Music director/author/educator--and most of all, drummer-- "Swiss Chris" has worked with everybody from Sir Elton John to Chubb Rock but "living his dream"--in his own words--means assembling the weekly live jam session which is kicking off at The Bamboo here in New York. The S.W.I.S.S. ((Saving With Instruments, Samples and Soundz) Sundays jam session will of course attract a who's who of guest musicians, poets, singers, MCs and dancers from Chris' network of collaborators, as well as those of his cohorts Johnny Juice Rosado (Public Enemy) and Mark Hines (Marksmen).
