Chris Dave and the Drumhedz/Tokyo,Japan 2018

His incredible technique and unique originality have made him popular in the recording and touring world of pop stars such as D’Angelo, Adele, Justin Bieber, and Ed Sheeran, and he is making waves in the modern jazz/R&B scene and, by extension, the drumming world. Drumheads, led by Chris Dave, the most famous and talented beat maker, will be performing in Japan! ! ! Chris Dave released his debut album with his solo project, Chris Dave & The Drumheads, in January and received rave reviews. From big pop stars to Kenny Garrett, Michelle Ndegeocello, Robert Glasper, and others, he is one of the best drummers in the world, with a command of various types of rhythms, including jazz, black rock, reggae, Afro-beat, and hip-hop. It is still fresh in my memory that the long-awaited performance in Japan was decided at the perfect time as they were attracting a lot of attention around the world, and that many music fans, including music experts, were stunned. The first and second stages of Drumheads, led by Chris, held on May 30, 2018, were both performed in superb high-quality stereo sound with the label’s own careful mastering, and both performances continued until the encore. A complete 2-disc set has arrived! ! ! Born in 1973, Chris picked up drum sticks at the age of 3, and was familiar with gospel music from an early age. Under the influence of his father, he became obsessed with Miles Davis and John Coltrane. In high school, she entered the school that later produced Beyoncé and Robert Glasper. Furthermore, when he entered the prestigious Howard University, in his first year he met Jam & Lewis, a talented producer/songwriter duo who would later work with Prince and Mariah Carey, and joined Mint Condition. Since then, he has participated in many recording sessions with R&B artists such as Lionel Richie, Erykah Badu, and Mary J. Blige, as well as top jazzmen such as Kenny Garrett. In the 2000s, he won Grammys for albums by Maxwell and Adele. In 2009, he joined his high school junior Robert Glasper’s experiment as the first drummer, and won another Grammy for his new-generation jazz milestone “Black Radio.” In 2013, Chris’ long-awaited solo project, Drumheads, was launched. While streaming, they performed songs featuring Glasper, Thundercat, Kamasi Washington, Questlove, Terrace Martin, Hiatus Kaiyote, and others. In January 2018, his first solo album “Chris Dave & The Drumheads” was finally released on the prestigious Blue Note label and received great acclaim all over the world. The long-awaited Japan performance was held as part of the tour accompanying the release of this first album. A group of up-and-coming talents led by Isaiah Sharkey, a guitarist with outstanding technique who was also with D’Angelo & the Vanguard, Bobby Sparks on keyboards, Nick McNuck on bass, and Gene Moore on vocals, have never been in the studio. They completely knocked out the audience with their super live performance that you will never be able to experience. Centered on Chris, who plays various beats one after another, jazz, Latin, Afro, reggae, rock, R&B, and hip-hop are mixed together, and it is an original performance that has never been heard before, as if it was the first time encountering Miles’ electric version. We will continue to develop. Chris also seems to be a big fan of Tony Williams, and has covered two songs, including New Lifetime’s “Proto Cosmos” and “Fred,” from the era of technical jazz rock featuring Allan Holdsworth. There is. Here, Chris’ spectacular drumming, which is a model of “gospel chops” which is a general term for the speedy and complex phrases and super techniques of drummers who come from gospel music, which requires technical performance, explodes. Also, pay attention to Sharkey who listens to Holdsworth’s transcendent guitar. Also, the R&B/new soul number featuring Gene’s vocals is irresistible. Chris, who has been going back and forth between jazz and R&B for a long time, showed off his charm in a performance that was amazing! ! ! The impact of Chris’s appearance was so great that it is said to have divided the history of drumming between before and after Chris Dave, but the drumheads led by Chris are now reaching their peak and are a must-listen no matter what. ! ! !
