From a recent portrait session with the one and only @alliboomboom ! We had fun playing with a few different color gel techniques. Here are a few of my favs from those experiments.

What a joy watching @rhiannongiddens and the @resistancerevivalchorus sing “Freedom Highway” (The Staple Singers) - a song that remains so powerful and relevant today. And to welcome the Buffalo in “Return of the Buffalo: Tatanka Owe Akupi” by Amir Nizar Zuabi @amirnizarzoabi (who also created Amal) was an honor. “Inspired by the buffalo’s extraordinary return - from near extinction to repopulation!!” This project interrogates ideas of land, ownership, migration, the value of animal and human life, movement, and indigeneity. And what a spectacle!! The buffalo were incredible. Big thanks to the band as well, @bgriptite on guitar, @alliboomboom on drums and @ganessajames on bass! 💫💫💫 by @alliboomboom

Night 5 was the perfect closing to our Rhythm Residencies. Allison, having know Roberto and rehearsing at Michiko for 30 years, felt at home and offered a seat at the table to us all. The night ensued with a simmering duo version of ‘Jungle Soul,’ which happened to be Allison and Joe’s introduction to one another via Dr. Lonnie Smith. Soon after the show began Joe left the spotlight to Allison to perform a 35 minute solo set of inspiring melody and rhythm from behind the kit and her custom Electric Bike Frame built by a friend on the West coast.

After a fun intermission hanging with the artists, Joe returned to the stage to narrate a sonic landscape with samples and textures. His fluidity around the drum set felt empowering to witness as he unfolded musical phrasing to our ears. When Allison joined Joe again on stage we all applauded in excitement. They wrapped up their set with another groovy 15 minutes of collaboration before graciously thanking Roberto Romeo for hosting Rhythm Residencies at Michiko Studios.

Thank you to everyone who was apart of this series, we are grateful for all the support and excitement from listeners, artists, and hosts alike.

Two drummers. Each with their own FEEL. Painting with rhythms 🔥🔥🔥🥁🥁

Joe Dyson and Allison Miller closing out Night 5 (August 23, 2026) — not just playing, but listening. Trading ideas in real time, weaving stories between the beats.

I left with a reminder that music is bigger and better when shared with others. It’s about showing up, staying open, and enjoying the journey of being part of the community.

Great connecting with Roberto, Jackson, and everyone who made this week one to remember.

My phone was rattling on the music stand while I made this little recording. But…I’m posting anyway cause I like the effect! This is a variation on a groove I played on Dr. Lonnie Smith‘s album Jungle Soul. I’ve been thinking about him a lot as I prep for this Sunday’s duo concert with Joe Dyson at Michiko Studios. Joe and I both had the honor of playing with Doc back in the day and we even got a chance to play together with Doc once at Brooklyn Bowl. Sunday Aug 23rd 7pm @michikostudios by @alliboomboom
