This short interview is a masterclass in drum technique and improvisation from a unique drummer. In 1998 I wrote and hosted a music series INSIDE IMPROVISATION for BBC Radio 2.
I interviewed Grammy winning drummer Danny Gottlieb (the original @PatMethenyOfficial Group, Gary Burton, Mahavishnu/John McLaughlin, Blues Brothers, Randy Brecker, Stan Getz, Eliane Elias, Gary Sinese).
This short interview is followed by a bit of a track from my 1988 album, Santa Rita. “The Seduction of Art” ©1998Niles Smiles Music (BMI) features Danny on drums with the great Mark Egan on Bass, (Danny’s partner in their group Elements), Chris Hunter (alto sax), Steve Hamilton (keys) and Richard Niles (guitar).
