Rick Drumm and Fatty Necroses

[Durium]

The name of his group sounds like a Memphis jazz or blues man: Rick Drumm and Fatty Necroses and even the openings tune Fatty Necrosis Sings The Blues suggests that, but ..... nothing is further from the thruth ..... Rick Drumm's, in his fifties, debut album has all to do with his treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and while suffering several rounds of chemo he and his friends decided to make music ..... and to record this album.

We played together when we could, but as I recovered, we formed a real band, and I named it Fatty Necroses, because although the doctors got most of my cancer, they left some dead tissue in places too difficult to reach. So I’ve still got fatty necroses inside of me. Fatty Necroses sounded to me like an old Memphis jazz or blues man, and I liked it, so that’s our name. If you like jazz as played by great names like Chick Corea's Return for Ever or Miles' In a Silent Way this album should be in your collection.
