Donald Bailey – Born To Drum

Donald “Duck” Bailey is one of the few musicians who have significantly impacted the music industry. When you talk about drummers with style and influence, be sure to find Donald somewhere on the list. He has assisted to put in place the pulse of jazz for more than 50 years.

Well, you may not find him on the top list of innovators in this set, but he has played a vital role in shaping it. Consider his 9-year gig with Hammond B3 legend Jimmy Smith for instance. This happened between 1956 and 1964, where he was the drummer that cemented the band’s guitar and drum. He was the instrumentation of the organ combination for the B3.
