Listener Reviews & Comments
Steve Smith Jazz Legacy DVD Review Steve Smith has, yet again, given us a wealth of information that will surely send us back to the woodshed for months to come. This double DVD/CD set is a must have for drummers, regardless of their playing level and style of music they are into. If you are a jazz drummer or call yourself a drummer who also plays Jazz, then this DVD is for you, as it analyzes the playing styles of several ground breaking Jazz drummers who have laid down the vocabulary of jazz drumming. If you have analyzed some of these "Giant" drummers yourself, this DVD only reinforces those fundamentals and concepts, along with apt demonstration and application of those concepts by Master Drummer Steve Smith himself. This DVD is also for Jazz musicians, enthusiasts, educators, as well as critics who can get deep insight into the playing styles and analysis of Giant drummers, like Max (Roach), Elvin (Jones), Tony (Williams), Art (Blakey), Philly (Joe Jones) to name a few, all of whom have come up with drumming styles that complement the advancement of the art of Jazz compositions as well as influenced their peer musicians to compose and play differently. Also sitting on the analyst chair is Jazz Drum Guru John Riley, who has authored the Art of Bop drumming, Beyond Bop drumming, and Jazz Drummer's workshop. The performances on this double DVD/CD are stunning, executed with the absolute command and mastery of the instrument. The conversations happening between John and Steve are enlightening in itself. Also shown are clips of some of the Giants playing their signature licks. Steve also goes head to head with himself, trading licks, at the end. You be the Judge! A Giant Drumming Legacy is being passed on to us by a Giant Drumming Legend, Steve Smith!
