I'm reading a Keith Moon Biography at the moment and it states <br>       "He ended his working year(1971)with an unintentional nod to the man he had started it with, getting behind the kit to ensure Frank Zappa's Caravan With a Drum Solo lived up to it's name"

It's Caravan with a Drum Solo in the book i read, ok?

"I wanna hear Caravan with a drum solo." - one of many humorous spoken phrases from Absolutely Free (it appears specifically in America Drinks & Goes Home).  The spoken phrases were ingredients in Frank Zappa's musical/satirical stew. <br><br>I like Caravan - Duke Ellington was fantastic. But isn't that tune kind of faux exotic? I think this is something a goof in a night club would blurt out who doesn't even care that the big band he is listening to has nothing of substance to offer. Apropos of the mindless II-V-I desolation being lampooned in the song America Drinks (to be followed by I7-V7 desolation lampooned in Tiny Sick Tears.)

But it has some force in the art even if you do not know the in-joke. It has context in America Drinks - goofs who like stale vapid night-club music.

I have a real good version of Caravan with Buddy Rich and Max Roach.

Talk about a hip drum sola!

Gene Krupa did a great version of Caravan on the old Playboy After Dark show. I know it's on DVD somewhere, but I couldn't find it on youtube.

Cool!

Yea Max Roach's drums sound way better than Buddy. Buddy never really tuned his drums to well IMO. Where as Max's drums just sing!

That is what I always liked about John Bonham. His drums sounded great even though he wasn't that great a soloist.

Another drummer I always liked for drum sound was Michael Shrieve (and his playing kicked ass).
