Don Alias is one of the extraordinary percussionists i know who did a great job with Jaco Pastorius, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell and among other artists..
huli nako sa balita pero nakita ko lang sa jacopastorius.com that he passed away on march 2006..just wanna share with you..
sana ganitong klaseng musician o artist ang talagang sumisikat din sa pinas..hindi lang yung mga walang magawa o puro pa-cute lang alam..
music is art that we should respect and not to make a mess out of it.
pls Check out DOn Alias's works with Jaco and the Word of Mouth Band.
Thanks for the info dude...pareho tayo huli na din ako sa balita.
Sayang nga lang at iba ang appreciation dito sa 'pinas kasi ang dami talagang magagaling na pinoy "musicians" kaso puro posers lang talaga ang nabibigyan ng break dahil sa kababawan ng takbo ng utak ng tao dito sa atin lahat nadadaan lang sa porma.
pero man,i still believe na mabibigyan pa din ng break yung mga deserving..we have to believe and do something about it..act on it and spread the word.
the pinoy rock scene is ok naman ever since the days of Juan dela Cruz band..talagang mga tunay na artists and rockers.
pero sana sa jazz din talagang magkaron ng recognition ung mga d best...
tsaka support natin not just mainstream pop-jazz but lalo na ung mga contemporary, avant-garde, experimental music na serious talaga ung mga artists.
support the enthusiasts and the passionate ones in music. lets just support one another.
Peace to
Mr Don Alias!
