Charli Persip

Fine drummer, GREAT big band drummer. He's particularly inspired on the Bill Potts "Porgy and Bess" album. I believe I was told that he was a bit late for the date and sight read his way through things all the way. Maybe that's just what a pro should be able to do, but to do that at such a high level of inspiration! There lot of "hits" written into in those arrangements, and Persip nails them in an utterly free manner, as though he were making it all up. Also, he had a big beat, if you know what I mean.

Always crisp, that Charli Persip. He's a big part of the perfection that is Mal Waldron's THE QUEST, IMO. He also meshes exceedingly well with Jerome Richardson on his Prestige/New Jazz dates. And that record he made with his Jazz Statesmen for Bethlehem is quite enjoyable as well.
