"Casa Loco" by Steve Jordan

Here's a transcription for Modern Drummer that I did back in 1989, I think you'll enjoy working on this one!

It's Steve Jordan's solo from the title track of the album Casa Loco with the group Eyewitness.

  • Steve Kahn on Guitar
  • Anthony Jackson on Bass
  • Steve Jordan on Drums
  • Manolo Badrena on Drums/Percussion/Vocals

Program the bass line ostinato in your favorite app to practice over.

What he does in measures 16 thru 24 is pretty amazing.

Hit the blue Download button below to get the music and recording, print it out, and work it up.

Solo starts at 07:30.

Bonus!!! A wonderful article written by Matt Phillips with Steve Kahn talking about making this classic album.

"The album is also totally unclassifiable – a ‘fusion’ band playing a blazing surf-rock cover tune (‘Penetration’)? An unhinged Puerto Rican percussionist singing in quasi-Spanish but sounding remarkably like Sting?"

"After a grueling four years at SUNY I still had one theory class left to finish. I was really depressed. A classmate of mine recommended me for a tour of a Broadway show. This completely changed the course of my life."

"When I first got the call to start working on Ain’t Too Proud - The Life And Times Of The Temptations, I was curious about which era the show was going to focus on. Their career began in the early 1960’s and they’re still releasing albums today."

"The unique part of Groundhog Day was that the drummer had to play on stage, in a groundhog costume, wearing a giant groundhog head. Since I could barely see out of the head, it was impossible to read a chart (and there wasn’t a music stand), so it had to be memorized."
