Hamid Drake and Michael Zerang are two percussionists who
established themselves as key figures in the Chicago jazz
rebirth of the 1990s. It is doubtful, however, that either
musician would consider himself exclusively a jazz musician, as
evidenced by the variety of instrumentation and musical
structures heard on their duo recording, Ask the Sun. Heard
here are drum sets, numerous hand drums (congas, djimbes, frame
drums, tablas, etc.), gongs, bells, cymbals, and didgeridoos!
Although both players are generally regarded as free jazz or
"out" musicians, all of the tracks, except "The Wisdom
Sisters," have a definite groove, ranging in moods from sacred
to rock. Ask the Sun is a very pleasant listen; it will be a
feast for all fans of percussion and/or either of these
musicians.
