Mark Ferber
Drums Solo on
New For Now

About

Mark Ferber closes the solo section with four choruses of drums on "New For Now" at approximately 273 BPM, demonstrating the compositional thinking he brings to his drumming within the 16-bar form in D minor. Following six-chorus solos from both Jonathan Kreisberg and Gary Versace, Ferber's four-chorus feature sustains the performance's intensity while bringing structural logic and rhythmic imagination to the compact form. His drum solo maintains the tune's architectural shape, each chorus developing naturally from the last. As the final soloist on the album's title track and most extended performance, his playing provides a powerful conclusion to the trio's central statement.

Mark Ferber was 28 to 29 years old at the time.
