Day 20 - Drums / Percussion
Play something that prominently features drums or percussion

I had something different pulled to play but just heard about the loss of Billy Conway so this one's going out to him.

There was nothing flashy about Billy and his tiny kit, but he was most definitely the glue that held Morphine together. Basically, Billy was the entire rhythm section - Mark pretty much played lead lines on his two string slide bass and Dana blew his heart out on the sax. Billy played with a solid, economical style that was perfect for the band. Morphine was like no other and any other drummer would have blown it. He was the one.

RIP Billy. Thanks for everything.




Morphine - Yes

I have 12 of his albums and this one was my introduction to him.
I could listen to this record all day.


Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Indestructible!

Favorite track:

 
Hey @nolalady I'd love to know how this album came into your world if you're willing to share!
Is this a trick question? It was you, silly.


ETA: When you @Rip_City I take notice, because I found out we like a lllooooootttt of the same stuff whilst spinning tunes in JQBX.

It really is such a fantastic album. I'm really happy @avecigrec turned us on to them. I still need to get some on vinyl but they have been in regular rotation on my streaming since learning about them.
