Beating to the Rhythm of the Song: Lee Finkelstein and John Simeone Drumming Deep Dive

Send us a Text Message.When Lee Finkelstein lays down a beat, it's not just rhythm—he's telling a story, painting a landscape. It's a philosophy I, John Simeone, share wholeheartedly. Our recent conversation took us on a tour through the world of drumming, where we unpacked the essence of what it means to truly play for the music. Lee, with his wealth of experience across genres, emphasizes the idea that serving the song trumps personal showmanship. We riff on the camaraderie between drummers, the joy found in simplicity, and the magnetic pull of a groove that unites a band. The heartbeat of our episode pulses with discussions on live performance and the wisdom Lee shares gleaned from playing with legends like the Blues Brothers band and stepping in for David Garibaldi with Tower of Power. As we explore the shifting tides of the music industry, we offer nuggets of advice for up-and-coming drummers striving to stay relevant. Join us as we share stories of triumph, the humbling moments of our careers, and the lessons that resonate beyond the stage. It's a rhythmic ride that speaks to the core of every musician's spirit.Lee has recorded, performed with and backed up Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Nancy Wilson, Grover Washington Jr, Eric Gale, The Oregon Symphony Orchestra & Randy Brecker, Isaac Hayes, Eddie Floyd, Bette Midler, Blood Sweat & Tears, Russ Freeman, Julio Iglesias, Frankie Paul, Johnny Winter, Steve Cropper, Lou Marini, Will Lee, Paul Shafer, John Tropea, Leon Pendarvis, Alan Rubin, Saturday Night Live, Dave Valentine, Cornelius Bumpus, Anthony Jackson, Mary Wilson, Daryl Hall, John Oates, Hudson River Rats, Joey Ramone, Vaneese Thomas, Mario Cruz, Jens Wendelboe, Don Blackman, Oz Noy, Buzz Feiten, Neil Jason, Deena Miller, Dave Fields, Jay Prince, Bill Heller, Cosmic Oven, Derretub Snub, Hadrian Decree, Red Flannel Hash Band, Small Talk/Jim Small Band, The Paper Bag, Timberwolf, Yasgur's Farm, Jim Pin Band 5+2-1, Eclipse, Funk Filharmonik, The Zen Tricksters, Major Domo, Chick Singer Night NYC, Jonny Rosch, Bobby Harden, Stevie Cochran, Ed Palermo Big Band, Napoleon Murphy Brock, Wycliff Gordon, Marc Ribler, Jack Daley, JT Bowen, Southside Johhny, Bowling For Leftovers, Dead On Live, Felix Cavaliere and The Rascals, Felicia Collins, David Spinozza, Vernon Reid, Corey Glover, Bill Murray, Chris Noth, Ben Vereen, Friends of the Brothers, the Royal Scam and Paul Sorvino.   Support the Show.

2022 Cigar of the Year Countdown (Coop's List): #20: Alec Bradley Magic Toast Box Pressed Gran Toro (2021 PCA Exclusive) (Audio)

