- As a drummer jazz band leader, I get to pick the musicians I want to play with. First musician for me is always the bass player. A drummer and a bass player must fit like a glove to do these great jazz standards. My good friend John Lamb is a world class bass player who in the 60`s played for years with Duke Ellington. He has played with every major jazz artist and singer from Oscar Peterson, Ella Fitzgerald, Louie Armstrong, Louie Bellson, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Connie Haines, Frank Sinatra and so many more. In his late 80`s, John Lamb has not slowed down. It`s an honor for me as a drummer to be working with a jazz legend like John Lamb. One of the all time great songs that Duke Ellington composed is Satin Doll. I get to do it with John Lamb doing his intro bass solo, Tony Castellano on piano, and Franco Marino on tenor sax. We just listen to each other to do our version of this great jazz standard. I tell a story about John Lamb as my intro about him of the many concerts we have played together. I have learned so much from this great man that will be with me forever. Playing this great jazz music with a part of jazz history like John Lamb is why I love being a band leader.
World class musicians at there best . Perfecto
The best part about being a band leader is knowing how to put together the right musicians to make your band sound as good as possible. Since I have worked with so many outstanding musicians in my career, I know which musicians will be best for the type of jazz music I want to play. John Lamb on bass from the Duke Ellington band, we have played together for over 20 years in so many Big Bands and shows we have done. Just an honor for me to know all of these great jazz musicians who listen to each other to make the music sound so good. Thanks so much Albert for your comment.
