Description

Drummer Frank Derrick III (Cab Calloway, The Royal Philharmonic, The David Letterman Show) has a wide range of musical experience...his precision, driving rhythmic style and "Straight Ahead" jazz compositions make him unique and a master of his craft. He is a powerfully swinging (yet tasteful) drummer who always makes sure his skills ‘serve' the music he's performing. Next to his own recordings he has performed and recorded with numerous legends and artists including Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Eartha Kitt, Roberta Flack, and Donna Summer.

On You Betcha! you'll find recordings written by both Frank Derrick III and his father Frank Derrick Jr. (a professional musician and arranger who played with notables like Duke Ellington and Earl Hinges). All of the songs are performed by one of his many incarnations: "The Frank Derrick Total Experience." Some serious all-star players also make contributions here including Bill Payne (John Cale, Lionel Richie) and Edwin Williams (Syl Johnson). You Betcha! was recorded in 1974 at the legendary Chicago nightclub Fiddler's. The sound quality is top-notch and intimate with a noticeable vibe that conveys the enthusiasm of the audience. Only 1000 copies of this album were privately pressed back in 1974, so it comes as no surprise that this record continues to be one of the rarest sought-after vinyl albums by jazz collectors worldwide. If you enjoy uplifting and hard-swinging jazz, slightly mysterious at times (bordering on the spiritual), lots of funky/soul influences and bouncing energetic grooves...then this is a highly recommended gem for your record collection.

Tidal Waves Music presents the first ever vinyl reissue of this fantastic album on 180g LP complete with the original artwork and sleeve notes by jazz bassist extraordinaire Eldee Young (Prince Billy Mahdi Wright, Ramsey Lewis).
