I’m a fan of “Zappamusic.” Maybe not the biggest connoisseur freak out there, but I have always been a fan. I’ve also heard plenty of people play Zappamusic, ranging from really well to really badly.

Ahmir Thompson is a busy man. It’s not enough that Thompson – better known as ?uestlove – has a nightly gig with the Roots as house band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. He is also a road warrior, filling practically every free moment from “Late Night” with a quick tour or all-night jam session with the Roots. So, when Thompson recently agreed to write the score for an upcoming Soul Train documentary, it seemed like the amply afro-ed drummer was going to need a few more hours in the day to fit it all in.
