Strolling into the Hammersmith
Apollo at 4:00 pm during India.Arie's soundcheck, I meet Forrest
Robinson for the first time. A warm human being, I was made
welcome by not only Forrest but the whole band. They were all
down to earth and there was a great atmosphere and I was fortunate
enough to be able to get on with taking photos without getting
in the way of the soundcheck. Forrest says, "Feel free....get
on and do your thing - don't mind me."
As I continue to snap more photos, the band break into rehearsals
with "Move In The Right Direction" with Forrest playing a djembe.
Bass player Khari and Forrest have been in each others lives
for the past 8 or 9 years and form a great rhythm section for
India.Arie. I asked Khari what makes Forrest such a great drummer,
Khari says "Forrest is one of those drummers that has great
experience in playing different types of music and his approach
to music is one that he makes through feel and that's what makes
him great at what he does."
