The Warren Smith Interview…..
Warren Smith was born in 1934 and moved to New York In 1957. He along with Ken McIntyre opened the first black-ethos music school at SUNY Westbury. He became the first black to be part of an orchestra and was the drummer for the last seven years of the original New York run of West Side Story on Broadway. He was also part of Max Roach's percussion project MBOOM. Sessions, lofts and education followed. Another legend.

Brilliant to showcase Warren Smith WIS, (a dear friend, mentor) for many years. No one will ever know how special a place Old Westbury was unless they could experience it. Think about this interview, all the history you hear about, I had access to that for four years straight, one on one studying with this brilliant man. I grew more in 4 years than the 25 years I’ve been playing studying with warren. Thanks for doing it.
My thoughts exactly. Thanks JA! JF
I second that Joseph. ..
