Today I learned of the passing of Jim Chapin, the legendary jazz drummer and author of Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer. Please see the PAS Hall of Fame biography on Jim Chapin to read more. There's a collection of stories in this thread. He passed away on July 4, 2009. Condolences to his family and former students.

Highlights

We gave this part out clean and received it back highlighted. Please don't use highlighters on music when a pencil will do the trick. It's not polite.

Pierre Boulez and Ensemble InterContemporain. Certainly some of the camera work here shows how complex each part of Ionization really is.
