The Beat Goes On

Review "Twenty of the best musicians in the Miami area joined Frank for this collection, divided between performances by his big band and a stimulating quintet. The CD is a salute to the jazz drum tradition but, reflecting the balance in Derrick's musical life, he incorporates drum solos judiciously, as elements of the musical fabric." -- Doug Ramsey Product Description Frank Derrick's The Beat Goes On showcases both Frank's Big Band and his Quintet performing exciting straight ahead jazz. Drummer Frank Derrick has performed around the world and is recognized as a leading authority on drumming technique.
