Drummer Will Glass offers a love letter / response album to generations of Hip Hop sampling with this all-original collection of live drum breaks. Tracklisting as it appears on the back cover: Side A: 32 original live drum breaks, recorded using a variety of analog and digital techniques, and influenced by hip hop, jazz, funk, rock and roll, Afrobeat, Latin, and soul. Side B: A 16-minute drum set improvisation, featuring breaks connected by various flows, transitions, and textures.
Will Glass plays in a variety of styles and settings. He has done experimental pop with Dirty Projectors and Nat Baldwin, Afrobeat with Fela Kuti Egypt 80 alum Baba Ola Jagun, Rock and Roll with Mike Watt, and an array of funk, hip hop, free jazz and improvised styles. He is currently at work on a live, one-man, instrumental Hip Hop album. All of this comes into play on Glass Breaks.
Key Selling Points:
- Sample free, never-before-heard drum breaks of great quality and
variety. Many DJs and producers will buy in pairs.
- It both fits in an established format (drum break records) and touches
on other, more elusive territory (jazz-influenced improvisation) on
Side B, which could attract new listeners aside from DJs and producers.
- Striking cover design by celebrated Washington Heights NYC graffiti
artist Dister Rondon.
- SIde B is a continuous piece of music, but was specially cut on the
vinyl so that the breaks and sections are visible for DJs and Producers. |
