 SLAMMIN all-body band — released 2005.
SLAMMIN brings down the house with lightning-fast improvisation, electrifying harmonies, blazing percussive dance, and raucous humor. Deeply rooted in the grooves of Jazz, Funk, R&B and World Music, SLAMMIN pushes a cappella music outside the box, and over the ledge.
Vocals by Bryan Dyer, Zo‘ Ellis, Kenny Washington and Destani Wolf.
Beatboxing by Steve Hogan.
Body Music by Keith Terry.
Plus a special appearance by Vicki Randall (#8, Freedom Jazz Dance).
"Mixing jazz, reggae and techno with a funky hint of Sly and Family Stone, this body music group abandons not only convention but instruments altogether. Slammin relies exclusively on the musical potential of the human body to cook up a fresh take on old favorites such as Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder and Toots and the Maytals. The Bay Area sensation, known for its signature off-the-wall improv sessions, offers up an organic blend of a cappella, beatboxing and body music (imagine a funk-soul version of Bjork's Medulla)." - Jackie Black, GOOD TIMES
SLAMMIN's concerts are rowdy, funky, humorous, vibrant and fresh; the material -- old school, contemporary, and of the moment. Much of SLAMMIN's debut CD is improvised and live, capturing that energy. The album features these phenomenally talented vocalists playing off the other members of the band and reacting to the smallest nuances from the audience. The rhythm section lays down the ride, with Body Music throwing in a kinetic component unseen in a cappella music. As with every Crosspulse recording, the inter-culturalism and soul imbedded in the Oakland music scene is rampant.

 BODY MUSIC, PART TWO
with Keith Terry
What is Body Music? Before people were hollowing logs and slapping rocks, they were using their bodies to stomp, clap, sing, snap and grunt their musical ideas. There are many traditional Body Musics in the world, from African-American Hambone and Flamenco Palmas to Sumatran Saman and Ethiopian Armpit music. Keith Terry has developed a contemporary style of Body Music based on his training as a Jazz drummer, as well as his years of intensive study and collaboration with world rhythmic systems.
Body Music: Part Two uses the techniques developed in Part One to create more complex rhythmic patterns, as well as increased coordination between hands, feet and voice. Working at an intermediate level, students explore sequencing, phasing, downbeat/offbeat and syncopation while building a four-part polyrhythm. With Evie Ladin, Namita Kapoor and Yari Mander. Includes Footage of Keith Terry in Performance.
Your 1st body music vid has enabled me to open up my rhythmicality through total body involvement. Because of that, I can now share this knowledge with everybody from theater groups, dance troups, modern dancers and beyond. I can't wait to get this new video. many thanks to you. --John Scalici, Birmingham, AL
Teachers: See website forum where you can share your original applications of Body Music to a range of academic subjects.
“Sophisticated and up-to-the-minute in its intellectual appeal, in its multicultural inspirations and in its blending of boundaries between art forms” Washington Post

clever rhythmic variations."
