Ricky "Sugarfoot" Wellman R.I.P. 1955-2013. A GREAT drummer. With Miles Davis from March 1987 to August 1991. Before Miles Davis, Ricky Wellman was the drummer for Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers from the late 70's to the mid 80's. in Washington DC. Wellman was one of the co-founders of the "go-go" sound that started in DC. Miles heard a tape of Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers and was knocked out by the drumming. He phoned Wellman and invited him to join his band - there was no audition. For my money, Mr. Wellman's drum solo on "Carnival Time" with Miles Davis LIVE in Munich Germany 1988 is one of the greatest drum solo's of all time. A monster talent. Mr. Wellman, R.I.P., a job well done, thank you, JoeB.

Two very tastefully musical solos from percussionist Marilyn Mazur and drummer Ricky Wellman!

[brucepeterson]

Proud to know Ricky he was a beast with Chuck Brown and Experience Unlimited, I'm happy that a musical genius like Miles Davis saw his talent and invited him in, RIP to both legends❤

[ledaros]

What a great drums solo by RICKY WELLMAN!!

[salutes]

Greatest to ever do it...D.Cs own baby!!!

[randymiller]

Miles always pushing musicians beyond there limits to see what he could get out of them it's what made him a great band leader.

[ServeeSchellinx]

Still love is playin well...:), seen them on the North See Jazz festival with the guy who plays guitar on his bass believe he played some years ago with Chriss Daddy music to hear this music !!!

@ minute 0800 Rick Wellman superspreader triggers a pandemic of funk in da House.

[ServeeSchellinx]

its stil amazing, these guys has some upper energy

Wow, I dig how Ricky was doing this 70s throwback thing as a drummer in1988, channeling Carl Palmer & Neil Peart whilst playing Prince-ly music with Miles!

Bonne synchronisation entre Mr WELLEMAN and Miss MAZURE .

Mazur is a groovy percussionist...love that she had the classic Paiste perc set, w/the cup chimes, the rotosounds...all that Stewart Copeland shit, as some of us drummer-types would think. Billy Cobham actually had one of those Paiste fun-sets at the turn of the 80s, which can be seen in a reunion show here on YT that he did w/Herbie & Ron during that period, as well as the thing that he did w/Louie Bellson.

Miles Davis no solo es mi trompetista favorito, sino que además de sus magníficos temas, tenía a su lado a músicos geniales ( léase, Charlie Parker, Wellman, Mazur, Marcus Miller Kenny Garret, etc.
En la elección de músicos me recuerda al genial Josefina Zawinul: Jaco Pastorius, Alfonso Johnson, Víctor Bailey, etc, solo en bajos, además de sus teclados que añadían suspense, potencia y originalidad a su fusión musical. Los más grandes percusionistas pasaron por sus temas: Acuña, Barreto, Dom un Rumao, etc.
Gustaba de la fusión con música marroquí, brasilera, egipcia, latina. Ahí están Badía Boogui Woogui Waltz, Clario, Fast City. Two Lines, Café Andalucía ( con el ritmo más trepidante que he oído ).
Antes de morir compuso una ópera dedicada al Danubio de su Austria natal.
Ahora bien no me gustó la grabación en Alemania de solo Zawinul y sus teclados.
Me quedo con Joung Andrés fine y A remark You made, Birland, Black Marquet y la trepidante Ice Poco Willy.

Je ne connaissais pas ce CARNAVAL TIME de Miles DAVIS ; c'est impressionnant !

[jeremiahabbott]

Dang I wish there was a camera angle behind Wellman to show his foot/pedal technique. But this was enjoyable and the next best thing. Thanks for sharing.

[honeybozo]

Miles, , such a class-act; apologising for fucking with Ricky's sound to make him angry: but it worked he played out of his skin.

[buddabirne]

How come Ricky Wellmann didn't reach the Fame of Billy Cobham ? He plays all the stuff of B.C. with the traditional GRIP, PHANTASTIC !!
