The drums on Bee Gees - ‘Stayin’ Alive’ are actually a tape loop from ‘Night Fever’.
Their session drummer wasn’t available, so they took the ‘Night Fever’ drums, found a part they liked, manually cut the tape, looped it and slowed it down.
No computers or samplers in 1977!
We are heartbroken to say Maxi Jazz died peacefully in his sleep last night. He was a man who changed our lives in so many ways. He gave proper meaning and a message to our music. He was a lovely human being with time for everyone and wisdom that was both profound and accessible.
