Bettie Serveert - Palomine?

quote:

represented the triumph of the human spirit in jazz and life. Hunchbacked, small in stature, almost a dwarf with a large face and broad shoulders, fought off congenital tuberculosis of the spine in order to become one of the most competitive drummers and bandleaders of the big band era. Perched high upon a platform, he used custom-made pedals, goose-neck cymbal holders, a 28-inch bass drum and a wide variety of other percussion instruments to create thundering solos of a complexity and energy that paved the way for Buddy Rich (who studied intensely) and Louie Bellson. Alas, did not get a fair shake on records; Decca's primitive recording techniques could not adequately capture his spectacular technique and wide dynamic range. He could not read music, but that didn't stop him either, for he memorized each arrangement flawlessly. Although his band did not become as influential and revered in the long run as some of its contemporaries, it nevertheless was feared in its time for its battles of the bands in Harlem's Savoy Ballroom; a famous encounter with the high-flying Benny Goodman outfit at its peak (with Gene Krupa in the drummer's chair) left the latter band drained and defeated.

Volgens de overlevering zo'n heftige drummer dat zijn drumkit voor het optreden altijd in de grond moest worden vastgezet. Hij is trouwens ook maar 30 jaar oud geworden.

has released material on !K7, Ninja Tune's Ntone offshoot, SSR, and his own ATL imprint. Formerly of pop-house group the Sandals (who had a huge hit in the early '90s with "Feet"), went solo after problems with the group's label forced them to break up (his label, ATL — All That's Left — is an ironic tribute to that sobering experience). Although his solo releases began appearing around the time of post-Mo'Wax bandwagon-jumping, ' tracks have a studied complexity that distinguish them from the breakbeat wallpaper of the spliff-soaked downbeat set. He released his first two 12"s, Juryman's Juryman 1 and Juryman 2, on ATL before heading to Ninja Tune's experimental Ntone arm for Juryman 3. His fourth single (care to guess its title?) appeared on Crammed subsidiary SSR in 1997 and included more full-blown drum'n'bass rhythmic elements. The Juryman full-length Mail Order Justice followed later that year, recorded with recording partner Luke Gordon (aka Spacer), the in-house engineer at Howie B.'s Pussyfoot studio. Both ' second ( ) and third ( ) full-lengths appeared under his own name on !K7.
