Velez Glenn - Ramana
SKU
MOTW307
Velez is a master percussionist, who specializes in the frame drum (basically a tambourine without the steel jangles). He's one of the greats; in addition to his solo work, he has been a member of Steve Reich's ensemble. I saw him play solo once, and the huge amount of polyrhythms he is able to set up with just his two hands and a simple drum were really mesmerizing. This album features solo pieces as well as fairly lushly overdubbed works. Not just 'drum solos', this is real music, played on percussion instruments.
