Collector’s Note:
This 1970 issue stands out for its dual spotlight on drumming giants from two worlds: Ginger Baker, the rock innovator with African and jazz influences, and Buddy Rich, the powerhouse big band leader. Alongside them, the magazine profiles Louis Bellson’s career and surveys avant-garde drummers including Andrew Cyrille and Milford Graves. With Alan Dawson’s workshop on odd-time syncopation and Stix Hooper’s Blindfold Test, this edition is a landmark percussion-centered issue that captures the dynamic intersections of jazz, rock, and experimental rhythm at the dawn of the 1970s.
