz fusion group Spyro Gyra.
His composition “New Math” (1988) was included on Joe Claussell’s compilation Music… A Reason To Celebrate (2001).
He is one of those unsung heroes like Daniel Ponce, another percussionist who died in 2013 but whose death only came to my attention this February.[1]
RIP Hal Blaine (1929 – 2019)
Hal Blaine was an American drummer.
Some of the more notable records he played on include the Ronettes’ single “Be My Baby” (1963) and the Beach Boys’ album Pet Sounds (1966).
Of his solo work, Psychedelic Percussion (1967) [above] is of note.
