Earl Palmer: 1924 – 2008 (Video by B+) (via Vimeo)
Certified Fresh just posted something on Mitch Mitchell passing away the other day, so I thought I’d shed light on another influential drummer that passed last September. I’ll let ya’ll read up on him on you’re own time, I just want you to listen how B+ used Earl Palmer’s track from the Holy Thursday / Songs of Innocence session to accentuate how his sound defined David Axelrod’s music (as well as others). His work on this track is forever hair raising. RIP my man.
