Alfred Distributes Danny Seraphine: The Art of Jazz Rock Drumming by Drum Channel

Alfred Music Publishing, the leader in educational music publishing since 1922 and

home to the world’s largest percussion print music catalog, is now distributing

Danny Seraphine: The Art of Jazz Rock Drumming, a DVD on classic Seraphine drum

fills and grooves, from Drum Channel.

Danny Seraphine: The Art of Jazz Rock Drumming is an autobiographical look into the

life and legacy of Danny Seraphine, drummer and founding member of the Grammy®

award-winning rock group Chicago. A sure collector’s item for the fan and music

lover, Seraphine shares with intimate detail his humble beginnings, back stories of

Chicago Transit Authority, and a drummer’s walkthrough with performances featuring

the classic fills and grooves by the man who created them.

Danny Seraphine is known as the pioneer of the jazz rock drumming style who

co-founded the rock group Chicago Transit Authority in the late 60’s. Their

self-titled debut album was released the following year, featuring a unique blend of

jazz-tinged instrumentals, extended jam sections, and Seraphine’s signature drumming

style—all together serving as the catalyst to platinum sales status and heavy radio

airplay during the group’s early years.

Special features in the two-DVD set include an interview hosted by Terry Bozzio,

drum jam with Seraphine and Bozzio, and downloadable drum notation excerpts

outlining grooves to songs such as “25 or 6 to 4,” and “I’m a Man.” As bonus, four

MP3 audio files minus drums are included for play-along with the new CTA (California

Transit Authority).
