Death is DUMB Volume 9: Terry Kath - The Spirit & Sinew of Chicago | MUSIC is not a GENRE - Season 4 Episode #37

MUSIC is not a GENRE

SUPPORT ME ON PATREON WATCH MUSIC is not a GENRE VIDEOS and MORE FEATURED SONG: REC – “Ripe” (from The Sunshine Seminar) Every band has a different dynamic, both for music and for business. Mick Jagger was right business-wise when he called the Beatles the “four-headed monster”, but on the music side they really just had the two heads. Most of U2's music is driven by two heads as well, but Larry Mullen Jr. started the band, so my guess is business-wise there's more equality overall. Fleetwood Mac has almost always been a complete mess on both sides, which makes their longevity & artistic success even more striking. Nirvana was that one troubled head for music, and likely pretty equal on the business end. Chicago was a special case. (I say was because they've been a shadow of themselves for a long time now, and more on that later.) They morphed. For their musical direction & business decisions to have changed so much and so often, you'd think their personnel did too. Nope. For all of their classic period, they were the core seven (and for a short stretch percussionist Laudir de Oliveira). After the death of Terry Kath & some growing pains (about which more below), their breakout comeback early 1980s period had six original members plus Chris Pinnick & Bill Champlin. After Peter Cetera left, he was seamlessly replaced with Jason Scheff, and Dawayne Bailey took over for Chris. When Danny Seraphine bowed out, Tris Imboden took over & stayed longer than any other drummer. And for the 1990s and almost all of this century, it's been the core four, Tris, Lou Pardini on keys, and a bunch of other changes. In the last few years, with Walt Parazaider retiring, it's down to three originals, Lou, and a handful of others who seem to be sticking around so far. Why do I go into that much detail? Two reasons. One, to show how much change a stalwart band needs to endure to have a career this long. And two, to show how this week's subject – the death of Terry Kath – made more of an impact on both the business & music trajectory of Chicago than any other event in their history. For those of you unfamiliar, a quick history. Terry was one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Top ten in the minds of many. He was also one of the principal vocalists & writers of the band. His passion & dedication to expression above all else gave Chicago a huge part of their initial raison d'etre, and their depth & groundedness. Then in 1978, he died of an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot to the head. From that point on, Chicago was never the same. And in many ways never as good. You could say that the death of any core band member changes a band forever, but that's a sliding scale. Bonham's death ultimately ended Led Zeppelin, but I'd argue it didn't do a whole lot to change their music. The Who's sound did change when Keith Moon died, but they've always really been another two-headed monster. Cobain's death of course ended that band. As for the recent death of Taylor Hawkins, the impact remains to be seen.

He has performed with many jazz, Latin, World music, World fusion, Afro-Cuban, and rock bands as a touring, session recording, and full-time player. Reyes is known for his fusion of many of the world's percussion techniques, including the ability to play a drum set with his hands in addition to the traditional use of drumsticks.   It's said that he can "sound like a drummer and a percussionist at the same time". He is well known as a long-term member of Santana, and a member of Chicago as the percussionist from 2012—2018 and the drummer since 2018.  Walfredo Reyes Jr. was born on December 18, 1955 in Havana, Cuba. He's a third generation musician in a prolific professional musical lineage on both sides of his family, including several globally notable percussion experts. His father is percussionist Walfredo Reyes, Sr.; one brother is World music percussionist Daniel de los Reyes (also with Chicago); another brother is actor Kamar de los Reyes; and his grandfather is trumpeter and Cuban orchestral organizer, Walfredo de los Reyes II. Reyes has had a lifelong interest in the music of Chicago Transit Authority, now known as Chicago. He says that the band's debut album, Chicago Transit Authority, is the first album that he had ever purchased as a youth with his own money. The following passage is written by Rick Van Horn: “Few drummers playing today can successfully combine the rich history of Latin, Afro-Cuban and World Percussion with the drum set.  For Walfredo Reyes, Jr., fusing the two disciplines has been his driving passion. In fact, by blazing this path, Reyes has challenged the technical levels of our instrument. Born in Cuba, raised in Puerto Rico, and culminating his musical style in the U.S., Wally (Walfredo Jr.) learned the traditions from the master, his father Walfredo Sr. "He married those principles with his love of the drum set, coming up with his own truly global rhythmic style. Simply put, Wally is able to sound like a drummer and a percussionist at the same time. Add blistering chops and a penchant for playing unusual patterns to the mix, and you have only a small idea of what this man can do." Not surprisingly, this one-man percussion show has gathered an impressive list of gigs over the years, including touring and/or recording with: - Carlos Santana, Traffic - Steve Winwood - Jackson Browne - Celia Cruz - Gloria Estefan - David Lindley - Ricki Lee Jones - Richard Marx - Sergio Mendes - Smokey Robinson - Robbie Robertson- Joe Sample - Boz Scaggs- Christina Aguilera - Ricky Martin - Johnny Hallyday - Khaled - Lindsey Buckingham - Chicago - And many others Because of his versatility, Walfredo is one of the most in demand musicians in the world today. He continues to expand his talents to recording, producing, composing, education, live performance, and touring.

Every great record has a “B” side which is simply another way of looking at the same artist. In Episode 25, K Bo, Duke, and Amy explore the “B” side of one of the most iconic and well-known drummers in the music business; Tris Imboden. Tris's resume is vast and well documented and most know him for his long-standing runs with the Hall of Fame band Chicago as well multi-Grammy winner Kenny Loggins. However, there is a “B” side to Tris which is equally as good as the “A” side. That “other” side includes his experiences as a lifelong master surfer, cancer survivor, accomplished harpist, and, even his experience on an internet dating site which led him to meet the love of his life. Always engaging and thought of by many to be one of the nicest guys in the business, check out our sitdown with the one and only Tris Imboden.
