Zigaboo fashion list

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph "Zigaboo" fashion list (born December 28, 1948 , also Zig or Ziggy ) is an American drummer. As part of the band The Meters , he was particularly influential through the development of Second Line Funk , an association of classic funk drumming with musical traditions from New Orleans .

Career, style and influence

Cissy Strut (1969) - Zigaboo's most famous groove

Modeliste became a founding member of the Meters in 1969 at the age of seventeen. Since the debut album The Meters , which contains the well-known groove Cissy Strut , he played on all albums until the dissolution in 1977 and worked as a co-author on the creation of many pieces. He also played a. a. with the Rolling Stones , Keith Richards , Dr. John and Harry Conick, Jr . Zigaboo also released albums under its own name from 2000. An instructional DVD is also available with Zigaboo Fashion List: The Originator of New Orleans Funky Drumming (2012).

Modeliste developed an innovative style that influenced numerous other drummers. The sometimes unusual orchestration is characteristic of his playing - Zigaboo is also considered a pioneer of linear grooves - paired with strong syncopation and a “broken” rhythm. Cissy Strut can be seen as an example of this specific style, but his drumming also contains grooves with lots of ghost notes and clear borrowings from classic Clyde-Stubblefield grooves (e.g. on Live Wire ).

His well-known, style-defining groove creations include Look-Ka Py Py (album of the same name, 1970) and Jungle Man ( Rejuvenation , 1974) in addition to the ones mentioned .

His grooves also live on in hip-hop, sampled by z. B. Musiq , Queen Latifah , Run DMC , NWA , Ice Cube , Salt-N-Pepa , Cypress Hill , EPMD , Public Enemy , Digable Planets , DJ Shadow , A Tribe Called Quest , Beastie Boys and Naughty by Nature .

The Rolling Stone listed fashion list in 2016 as 18th of the 100 best drummers of all time .
