E. Doctor SmithÆs original invention, the Drummstick, has a vertical design
that enhances his ability to digitally tap, slap, flam, and roll. This CD
showcases the versatility of his instrument and presents truly inspired
left-the-box-way-behind music that smacks you up one side of your head while
caressing you down the other.
For the DrummstickÆs 10th anniversary, Doc reassembled many of the musicians
from the DrummstickÆs debut release in 2000, as well as some great new ones.
Rejoining Doc for Drummstick 2 are bassist and co-producer Celia DuBose;
Jack Wright with his array of electric guitars and loops; Neil Mezebish on
acoustic and MIDI saxes; trumpeter and Feat of Clay co-founder the ôMad
Swede,ö aka Eric Dahlman; and his long-time collaborator and K2 co-founder
Seth ôElgieö Elgart on assorted iBooks, vintage synthesizers, keyboards and
samples.
Also joining Doc is bassist Mike Shea, who recorded with DocÆs latest
ensemble, Robert Anbian and UFQ: The Unidentified Flying Quartet, featuring
poet Robert Anbian, saxophonist Charles Unger, and pianist Sam Peoples.
ôI call the post-fusion, world beat jazz these guys play æacid-bopÆ...ö
-Robert Anbian, Poet
