Jim DiSpirito has been playing the drums for as long as he can remember. He kept a steady course on the drums, studying music in the US at the Berklee College of Music and Indiana University of PA. He then studied overseas, including tutelage in India (tabla drumming) as a student of Ustad Zakir Hussain & Nishikant Barodekar.
He is a three-time Emmy Award nominee for his music for television, and has composed music for independent and IMAX films. Jim has also received a 2005 Telly Award for music composition.
As the percussionist for Rusted Root (1993-2001), Jim helped define the great rhythm-based sound that would propel the band to gold and multi-platinum sales.
Since exiting the band Jim has completed work on the project "big SILENCE", his debut CD, which incorporates the world-beat and American pop sounds.
Jim's wife, singer songwriter Carol Lee Espy, co-wrote, co-produced and performed on Big Silence. Other great players on the project include Dave Brown & Eric Reibling (The Gathering Field), Dwayne Dolphin (Geri Allen, Wallace Roney, Don Byron, Oliver Lake), Lindsey Horner (Bill Frisell, Tommy Flanagan, Joey Baron, Dave Douglas), Pete Freeman and Dave Hanner (Corbin/Hanner Band) ... plus many other wonderful musicians.
"big SILENCE" has drums, percussion, rock & bluegrass ... never, never boring.
Let "big SILENCE" be the soundtrack for your road trip.

Fantastic!

Jim's solo cd is everything that's missing from Rusted Root's sound today. You're doing yourself a great dissservice by not owning this work of art.

Incredible music from Jim
author: eGuitarWorld.com
Jim took his time getting this out to the masses, and it was worth every minute. The versatility of the songs are killer. This very wide range of music really shows what Jim can do, and makes this the type of cd that you just end up keeping in the cd player forever..it seems :-). I've had this cd in my car stereo for a couple of weeks, and then take it in the house and really crank it to get the whole feel. The mix is excellent. If you get the chance, light some incense, light some candles, get a good set of headphones (or not) and just enjoy. This has become an all time favorite.You can't go wrong buying this CD
