Over a year in the making, drumming legend\u00a0Virgil\u00a0Donati’s much anticipated solo record In This Life is destined to set the bar for explorations in rhythm.\u00a0 The album was produced, written and arranged by\u00a0Donati, and mixed by Alex Argento. \u00a0\u00a0Virgil\u2019s drumming has arguably been at the leading edge for at least a decade, and as this record displays, his compositional and orchestration skills are also coming to the fore.\u00a0 Says\u00a0Donati: After all these years of playing, I still feel like I\u2019ve barely scratched the surface!<\/p>\n
Virgil\u00a0has always had a propensity towards a contrarian approach to music and to life. Never one to seek approval or security, he has maintained an introspective, independent mind, transcending traditional boundaries, always alert of the possibilities beyond the norm. The 10 tracks on this album are affirmation of these principles, and along the way, features some of the brightest young musicians bursting onto the scene from all corners of the globe – including\u00a0Marco Sfogli<\/b>,\u00a0Alex Argento<\/b>,\u00a0Dennis Hamm<\/b>,\u00a0Doug Shreeve<\/b>,\u00a0Brett Garsed<\/b>,\u00a0Irwin Thomas<\/b>,\u00a0Alex Machacek<\/b>,\u00a0Paul Sherman<\/b>,\u00a0Anthony Crawford<\/b>,Tom Kennedy<\/b>,\u00a0Jeff Babko<\/b>,\u00a0Rafael Moreira<\/b>,\u00a0Simon Hosford<\/b>,\u00a0Evan Marien<\/b>,\u00a0Artyom Manukyan<\/b>, and\u00a0Ruslan Sirota<\/b>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
