Wolfgang Schmid erklärte mir mal den Erfolg von Alphonse Mouzon folgerndermaßen:
>>Er konnte Jazz UND Disco, beides zudem auch in Plateauschuhen!<<
Das lässt sich auf vielen, spannenden Tonträgern nachhören und ist ein schönes Bild, mit dem ich mir zum Abschied jetzt das 1977er Album „In Search of A Dream“ anhöre, eine Aufnahme, die während seines 29. Geburtstags im Schwarzwald gemacht wurde – und wer weiss, was der heutige Tag, ausser der traurigen Todesnachricht an uns, für IHN noch bringt…

>>Questlove took to Instagram to pay his respects. He wrote, “If you were to ask #JohnBonham of LedZep who his drumming hero was. He’d no doubt declare the great #AlphonseMouzon the fairest of them all. And that is a correct statement. I can’t even BEGIN to tell you of his influence on me drumming. Rest In Beats Alphonse!”<<

Modern Drummer Interview from 1979
http://www.moderndrummer.com/2016/12/alphonse-mouzon/
>>MD: Have you experimented with drum synthesizers?
AM: I haven’t performed on any live but I’ve gone into music stores and tried out several, like Syndrums and Synares. They’re nice but I wasn’t overwhelmed. I do have to figure out the drum synthesizer and how I want to use it for my music, so that it’s not mechanical and cold. Hollywood producers in the record industry always want something different, so they demand that everybody has them. Mostly session drummers have them. If you’re doing sessions and one guy has it, all the studio drummers must get it. If you don’t have it, they’ll call another drummer.<<
