Stephan’s Basement Video Series
Jeremy Dutton and I talked about Stephan’s Basement briefly on the podcast. I think I remember that Stephan has a jazz club in Switzerland and when artists come through, he has them over for dinner and then invites the drummers to play on his massive set.
The list of drummers so far is impressive and it’s fun to see what they do with such a huge kit.
This week I was excited to see JK Kim get his turn. I’m a big fan of his playing.
