Jim Chapin 1919 – 2009
Jul 5th
James Forbes Chapin, legendary jazz drummer and educator, died July 4, 2009 in Florida just a few weeks shy of his 90th birthday.
Jim was an amazing drummer and a mentor to Progressive founder/owner Billy Cuthrell. Chapin held residency teaching students young and old at Progressive Music Center from 2001 until his health prevented him from traveling in 2006. Jim will be greatly missed for all of his stories, songs and solos, but most of all for his friendship and encouragement to all that meet him.
Back From NAMM 2009!
Jan 20th
With temperatures in the mid 80s the entire week it was hard coming back from the NAMM show in Anaheim to the cold (and snow) of North Carolina. The show was as good as ever and we have some amazing new products arriving soon that we hand picked for the retail shop.
Progressives Dexter Horton, Kyle Long and Chuck Barchuk all had a full plate during the show making the rounds at various manufacturer’s booths to see new products and demos.
Progressive Founder/Owner Billy Cuthrell kicked the show off with an appearance on the panel for the NAMM Breakfast of Champions session (pictured above) along with Gene Simmons (KISS/Family Jewels), Paul Cuomo (Howrey, LLP), Mitsuru “Mick” Umemura (Yamaha), Scott Silver (Chicago Music Exchange) and Jason Tavaria (Dolphin Music).
We’ll have more pictures posted as we get ourselves unpacked and back into a our “normal” routines. Until then, you can always check out our Youtube channel for videos and updates of the show as we get them posted.
