Andrew Bemkey and Newman Taylor Baker: Duets
Bass Clarinet, Piano and Drum Set
$10 admission
Drum-Suite-Life is the initial CD of Newman Taylor Baker’s project, Singin’ Drums; the result of a life-long desire to have the drum set accepted as a solo instrument, and using it to honor the U. S. African culture where the drum set developed. For Baker, the drum set represents the strength, intelligence, creativity, power, endurance, and love found in
U. S. African culture. He writes, “The drum set has a story to tell. We present Singin’ Drums in a variety of settings to share our story.”
Drum-Suite-Life is part of innova’s NEA-supported “NYFA Series” celebrating the work of composers who have won the New York Foundation for the Arts Music Composition Fellowships. http://ntbsingindrums.blogspot.com/
