Allen Herman Out of the Box CD

"Allen Herman was my first drum teacher. He showed me how to hold the sticks and make them bounce effortlessly. Out of the Box is a beautiful meditation that takes you on a mysterious journey through Allens' universe . This masterpiece is an uncompromising artistic improvisation from a man that has been there, left and come back to a higher more spiritual expression of playing. I am very proud to have helped my first teacher get his personal musical message out and add it to the pantheon of solo drumming vocabulary."
