Thanks for beeing back to read the second and last episode of this short story about JJ Rock, a female drummer in the town of Twackham in London that we started to love. Thanks again to Alice Wickham and Joanne Ruocco, who wanted to share this adventure with the readers of Planet Drum.
We are glad to publish a comedy series about JJ Rock, a female drummer in the town of Twackham in London, fruit of the imagination of two friends of Planet Drum, Alice Wickham and Joanne Ruocco, who wanted to share this new adventure with the readers of Planet Drum. Don’t miss the next and last episode of this short story.
Jo Jo Ruocco, who grew up in New Jersey, started as a percussionist at a really early age: 13 to be precise, drumming with Jazz giant Duke Ellington! She went on to provide drummery for Chuck Berry at the age of 16, then went on to play with Bobby Womack, Billy Ocean, Ronnie Wood, The Style Council, amongst many others! We hear about her great career, and her tastes in music across the decades.