Cigar Coop Prime Time Show

Coming in at #20 is the Alec Bradley Magic Toast Box Pressed Gran Toro. In an effort to generate more interest in the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, many companies committed to releasing exclusive offerings that could only be purchased by retailers attending the show. In 2021, the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) made an attempt to somewhat formalize these trade show releases into an exclusive series. One of those exclusive releases for the 2021 PCA Trade Show from Alec Bradley was a limited edition box-pressed Gran Toro version of its highly successful Magic Toast line – a line that landed on the Countdown in 2018. The name Magic Toast traces back to when Alan Rubin and his partner Ralph Montero were down in Honduras at a tobacco field in the middle of the night. As they were looking at the area with a flashlight, Rubin noted how the experience was almost “magical.” Montero suggested they grab a bottle of whisky and propose a toast, thus the name Magic Toast. It also turns out that some of the tobaccos from that field would be incorporated into the Magic Toast cigar line. The Alec Bradley Magic Toast is highlighted by a dark Honduran wrapper. As with many Alec Bradley cigars, the Magic Toast utilizes two binders – one from Honduras and one from Nicaragua. The fillers used are also from Honduras and Nicaragua. Production is handled at the Raices Cubanas factory in Honduras. At press time, the 6 x 54 Box-Pressed Gran Toro is the only box-pressed offering in the Magic Toast. The Alec Bradley Magic Toast Box Pressed Gran Toro cigar delivered a medium-strength, medium-bodied smoking experience. The flavors delivered included earth, coffee, chocolate, bing cherry, citrus, and pepper. This blend transitioned very nicely to the box-pressed format. This was also a well-constructed cigar, and the draw on this cigar was one of the best on a box press (namely it had a touch of resistance). For Alec Bradley, this marks the sixth year the company has placed a cigar on the Countdown. If you are following the reveal order, we have unveiled 11 cigars and this is also the first Honduran-made cigar to place on the 2022 Countdown. Full Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-ok6 Note: We incorrectly stated this was the second Honduran made cigar landing on the 2022 Countdown on the video. We apologize for this mistake.

Jazz-rock band Blood, Sweat & Tears waited until their second studio album to eponymously name it Blood, Sweat & Tears.  This band would defy convention in many ways.  It was a large band, boasting nine full-time members, and adding a tenth in trumpet player Alan Rubin for one song.  They also played a complex mix of progressive music that would come to be called "jazz-rock."  This album would be the first with David Clayton-Thomas on lead vocals, and would spend seven weeks at the top of the album charts.  It would also be a critical success, netting the band a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1970.Al Kooper, the original band leader and rock legend, started the group.  The sound was inspired by the sound of the Buckinghams and Maynard Ferguson.  Kooper left after the second album, and David Clayton-Thomas came in as front man.  There were over 100 members in Blood, Sweat & Tears over the years, including Bo Bice of "American Idol" fame.  The group name came from a Winston Churchill speech.Blood, Sweat & Tears was the number 1 album at the time that the Woodstock music festival was held in August of 1969, and at $15,000 they were the highest paid band to appear at Woodstock behind Jimi Hendrix.  For some reason, they decided not to get filmed for the gig, and as a result they are not seen in all the documentaries and retrospectives on that historic concert.  It is almost as if Blood, Sweat & Tears were erased from history.  On top of that, they didn't get their $15,000 at the end of the concert either!A couple of other factors cause Blood, Sweat & Tears to be overlooked.  Their songs tend to be longer during a time when singles were no longer than 3 minutes for radio.  They also toured eastern Europe in 1972 to show off rock and roll music, sponsored by the U.S. State Department.  The counter culture considered this a sell out, and many of their Vietnam-era protest fans abandoned Blood, Sweat & Tears because of it.Get ready to ride a painted pony and let the spinnin' wheel spin! Smiling PhasesThis very jazzy track is a cover of a song originally done by Steve Winwood and Traffic.  The idea is of the song is that you put a smile on no matter what life throws at you.  Keep on smiling and moving forward - don't let the obstacles get you down.You've Made Me So Very HappyThis well known track peaked at number 2, and is a cover of a Motown song done originally by Brenda Holloway in 1967.  They tried to do this song with Al Kooper on their first album, but Kooper's voice wasn't well-adapted to it.  They tried it at a live show with David Clayton-Thomas, and it worked.And When I DieAnother cover that peaked at number 2, this song was written by 17 year-old Laura Nyro and was originally performed by Peter, Paul & Mary.  Blood, Sweat & Tears picked up this song when Nyro was dating the bass player.  Their cover version went to number 2.  It is about recognizing the limited time you have on this earth and making the most of it.  That's pretty profound lyrics for a 17 year-old!Spinning WheelThe big single of the album was this well known hit, peaking at - you guessed it - number 2.  It compares life to riding on a carousel.  Things come and things go, "what goes up must come down."  Enjoy the ride. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main Theme to the television series “Marcus Welby M.D.”Robert Young of "Father Knows Best" fame would star in this long-running series that would take on several controversies during its 7-year run.  The pilot for the series aired in March of 1969. STAFF PICKS:Day after Day (It's Slippin' Away) by ShangoRob starts our staff picks with this calypso one-hit wonder.  It is known as a novelty act about how the earthquakes in California will cause the whole coast to slide into the Pacific - "you better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho!" Everyday People by Sly & The Family StoneBrian features a big hit from the fusion group Sly & The Family Stone.  Everyone is essentially the same and we need to learn to live together.  The group was known for combining musical styles and its members' ethnic diversity during a time of racial tensions. Time of the Season by The ZombiesBruce's staff pick was a surprise hit by the group led by keyboardist Rod Argent and vocalist Colin Blunstone.  It took about a year to catch on before hitting number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1969.  It has become sort of a counterculture anthem in pop culture, and is frequently used in Vietnam-era scenes and flashbacks.Rock Me by SteppenwolfWayne's staff pick is a deeper cut, though it hit the charts and peaked at number 10 at the time.  Lead singer John Kay wrote this one.  It has a deeper meaning as a kind of protest song.  Canadian band Steppenwolf was nominated to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017, though they didn't make it in.     INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Variations On a Theme by Erik Satie (1st Movement) by Blood, Sweat & TearsWe're once again double dipping on our featured album.  Blood, Sweat & Tears had a number of instrumental pieces on their albums, and this one is the opening track.

