"Collecting essays by fourteen expert contributors into a trans-oceanic celebration and critique, Mamadou Diouf and Ifeoma Kiddoe Nwankwo show how music, dance, and popular culture turn ways of remembering Africa into African ways of remembering. With a mix of Nuyorican, Cuban, Haitian, Kenyan, Senegalese, Trinidagonian, and Brazilian beats, Rhythms of the Afro-Atlantic World proves that the pleasures of poly-rhythm belong to the realm of the discursive as well as the sonic and the kinesthetic."

The Big Little Drum Book: Contemporary Concepts For The Modern Drummer is one of the few books that teaches creativity through tangible concepts. Rod Morgenstein says "Kudos to Kevin Fortunato for creating a drum book that is filled with countless ways to expand one's drum groove arsenal. His clearly written concepts and patterns offer an exciting, challenging and fresh approach for today's serious drummer looking to bring his or her drumming skills to the next level". The Big Little Drum Book fosters command and control while teaching coordination, technique, styles, and time keeping. It will enable drummers to develop their vocabulary through concepts that work in past, present, and future drumming and music. It's a small book that offers an enormous amount of information.
