Online rumours about the death of well-known American drummer Ralph Humphrey are circulating.
Ralph, most known for his collaborations with Frank Zappa, was declared deceased on Tuesday, April 18, 2023, but this news has not yet been confirmed. It’s also possible that this created a stir of chaos among the people.
In Los Angeles, Ralph was a professional drummer who also taught drumming. He has a range of drumming experience in his past.
Thanks to his prior work with the Don Ellis Big Band and Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, he has the knowledge and experience to talk, teach, and write about rhythm and its use in music.
Ralph played for various film, television, and record projects throughout his highly active career in the recording industry.
His nearly 40-year recording and performing career includes collaborations with jazz greats like Wayne Shorter, Al Jarreau, Toshiko Akiyoshi, and Lou Tabakin, as well as mainstream artists like Seals and Crofts, Jose Feliciano, Bette Midler, Captain and Tenille, Richard Carpenter, Rita Moreno, Free Flight, Natalie Cole, Pete Christlieb, Joe Farrell, Tierney Sutton, Alphonso Johnson, Milcho Leviev and many more.
Ralph can be heard on two recent releases: Millers’ “Save the Moon” on the Marsis Jazz label and “Aphrodite Moves On” by Babaghanoush. Alphonso Johnson, Antti Suzuki, and Victor Wooten are featured on Prasanna’s brand-new CD, “Be The Change.”