Alec and I also pick up a debate we started over eight months ago.  What exactly is a boutique cigar company.  Enjoy!   https://www.alecandbradley.com/ Kintsugi Release: https://cigar-coop.com/2020/03/cigar-news-alec-bradley-kintsugi-coming-later-this-spring.html   #Take of the #Take: "We had a decision to make.  To be Alan Rubin's sons or Alec Bradley and we chose Alec and Bradley."

When I first heard of the Alec & Bradley Blind Faith, I was led to believe this was an amazing, ultra-rare cigar that I just had to try. So, when I found one in my possession, I was excited to see if it was worth the hype.This cigar is a collaboration between Alec and Bradley, the two sons of Alec Bradley founder, Alan Rubin. Though it still is an Alec Bradley (the brand) cigar, technically, this stick comes from a unique line just line any line from any other manufacturer.After punching the cigar, the draw was very tight. So, I punched it again, and that didn't help much. The Alec Bradley Blind Faith is supposed to be a great cigar, so let's find out!CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Alec BradleyLine: Alec and Bradley, Blind FaithSize: 5 x 52Cut: Punch / GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $8.95Wrapper: Honduran HabanoBinder: Nicaragua, HondurasFiller: NicaraguaBuy this Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-ab-aandb-blindfaithAfter just a few minutes with the cigar, the draw was so tight, I had to use my guillotine to open it up. It didn't; even after two punches and two cuts with the guillotine, the draw was still tight.Additionally, several cracks started to show up in the middle of the cigar. At one point, the only thing holding the cigar together was the label. However, the flavors were decent and of leather.Final Thoughts:My particular stick of the Alec & Bradley Blind Faith Robusto was plagued by problems. Uneven burn. A tight draw. And it wouldn't stay lit. And the wrapper cracked several times. This cigar's problems just keep adding up, and the sum is a pretty poor experience.Although I didn't like this particular stick, I think I would like to try another one and give it a second chance. However, this rolling of the Alec & Bradley Blind Faith Robusto earns a CigarScore 2.#CigarScoreTV:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

Alec Bradley is one a name loads of cigar smokers know well. But fewer know that there isn’t actually a guy named Alec Bradley behind the brand. The name refers to two brothers — Alec and Bradley — who are the sons of the company’s founder Alan Rubin. While the name might not have referred to anyone in the cigar business at first, that’s starting to change. Our publisher Erik Calviño sat down with Alan Rubin to talk about his company, what’s new in the Alec Bradley portfolio, and the cigar project that the now-adult Alec and Bradley have taken on.
