    What's Greg Bissonette been up to?

    post DLR? I found this on You Tube, Greg Bissonette on drums playing with trumpeter Maynard Ferguson doing Rocky theme song.

      Did a little research and Maynard died August 23, 2006, so it's not that recent but still pretty cool. Was Greg part of Dave's Mambo Slammers in 95?

              that looks like it's around the early 80's

                  Yeah the keyboards definitely are.

                  Probably some time between Locky III and Locky IV...

                      Yup it's pre Roth - 1982

                      Gregg Bissonette Biography

                      Gregg left Dallas and moved to LA in 1982. In his new home of LA, he made friends with 3 of his favorite drummers: Myron Grombacher from the Pat Benatar band, Mark Craney from Gino Vannelli's band, and Doane Perry from Jethro Tull. They started a fun drummers club with other friends of theirs: Jay Rubin, Barry Schnider, Dean Zimmer, Tony Pia, and many others called "The Woodland Hills Drum Club."

                      Later that year, one of his childhood dreams came true when he joined Maynard Ferguson's band, which already included Matt on bass. They toured the world, and recorded a live cd called "Live In San Francisco". After the Maynard gig, Gregg joined the Brandon Fields band, and did a cd with that band called "The Other Side Of The Story". The members on that cd are: Brandon Fields saxes, Walt Fowler trumpet and keys, David Garfield keyboards, John Pattitucci bass, and Gregg on drums.
                      Looking at him I'm surprised Maynard Ferguson lasted another 24 years after this...
