Bobby KappRobert Kaplan, from Highland Park, New Jersey, was unloading tires from a tractor-trailer one day when he decided to leave home. With a school mate's old Dodge and a silver sparkle Ludwig drum kit, he was off to the Catskill Mountains to make a gig. Then he became the blues in Parkersburg, West Virginia, school music at Berklee in Boston, life music on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and how to use a piece of rope as an emergency fan belt on a VW in Mexico, which is called improvising.
One observer remarked, "The only musician I know who has gone from playing drums on some of world's most abstract music (on records with Marion Brown, Dave Burrell, Noah Howard and Gato Barbieri), drumming and singing with Dexter Gordon in Mexico, to placing in the top ten finalists of the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Vocal Competition, and world tours with bassist Gene Perla and the Fine Wine Trio. Some jazz magazine should pick up on this guy's story by now."
Anyway, Robert became Bobby, who says, "Best of luck on everybody's transtitions out there. You know, there is always a new song to be sung, everywhere."
