About the album

Clarence Penn has been one of the most dynamic drummers in jazz since his New York City arrival 33 years ago. His work with Wynton Marsalis, Betty Carter, Diane Reeves and Michael Brecker has been extensively documented, as have his own musical explorations, including 2014's Monk: The Lost Files. Behind the Voice goes a whole new direction as Penn unfurls inventive reimaginings of the works of influential drummers behind some of the greatest pop music created. Songs by Phil Collins, Levon Helm, Stevie Wonder, Peter Gabriel and Dave Grohl receive expansive modern treatments through Penn's production along with a bevy of collaborators, including vocalists Kurt Elling, Aaron Marcellus and TOKU, guitarists Adam Rogers and Gilad Hekselman, and many more. "...a celebration of their artistry, their passion, and their indelible mark on the music we cherish."
Clarence Penn ist seit seiner Ankunft in New York City vor 33 Jahren einer der dynamischsten Schlagzeuger des Jazz. Seine Arbeit mit Wynton Marsalis, Betty Carter, Diane Reeves und Michael Brecker wurde ausgiebig dokumentiert, ebenso wie seine eigenen musikalischen Erkundungen, darunter das 2014 erschienene Album Monk: The Lost Files. Mit Behind the Voice schlägt Penn eine ganz neue Richtung ein, indem er die Werke der einflussreichen Schlagzeuger, die für einige der größten Popmusikwerke verantwortlich sind, neu interpretiert. Songs von Phil Collins, Levon Helm, Stevie Wonder, Peter Gabriel und Dave Grohl erhalten durch Penns Produktion zusammen mit einer Schar von Mitwirkenden, darunter die Sänger Kurt Elling, Aaron Marcellus und TOKU, die Gitarristen Adam Rogers und Gilad Hekselman und viele andere, eine umfassende moderne Bearbeitung. „...eine Feier ihrer Kunstfertigkeit, ihrer Leidenschaft und ihrer unauslöschlichen Spuren in der Musik, die wir schätzen.“
