| Silkheart has consistently given drummers pride of place in our CD productions because a band without a good drummer seldom became a good band. We have cultivated many good drummers at Silkheart; Alvin Fielder, Andrew Cyrille, Denis Charles, Reggie Nicholson, Marc Edwards, Avreeayl Ra, Michael Wimberly, Susie Ibarra, Kahil El Zabar, among others. The Sirone Bang Ensemble (SHCD155, "Configuration") features the debut of a really dynamic new drummer from New Jersey, Tayshawn Sorey, who at the age of 22 is rapidly making a name for himself. On this session, Tayshawn Sorey inspires the old men in the band to swing like hell - Charles Gayle making his recorded debut on alto sax, the wily Billy Bang on violin and Sirone, the rock of ages on bass. |
