Rick Marotta

[Peter Corona]

Hi.

I was watching PBS the other night. Carly Simon was on, recorded live at
grand Central Station.

A flash of the drummer and I thought to myself; I know this guy...

I was right. It WAS Rick Marotta! This is one of the most under-rated
drummers in the jazz-pop world.

Carly had a funky sound, worth watching and listening to.

It's great to see Rick again!

How old was that show?

Haven't heard anything about Rick OR Jerry for a long time...

That band also featured mah boy Doug Wimbish on bass guitar--a massive
talent, very musical cat. Plays with intelligence and diplomacy.

GJ,

It was 04/95.

I love those guys. I'm going to post about them and see what comes up.

I have the fondest memories or Rick with Steve TOGETHER behind John
Tropea and Ralph MacDonald's solo band.

Never heard of Doug Wimbish? He's a very good electric bassist.

Spoken like a man with a well-worn copy of the
"Boys In The Trees" album sleeve.

I once caught a Larry Carlton gig of which the highlight was a duet
jam between Rick Marotta and Abe Laboriel. That was probably the single
groovinest, funkiest thing I've ever heard in my life. Those two guys
should just cut a duo record together. Either one of them can funk up
a room all by himself, and when you put them together it's awesome.

I'm not positive. I was just looking for my TackHead CDs to confirm the
spelling, but I couldn't find them (...I know they're around here
somewhere). Cheers.

Wimbish. Two i's. He was also Muzz Skillings' replacement in Living
Colour.
Jeff, look over next to your Joni Mitchell 8 tracks (thanks for loaning
them to me BTW).
Salud!
