O’s Notes: Ralph has been banging his drum set for over thirty years with countless stars in jazz, R&B and fusion. He leads the Gennext big band on I Remember Bu, recorded live at Sculler’s in Boston, November 2017. Donald Harrison is the featured soloist on 5 of 9 vibrant selections and they all sizzle! Bu is the Art Blakey legacy or The Jazz Messengers of which Ralph was a part and is now an extension of the legacy. Blakey would be proud.
