James Brown in particular. I remember reading that when Led Zeppelin shared a bill with James Brown (and others), all three of James Browns' drummer were huddled around John Bonham's drum kit, watching what this one drummer did what it took all three of them to accomplish. All three in awe, of course. Jones told this story. It most likely was Jabo Starks and Clyde Stubblefield. Two of the all times greatest groove masters whom Bonzo greatly admired. He also loved Al Jackson and Howard Grimes, the Stax drummers with Al Green and Otis Redding. He also liked playing along with Joni Mitchell albums and loved Alphonse Mouzon. Great taste in music, and the influence showed. Edited October 14, 2016 by porgie66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
