Tomorrow night, Max Weinberg kicks off his Max Weinberg Big Band Tour at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey. On the trek, which runs through the beginning of July, the drummer's 15-piece band will mix classics by Buddy Rich and Count Basie with big-band style arrangements of Bruce Springsteen songs like "Born to Run," "Kitty's Back" and "Thunder Road." "The drummers I liked as a kid growing up were people like Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich," Weinberg told Rolling Stone when we tracked him down a Manhattan rehearsal space yesterday (watch the interview above).
