Newmark took a seat at the battered drum pads by the bed and - knowing he had 20 seconds to make an impression - let fly with the funkiest beat he could muster.
Newmark went on to record an album called "Fresh" with Stone, and that album forever changed the landscape of popular music by fusing jazz, funk, and soul in a combination that had never been heard before, or maybe since.
Andy, known for his incredible and imacculate groove work with John Lennon, Sly and The Family Stone, Carly Simon, David Gilmore, Brian Ferry and Roxy Music and way too many more to list here, is now available for private lessons.
Andy's article impressed me in how articulate he was about projecting his sound.
Andy comes from a background of funk-influenced rock drumming, often working in an environment of electric instruments, heavy amplification and large venues.
Andy and Jeff simply employ different concepts and that is important to recognize.
