Hi:
I thought this information regarding Return To Forever's drummer Lenny White could be of interest to the forum. As the release discusses, Traps Magazine, Issue 6, has sold out and the Lenny White interview is now available for free download
For
Immediate, Rhythmic Release
Traps
Magazine Sells Out Lenny White; Issue 6 Feature On Return To Forever
Drummer: Free Download Available
San
Jose, Calif., -- With Return To Forever receiving rave reviews, it
should be no surprise that Enter Music Publishing, publishers of hip,
drum/percussion magazines worldwide, has completely sold out Issue
6, featuring Lenny White on the Cover. As a result, Enter Music
Publishing has made available the Lenny White feature as a free
download at:
http://www.drummagazine.com/features/post/free-download-lenny-white-of-return-of-forever/ - - http://www.drummagazine.com/features/post/free-download-lenny-white-of-return-of-forever/ .
The
success of the Lenny White Issue is similiar to that of Enter Music
Publishing's Issue 3, featuring John Bonham on the cover, which
coincided with the reunion of Led Zeppelin. However, in the case of
Zeppelin, the confirmation of the tour came after the magazine had
hit the streets while the White feature gave a compelling discussion
of his thoughts and insights regarding the upcoming tour.
Describing
the current enthusiasm for Return To Forever's reunion tour, Phil
Hood, editor of Enter Music Publishing, writes in an introduction to
the download feature, " For fusion fans, the prospect of Return
To Forever getting back together again after all these years (the
group dis-banded in 1976) is akin to a Beatles reunion, and for the
past few decades seemed about as unlikely. Corea was the lone holdout
in recent years. While Clarke, Di Meola, and White had been lobbying
for an RTF reunion, the three were unable to persuade Corea to take
up the cause, until now ... "
Commenting
further, Hood noted: This (the current Return To Forever Tour) is
discussed at length in our feature and we want all fusion fans to
have the opportunity to read about the reunion from the perspective
of one of jazz fusion's most important drummers."
