Thanks for the a great video by one of the best big bands of the sixties, The Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Big Band! There are not enough videos of these guys on youtube, but they are slowly growing. If I learn how I may post Manteca from my Dizzy Gillespie DVD with these guys.
the best solo i heard was a battle between ronnie stephenson and kenny clare on an album talkin about drums. on the drum spectacular album. amazing. hear it on drummerworld.
Yeah, I also went down to that shed in South London in 1978 for a drum lesson with this great man. I just asked him to play so I could watch for an hour. SSSSSuperb
Wonderful stuff! I had a drum lesson with the great Kenny Clare (in a shed at the bottom of a garden somewhere in South London). I remember his snare drum being wrinkled like a Yorkshire pudding. He was a lovely man and probably the finest, and most instantly recognisable, drummer this country has ever produced.
Oh man, I love that. Putting a wrinkle in the head to get that sound. I always LOVED that flat, wet sound he got in the studio. Hal Blaine also had that sound over here in the U.S. And for the longest time, I couldn't figure out why I liked the Partridge Family albums so much......until I found out Hal was playing on them, of course.

That snare drum sounds crisp, it doesn't sound like a couple of tension nuts are loose. Did Kenny Clare explain the method of tuning his snare drim?

I believe this tune was on the "Sax No End" album, as The Turk.
The LP cover, which can be seen on Amazon's website, gets my vote for Nicest Ever.....

Tremendous CBBB tune!
A different version of this tune was released on the album, but Benny Bailey's ending solo is fabulous on BOTH versions.
