 E.J.N. - ANDY NARELL
The unique compositional magic conjured by Cuba's piano masters is also conductive to Narell's laid-back, duet adaptation of "Claudia", initially structured as an instrumental bolero by Havana-born pianist Jesús "Chucho" Valdés, former leader of Irakere and prodigal son of batanga king Ramón "Bebo" Valdés.
A native of Santiago, Cuba's second largest city (not to be confused with the Chilean capital), Conte is also featured in "Sea of Stories", a piece previously recorded on the CD Down the Road, when Narell fused an entire steel orchestra with Conte's liturgical Afro-Cuban batá drums.
On the other hand, Narell explores Brazil's musical legacy, with the vital assistance of carioca percussionist Paulinho da Costa, by interpreting a couple of tunes "Segura Ele" and "Lamentos" composed by multi-instrumentalist Alfredo da Rocha Viana Jr.

 Rashied Ali is a progenitor and leading exponent of multidirectional rhythms/
Thus began a musical odyssey whose reverberations are still felt in the music today--Trane probing the outer harmonic limits and changing the melodic language of jazz while Rashied Ali turned the drum kit into a multirhythmic, polytonal propellant, helping fuel Coltrane's flights of free jazz fancy.
The drummer interfaces both rhythmically and melodically with the music, utilizing meter and sound in a unique fashion.
This allows the percussionist to participate in the music in a harmonic sense, coloring both the rhythm and tonality with his personal perception.

 Simon O'Rorke, percussionist
Well, it's because I'm a percussionist, not a drummer!
Where there is a drummer or percussionist in a freely improvising ensemble, his role is really much the same as that of any other musician: to listen to the other players and respond to them with lines that differ from but fit in with what they are playing.
Free improvisers play with an implied "pulse" rather than with a laid-down beat, so the drummer's time-keeping function is not only not required but in general is to be avoided.
