Listen to an excerpt of ".925"
This is our version of a clay jazz trio. The name “.925” refers to sterling silver. The clay bass is a large narrow-necked clay pot with a goatskin membrane stretched across the bottom. Striking the skin while covering and uncovering a small side hole produces a variety of deep pitches. Richard plays the clay drums with broom corn—a plant that’s used to make (you guessed it) brooms!
