286. Max Weinberg on Maxwell Davis and his All Stars 'Persistent Percussion' (1960)
This week I chat to the king of late night TV and rock n' roll legend Max Weinberg about 'Persistent Percussion' by Maxwell Davis and his All Stars (1960). Max explains how the pop exotica album taught him to take an all rounded approach to drumming, how it encouraged him to learn about the history of drumming in popular music, mono vs stereo and what it's like to hear others reinterpret his own drum parts.
Max tells me about his friendship with Irv Cottler, meeting Frank Sinatra and the successful career of his son Jay.
