Duke Ellington & His Orchestra - Kinda Dukish

[SAHBfan]

Sam Woodyard was one of Ginger Baker's hero's. He credit's his decision to play double bass drums as well as several of his well known chops to Sam. In that sense Sam Woodyard was indirectly influential to a lot more drummers than they probably realise.

I think he re-emerged later in life as a conga player for Buddy Rich?

Sam Woodyard...like Carl Palmer, John Bonham and Ian Paice all wrapped up in one mega jazz combo!

of course there aren't any dislikes

Sam Woodyard was a master--one of the heroes of the '60s band. What technique! And what a tragedy his career was cut short by substance abuse. Thanks to the ones with foresight enough to capture these golden moments on film!
