I’m back in the jazz project saddle after a month’s absence (Arizona vacation, online project, video editing) and found some recently-added clips of the musicians. It eats up so much time searching through but there’s great music being added every day, and it helps my project tremendously to be able to include a few moments of them.
This one has Lee “impersonating” Herb Alpert and features an amazing drum solo/comedy performance by drummer Frank DeVito. Lee is edgy in it, to say the least, and has a great reaction when the drummer forgets to come in. Along the YouTube related links column on the side you’ll see other recently-added Baja Marimba appearances and a short documentary. The fan who added some of them is a 29-year-old jazz drummer from Long Island (sort of in Lee’s neck of the woods). I should encourage Lee to drop by one of his performances.
