Honorable mention to drummer Chuck Burgi, who played on my favorite Brand X LP, "Masques!"
He has a very crisp style and brings quite a bit of "rock" to the idiom of "jazz rock!" Edited by cstack3 - April 05 2021 at 13:47 |

I went to high school in New Jersey with Chuck Burgi. More accurately I went to the same high school as he did at the same time. He might remember me but I doubt it. He was a nice guy in school. He played in the school's best rock group. Their name was Red Bred (or Red Bread).

+1 for Furio Chirico The guy never saw a fill he didn't like! Amazingly busy drummer, and utterly unknown outside of Italy or hard core prog circles.

I got to hang with him a bit during his stint in Blue Oyster Cult after a show. Asked him about Ritchie Blackmore and Rainbow, and oh boy did he have stories about that band.

ok, well the cliff notes version: "Well he was a difficult guy but of course he's Blackmore, so putting up with it to play in Rainbow was worth it. For a while. He fancied himself 'the prince of darkness' and some weird stuff happened around the band *this is where I forget some specific examples, but he had them* Then he became more difficult to be around, and the band started to fracture a little. " I think this was the first time I'd heard the quote "Life is too short to be playing with Ritchie Blackmore" which gets attributed to Lord and Paice depending on the magazine. But I believe this was at least a decade before I'd read it in print. On the other hand, Blackmore in his medieval band, Blackmore's Night is uncharacteristically affable and even takes a good natured ribbing here and there and still smiles, so maybe he is mellowing

Dig the stories. "Masques" is my second favorite Brand X, alb. Killer drumming.

That definitely would put me off.
Blackmore's Night is so jovial, it'd be hard (and comical) to imagine him pulling the same shtick.

It’s amazing how unknown he is. Certainly one of the most underrated and overlooked fusion drummers. |

And for the drumming on the Volker Kriegel double album "Inside: Missing Link" (that should be much better known than it is; it is one of the very best albums in that category ever) and on the follow-up "Lift!"; here an example track from both: Nobody ever talks about Volker Kriegel, which is most definitely a shame.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
