Fascinatin' Rhythm

A special half-hour devoted to four performers who specialize in the art of rhythm.

Jazz percussionist Joe Morello is known as a pioneer in his field. He played for years with the Dave Brubeck Quartet and he performs his most famous of solos "Take Five" live on our set.

Dancer/choreographer, Sun Ock Lee gives a powerful demonstration of traditional Korean drumming and dance.

Newark's New Jersey Tap Ensemble keeps the beat going for a new generation of dancers. We meet rising star Maurice Chestnut and "tap master" Buster Brown.

And from Ellington, to Coltrane, jazz bassist Larry Ridley has been there to supply the rhythmic foundation every band relies on. He talks with us about his musical career and his devotion to jazz education.
