Perhaps this is the guy you're thinking of? He has some serious chops...he's been around since the 70's and has worked with several prominent jazz artists. Also listed under Airto Moreira. A pic of the guy is on the All Music Guide at http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=B7d867uq0h0jk. Hope this helps... - --Kay ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

For those of you who are new to the list - Happy Rhodes, Veda Hille, Jill Tracy, Two Loons for Tea and Cyoakha Grace are performing LIVE in Santa Cruz California June 9th 2001. This is an intimate venue with very limited seating. I am going to start contacting radio stations, putting flyers up and making tickets more easily accessible to the more casual 'oh what should we do on June 9th' crowd. If you intend to go to this show, I suggest you buy tickets now, before the public at large is alerted. It will break my heart if I have to turn away any hard core fans. Ticket ordering info is at http://www.ectofest.org/west/tickets.htm.

He had a block of wood on which he pounded out the rhythms with a drum stick (sidestick without the drum). Every now and then he would reach over to a surdo and hit a beat. On the table in front of him he had all kinds of rhythmical toys he would pick up and work into the song. The songs did not need a drum kit, the guy covered the rhythm like a tornado. > > I want to know who that percussionist was, if one can buy the video, and if > there is a CD or record of the event. > > Lyle you're not giving us much to go on with this one. my first guess would be CHANO POZO, the percussionist that is often credited for introducing DIZZY to afro-cuban rhythms. i might be wrong though. he often played the congas not a block of wood (was it a Cajn? that's a wooden box that is often substituted for the drums). you might want to do a search on AandE.com and see if anything comes up for DIZZY GILLESPIE. or ask someone on a jazz/afrocuban newsgroup. i'm not really up on my jazz or afrocuban music, (closest i come to it is latin diva CELIA CRUZ). good luck. irvin ps. i never got into the PATTI ROTHBERG CD that much but i thought she had potential. that album was released during the post ALANIS period, when women with guitars were being signed left and right. her, TRACY BONHAM, JEN TRYNIN, MELISSA BROOKS, LEAH ANDREONE all released albums that had minor (or occasionally major) hits, but then faded into obscurity. nice to know that she's still around and putting stuff out. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 May 2001 22:42:14 EDT From: Dracovixen@aol.com Subject: Re: tribute albums There's a lot of tribute albums for living musicians. I think it's nice, because then the musician at least gets to hear the covers, and see how much they are appreciated. Smashing Pumpkins, NIN, David Bowie...they all also have tribute albums from Cleopatra...

I've got a bunch of songs... (Just kidding... though I found myself wondering a few hours ago what one of my songs would sound like in Cyoakha's hands...)

He's like that -- Sarcasm Boy. He knows what her last name is. I'll believe that Kate is working on a new album when I have it in my CD player and I'm listening to the last track, and not one second before... ======================================= Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille ======================================= Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://www.smoe.org/meth/muzak.html ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V7 #127 **************************
