#48: Daniel Freedman on Imagine That and playing for dancers
Drummer and percussionist Daniel Freedman sits in with Lee to spin cuts from his new album Imagine That on Anzic. Daniel talks about his early years in a very musical NYC household where legends such as Max Roach and Charles Mingus were regular visitors. He also talks about working with Angelique Kidjo and Anat Cohen. And he explains his affinity for Latin music and African music. And what he’s learned in playing for people who want to dance!
