2006 Marotta/Griesgraber – Waking The Day
Veteran session drummer Jerry Marotta and Chapman Stick master Tom Griesgraber team up to bring us this unique instrumental album that moves with ease through a myriad of moods and stylistic shadings. Marotta’s skills as a drum and percussion orchestrator that made him a legend from working with artists like Peter Gabriel, Paul McCartney, The Indigo Girls, Robert Fripp, Elvis Costello and hundreds of others have never been on better display. Fans of ethnic drums, world percussion and deep pocket grooves will find it all here.
