Listen how hard these brothers are swinging! Ben Newsome colors "MOANIN" but these Cats aren't MOANIN, they're FLOATING and moving effortlessly. After the HEAD, DR. RON PETRIDES takes over and slides through dozens of highly emotional colors as Master Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith and Lew Scott hold down the groove and interact with Ron, continuously adding more and more dimension to the already highly expressive lines of MASTER RON PETRIDES. The Doctor is one of the FINEST guitarists in the world and needs to be noticed more along with Ben Newsome and Lew Scott. Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith continues these MASTER SESSIONS for the purpose of exposing his students to players like these MASTERS every week at his personal recording facility on Talmadge Street in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Players and listeners come from all over, traveling to be around this genius musical giant who also MIXES and ENGINEERS his own videos of every performance. He now has well over 1,000 of these, FAR MORE THAN ANYONE I EVER HEARD OF. In the first song, you can hear Marvin's UNIQUE DRUM SOLO and HIGHLY COLORFUL PLAYING. It's no wonder why he was written up in February 2011 ISSUE OF MODERN DRUMMER MAGAZINE. This Series 104 continues the MASTER SESSIONS OF The Truth Be Told Better Than Hollywood.

This Series 104 continues the MASTER SESSIONS OF The Truth Be Told Better Than Hollywood.THE SECOND SONG starts out with an EXPLOSIVE DRUM SOLO BY MARVIN and shattering harmonic tones of beauty by young master Newsome, one of the greatest of the up and coming Tenor Players in their 20's. Yeah, simply sit back and ENJOY THE PASSION OF JAZZ and JAZZ DRUM TEACHING AT IT'S BEST. Keep a sharp ear and eye out for both Dr. Ron Petrides and Ben Newsome. Both of these players deserve much more recognition than ever before as they are so intense and so spiritually deep in their playing approaches. Thanks to Master Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith for introducing these guys to the world along with Jan Jurgielewicz and Andrew Greeney, two of Marvin's top students and we certainly thank Marvin for helping develop the Italian Master, Piero Borri who recently did an International Drum Workshop with Marvin several weeks ago. It was documented on vimeo.com/bugalusmith along with all the other teaching sessions and performances.
Listen carefully to the Latin Groove laid down by Lew Scott and Marvin. The entire session is A WINNER because it tells TRUTH with NOTHING HIDDEN. Newsome's solo work on the Latin Tune is simply AMAZING. Ron Petrides solos are always surprising and Marvin is THE MASTER OF FLOW. Lew Scott is such a sensitive and grooving bass player. It's all hear for the listening. Let your ears receive the beauty!
LOVE ALWAYS and ALWAYS LOVE,
