Recording of Classic Metal Class #2 - The Sabbath-Purple Nexus

We had a great second session for our monthly Classic Metal Class, this time focused on a key topic in the development of early heavy metal - what I've come to call the Black Sabbath-Deep Purple Nexus.  What that refers to - the short version - is the set of musicians and bands that fed into and spun out of these two central early metal bands, and the dynamics and connections by which these complex processes took place.  The bands involved include: Rainbow, Gillan, Whitesnake, Dio, and Ozzy Osbourne - as it turns out, one I missed, Paice Ashton Lord. (I'll do some writing about this nexus, fleshing out this idea further, when I can make the time). 

My friend and colleague, Scott Tarulli - Berklee School of Music guitar professor, studio and gig musician extraordinaire, and a great creative artist in his own right - was able to join me again as a special guest to provide some additional expertise and insight.  The conversation, initially planned to run a bit over an hour, went on for almost two hours.  We had some really seriously engaged participants!

Here's the videorecording of the session, for those who couldn't make it - I hope you enjoy it!

We've got the third session coming up this month - so stay tuned for information about that one!
