Bosphorus artist reports from his travels with Al Jarreau: The new approach for Al's set is being taken from the earlier records such as "Look to the Rainbow," and "Al Jarreau Live in Berlin. " If you're familiar with those records, that music was played with more of a jazz sensibility, using a lot of space and color. To play this type of music I had to change my set up. I'm going with smaller drums and some new cymbals. My setup is 13" Antique hats, an 18" paper thin Antique, a 9" Traditional splash, a Gold 17" Fast Crash, an Attique 22' thin ride and a New Orleans 20. My Bosphorus cymbals compliment Al's new (old) approach perfectly.

I grew up listening to "Look to the Rainbow" and have missed that sound from Al for the longest of times. Glad to hear that he's returned to that sound. Not surprising that Mark chose the Antique line (my personal favourite) to perfectly compliment colour the music.
