Series @107 Master Sessions of Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith DUO With Ben Newsome


Series 107, is THE PERFECT DUO, an example of DIRECT, PURE COMMUNICATION WITH NO INTERFERENCE FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES. Ben Newsome is a beautiful player and has developed strong listening skills. Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith is a MASTER LISTENER and the two of these players together sound like an entire orchestra. Just listen to the FLOW OF IDEAS HERE! There is little time for thinking as the conversation is up to the MOMENT and is CONSTANTLY IN MOTION. This session is a great learning tool for students to observe how important it is to listen to each other and BLEND IDEAS to create colorful sound vibration. THE SPIRIT IS STRONG IN THE CENTER OF THIS MUSIC. I believe that Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith brings out THE BEST TRAITS IN EVERY MUSICIAN THAT PERFORMS WITH HIM. HE HAS AN UNCANNY ABILITY TO MOTIVATE PLAYERS TO REACH THEIR MAXIMUM POTENTIAL. Just listen to how Ben Newsome reacts to BU GA LU and how BU GA LU RESPONDS. WOW! What a treat this session is and how wonderful it is to witness such JOY between players. More duo sessions like this are needed in the JAZZ FIELD. Learning to get the most out of the TRUTHFUL MOMENT IS THE KEY and Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith plays on the highest level regardless of whether he is with one player or a hundred, he always plays those drums like it's his last opportunity to perform. This is what he teaches players. PLAY LIKE YOU MIGHT NEVER HAVE THIS CHANCE AGAIN. "GET TO THE SHIT ANY WAY YOU CAN AND SWING".
LOVE ALWAYS and ALWAYS LOVE,
