another beautiful spring day in new york. the dread chill of the winter season is finally behind and the pay off begins. spent the day in prospect park, like so many others, coasting around on my yellow schwinn. happened upon the drummers grove and stopped off to take in the rhythm and dance. the drummers sounded awesome, there were probably thirty of them accompanied by a few flute players and a couple fine gentleman sax players. my first thought was how bad i wanted to sit in, (quietly)joining the drum. my second thought was of this record here, above and to your right. A.K. Salim's Afro-Soul/Drum Orgy. gosh, if the title isn't enough...
