A jazz drummer of 35+ years and collector/historian. I have Spinal Muscle Atrophy & have been in a wheelchair since 1981.
I started the first website dedicated to Gene Krupa in 1997, which now has a Facebook group: Americaâs Ace Drummer Man: Gene Krupa. I also moderate two Buddy Rich groups on Facebook: Buddyâs Lounge & Buddyâs Place.
I also run a Facebook page dedicated to legendary guitarists Tony Mottola & Al Caiola: The Living Guitars of Tony Mottola & Al Caiola. You can find me on Facebook under the screen name âdrumuitarâ
This channel is primarily centered around jazz & big band with an emphasis on drummers, but also includes a mix of my other musical loves: bachelor pad, exotica, and easy listening/mood music of the 1950s-70s, as well as a smattering of instrumental surf rock and vintage Christmas music.
