In 2021, following the passing of jazz great Chick Corea, drummer Rob Silverman and keyboardist Jay Oliver were inspired to create an epic tribute to their musical hero. Along with an incredible lineup of friends, including two other legendary drummers, Dave Weckl and Steve Gadd, they wrote “The Alchemist,” an opus that brought together all of the remaining members of the Chick Corea Elektric Band: Eric Marienthal, sax; Frank Gambale, guitar; John Patitucci, bass; and Rob’s brother, keyboardist Michael Silverman, stepping in as well.
“The Alchemist” is the latest single from Drumology II, Silverman's upcoming album. The video was first released as part of the 2022 Modern Drummer Festival and will be released publicly for the first time at a YouTube watch party on Monday, April 4 at 12PM Eastern time.

On his acclaimed 2020 Drumology album, Silverman assembled some of the world’s greatest drummers for a series of exhilarating percussive dialogues that revealed the engaging versatility of the drums. The album featured drum giants Gregg Bissonette, Steve Smith, Simon Phillips, Dave Weckl, John Blackwell and Casey Adams, a friend and collaborator who has become one of the most in-demand drum teachers in St. Louis. |
