SUMMARY:LATE NIGHT GROOVE SERIES: POOGIE BELL BAND
DESCRIPTION: FEATURING: Poogie Bell\, drums Kevin Barefoot\, bass Jaun
	 Vazquez\, guitar Howie Alexander\, keys  The sound of Poogie Bell's d
	rums is what you hear on many of the world's finest jazz\, neo-soul\, 
	R&B and hip-hop records. Performer\, record producer\, composer\, and 
	arranger\, you've heard his work with artists including Chaka Khan\, M
	arcus Miller\, Stanley Clarke\, Roberta Flack\, Erykah Badu\, David Bo
	wie\, John Scofield\, David Sanborn\, Angelique Kidjo\, Joe Sample\, A
	l Jarreau\, Vanessa Williams\, Stanley Turrentine\, Victor Wooten\, an
	d Randy Crawford. A Native of New York and a second generation musicia
	n\, Poogie has been immersed in music since he was born. Taking cues f
	rom his father\, a jazz musician and professor of music\, Poogie has a
	lways had an inherent connection to music. As hard as it may be to bel
	ieve\, he started playing at the age of ten months old and made his co
	ncert debut when he was two and half at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Hall wit
	h his father. By the ripe old age of five he'd already appeared on The
	 Mike Douglas Show with Pearl Bailey. As a kid it wasn't unusual for P
	oogie to see the likes of drummer Max Roach\, saxophonist Ornette Cole
	man\, pianist Marylou Williams\, bassists\, Paul Chambers\, Ron Carter
	 and Richard Davis in his living room jammin' with his father. Growing
	 up he hung out with fellow musicians Bobby Broom\, Omar Hakim\, Marcu
	s Miller\, Lenny White and Bernard Wright\, Weldon Irvine all of whom 
	supported and influenced each other musically. Poogie's first "real" g
	ig was with Tom Brown\, Weldon Irvine and Hugh Masakela. Then came a t
	our with one of the creators of what we know as hip-hop\, Afrika Bamba
	ata and the Soulsonic Force and then with the Force MD's\, a Temptatio
	ns-style vocal group who were the first to incorporate R&B and hip-hop
	. "Touch and Go"\, a song written by Poogie for the Force MD's\, won h
	im the ASCAP Writer's Award for Top 10 Singles in 1988. From his hard 
	work\, Poogie was able to break into the traditional R&B world touring
	 and recording with artists Freddie Jackson\, Phyllis Hyman and Chaka 
	Khan. He came into the New Jack Swing era working with Kieth Sweat\, T
	eddy Riley\, SWV and New Edition. He continues to tour and record with
	 Marcus Miller\,Victor Bailey\,Bill Evans Soul Bop and Erykah Badu\, a
	mong others. now Poogie is doing his own project with The Poogie Bell 
	Band!
