John French “Drumbo” 💫

 

Better than owning /using a drum-machine and worth a life of improvisations on it 💫🎼💫🥇💫🎼

Japanese disk, only 🥇 produced by Henry Kaiser and John Zorn 💫

Mr. French plays the music of Capt. Beefheart on his drums… let’s not forget that, also if he wasn’t quoted in “Trout Mask Replica” due to a dispute with the Captain, himself, he was - nonetheless - widely acknowledged as the maven who translated into reality the sketches and weird verbal instructions into music notation: not an easy task if you were - reportedly - starving on a peanut-butter diet for months.

The vendicative Don Van Vliet simply cancelled John French from TMR’s credits (and related copyright and royalties).
