Danny D'Imperio is a drummer who has spent most of his life playing drums, first in his father's bands and then with many other bands, big and small, the Army Jazz Band, and even holding down the drum chair in the Buddy Rich Tribute band. He is a jazz historian as well with an immense collection. And.. . quite a character.

I honestly begin to think that the estate is holding that up and favoring 80s music. And because there's some family in the 80s music may be why. Not too sure how many more volumes we can expect, but I hope if there is one more it will have the 1975 Japanese concerts.
For a while Swallow was playing a semi-hollow narrow bodied electric 4 string bass guitar. He got really interesting sounds out of that. He's also played fully hollow bodied electric guitars, and solid bodied four- and five-string bass guitars. . . he employed quite a few instruments after he went electric.
