Our Take

Aynsley Dunbar's latest album, "Blue Whale," is a tidal wave of musical genius that will have you hooked from the first splash. This veteran drummer may not be a household name like your Ringo Starrs or your Dave Grohls, but his work speaks for itself.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world where jazz, funk, and rock collide in a cacophony of groove-infused bliss. Dunbar's drumming is nothing short of mesmerising, as he effortlessly weaves intricate rhythms and fills throughout each track. It's like he's conducting a symphony with his drumsticks, commanding your attention with every beat.

The supporting cast on "Blue Whale" is equally impressive, with notable contributions from jazz luminaries like Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea. Their virtuosic playing adds another layer of complexity to Dunbar's already rich tapestry of sound.

Tracks like "Whale Song" and "Deep Sea Groove" showcase Dunbar's ability to seamlessly blend genres, creating a sound that is uniquely his own. It's like he's taking you on a journey through the depths of the ocean, with each note acting as a guide through uncharted waters.

In a music industry saturated with generic pop and manufactured hits, Aynsley Dunbar stands out as a true maverick. "Blue Whale" is a testament to his talent and his unwavering dedication to his craft. Dive in and let the waves of this album wash over you - you won't regret it.

About the artist

Aynsley Dunbar

Aynsley Dunbar: The Unsung Drumming Hero When it comes to legendary drummers, names like John Bonham and Keith Moon usually dominate the conversation. But what about Aynsley Dunbar? This British-born percussionist may not be a household name, but his contributions to music cannot be overlooked. Dunbar first made a name for himself in the late 1960s as the drummer for the Jeff Beck Group, where his powerful, dynamic playing caught the attention of fans and critics alike. He then went on to play with the likes of Frank Zappa, David Bowie, and Journey, solidifying his reputation as a versatile and accomplished musician. But what sets Dunbar apart from his peers is his ability to adapt to any musical style. Whether he's laying down a funky groove with Zappa or keeping the beat for Bowie's glam rock anthems, Dunbar's drumming always shines through with precision and flair. Despite his impressive resume, Dunbar remains a somewhat overlooked figure in the music world. Perhaps it's because he's always been more interested in letting his playing do the talking than seeking out the spotlight. Or maybe it's because his name just doesn't have the same cachet as some of his more famous contemporaries. Regardless, Aynsley Dunbar deserves recognition as one of the unsung heroes of rock and roll. So next time you spin a record by one of the many bands he's been a part of, take a moment to appreciate the man behind the kit. You may just find yourself tapping your foot in admiration of his undeniable talent.
