Philosopher of Sound
It was thanks to Jerome that my ears opened to HEAR the drums for the first time.
This was one of the greatest gifts anyone ever gave me.
Cooper's background is stellar.
He grew up literally above Theresa's, the legendary Chicago blues club. He got his educational foundation from Captain Walter Dyett who also taught Sun Ra, Nat King Cole, Clifford Jordan, Von Freeman, Richard Davis and countless other musicians who made their mark on jazz.
Some of the people he's played with over the years include: Cecil Taylor, Roscoe Mitchell, Anthony Braxton, Leroy Jenkins, Oliver Lake, Lester Bowie, and Rashaad Roland Kirk.
He was part of one of the most striking units of the free jazz movement, The Revolutionary Ensemble.
