Big Noise...From Planet Earth
Jazz and Broadway drummer Rich Rosenzweig combines in-depth interviews with the some of the best freelance musicians in New York City and across the country, and pairs the discussion with his special challenge: each guest must lay down their own improvised tracks over previously recorded drum vignettes created by Rich. No other rules, no boundaries- the sky’s the limit. What follows is a fascinating compare-and-contrast of creative minds. That, along with some illuminating and at times hysterical discussion of the lives and careers of some of the best guns-for-hire in the professional world of music. Season One: Bassists/Duets Season Two: NEW!-Various Instrumentalists/Trios

Disclaimer: I’ve hung out with this guy…
Even if he wasn’t a close friend whom I’d played jazz gigs, concerts, and Broadway with, even if he wasn’t generously helping to edit this podcast because he’s one of the most insanely talented dudes I know, Pete would be on my- okay, anyone’s- list, to discuss his amazing career, and to lay down slammin’ bass tracks. Here Mr. Donovan discusses his career of enviable and endless variety, from Juilliard to Broadway, to symphony orchestras to studio work, to producing his own solo writing/singing/solo bass accompaniment project.
And please stay for the duets. They’re incredible.
