Идрис Мухаммад не имеет ничего против термина «crossover». Уроженец Нового Орлеана, этот барабанщик, как участник группы Лу Доналдсона (Lou Donaldson) в середине 1960-х годов оказался у истоков этого течения, которое смешивает джаз с популярной музыкой, гораздо раньше, чем кто-то догадался придумать название для этого музыкального направления. Как один из наиболее востребованных студийных музыкантов в Нью-Йорке, Мухаммад играл на сессиях с такими значимыми представителями кроссовера середины 70-х как Боб Джеймс (Bob James), Дональд Бёрд (Donald Byrd), Гровер Вашингтон младший (Grover Washington, Jr.) и Фредди Хаббард (Freddie Hubbard).

Наконец, в конце семидесятых, Идрис становится самостоятельным и наиболее коммерчески успешным музыкантом стиля кроссовер, так что несколько его последних альбомов поднялись на самые вершины поп-, соул-, диско- и собственно джазовых чартов. Это «Turn This Mutha Out» и «Boogie to the Top» (на лейбле CTI’s Kudu), а также его дебют на лейбле Fantasy - альбом «You Ain’t No Friend of Mine!» (пролюсер Уильям Фишер (William Fischer)). Его самый свежий релиз на Fantasy, «Foxhuntin’», объединяет его с Дэйвом Мэттьюсом (Dave Matthews) и Тони Сарафино (Tony Sarafino), той самой командой, что спролюсировала его хиты на Kudu. Результат? Совершенное диско с ритмической основой, в которой безошибочно узнается Мухаммад.

Понятно, что Идрис очень доволен этим альбомом. «Танцевальные ритмы там, конечно, есть,» - говорит он, - «но есть и совершенно свежий звук, которым я очень удовлетворен». Большая часть материала этой пластинки принадлежит Мэттьюсу и Сарафино, также там присутствует трек, написанный женой Идриса, Сакиной Мухаммад (Sakinah Muhammad). Коллектив исполнителей включал также Хайрама Баллока (Hiram Bullock) на гитаре, клавишника Клиффа Картера (Cliff Carter), басиста Уилбура Бэскобма (Wilbur Bascomb) и певцов Ронни Игл (Ronnie Eagle) и Фрэнка Флойда (Frank Floyd).

Хотя джазовая публика впервые познакомилась с Мухаммадом только в 1967 году, когда его фанковые ритмы сопровождали хит альт-саксофониста Лу Дональдсона «Alligator Boogaloo», он был движущей силой бесчисленных рок- и ритм & блюз хитов всего предшествующего десятилетия. Его вклад заметен в таких классических вещах как "Bony Moronie" Ларри Уильямса (Larry Williams), "Keep On Pushing" и "People Get Ready" Impressions, а также Chapel of Love" Дикси Капс (Dixie Cups).

Идрис родился в семье Натаниела Морриса (Nathaniel Morris), игравшего на банджо в традиционных джазовых ансамблях, и был младшим из четырех братьев, которые все играли на барабанах. Он вспоминает: «все музыканты в Диксиленде жили по соседству, так что могли собираться по воскресеньям и маршем проходить по улицам. Это было совершенно необычно, такое не удавалось нигде и никаким другим музыкантам. В Новом Орлеане вы можете играть музыку всевозможных сортов, потому что Новый Орлеан – это не город музыки-одного-типа».

Мухаммад стал ведущим представителем уникальной Новоорлеанской школы игры на ударных и среди тех, кто ощутил его влияние, такие уроженцы этого города, как его брат Натаниэл Моррис-младший (Nathaniel Morris, Jr), Эд Блэкуэлл (Ed Blackwell), Джон Будро (John Boudreaux) и Смоки Джонсон (Smokey Johnson). Мухаммад рассказывает: «Поскольку мой отец был музыкантом, он целый день мог играть на ударных у себя дома и никто не мог сказать ничего против. И вот Джон и Смоки приходили к нам домой и репетировали. Мы все были тогда ещё щенками, но, между нами говоря, сумели захватить всю новоорлеанскую сцену».

Мухаммад работал с легендарным коллективом Hawkettes, под управлением органиста Арта Невилла (Art Neville), когда в 1957 году Ларри Уильямс (Larry Williams) пригласил его на совместные гастроли. На следующий год он отправляется в турне с Сэмом Куком (Sam Cooke), но вскоре возвращается домой, где записывает (совместно с певцом Джо Джонсом (Joe Jones)) «You Talk Too Much».

Эта запись и другие хиты новоорлеанского периода стали национальной сенсацией благодаря их уникальным синкопированным ритмам. Исполнители и продюсеры во множестве звукозаписывающих компаний искали возможность скопировать этот волшебный звук, но он был настолько необычен, что никто не мог повторить его. Эрл Палмер (Earl Palmer) уже уехал в южную Калифорнию, где стал барабанщиком в одной из ведущих рок-н-ролльных студий конца 1950-х. Берри Горди (Berry Gordy) послал за Смоки Джонсоном (Smokey Johnson), который, если верить Мухаммаду, заложил римтическую основу звука Motown.

После участия в гастролях Максины Браун (Maxine Brown), Мухаммад выступал очень деятельно и в Чикаго (с Ди Кларком (Dee Clark), Джерри Батлером (Jerry Butler) и Кертисом Мэйфилдом (Curtis Mayfield)) и в Нью-Йорке (с певцом Ллойдом Прайсом (Lloyd Price) и продюсерами Джерри Лейбером (Jerry Leiber), Майком Столлером (Mike Stoller) и Джеффом Барри (Jeff Barry)).

В конце 1960-х он окончательно переселился в Нью-Йорк и работал там с такими величинами джаза как Дональдсон, Нэт Эддерли (Nat Adderley), Сонни Ститт (Sonny Stitt) и Джина Эммонса (Gene Ammons). Но это не заставило его забыть о своих корнях так как, по его же собственным словам, «у меня был такой ритм, с которым ещё никто никогда не играл».

Несмотря на очень плотный график студийной работы, Мухаммад нашел время для того, чтобы в течение четырех лет работать с оригинальным бэндом для Hair, а другие четыре года – совместно с певицей Робертой Флэк (Roberta Flack). Также в 1971 году на лейбле Prestige он выпустил два своих сольных альбома, Black Rhythm Revolution и Peace and Rhythm.

Невероятные гибкость и размах Идриса были вновь продемонстрированы в его недавней связке с квартетом тенор-саксофониста Джонни Гриффина (Johnny Griffin). «Весь этот тур был величайшим опытом для меня! Джонни - очень сильный исполнитель, и мы имели смелость играть с ним вместе». А на противоположном конце спектра возможностей Мухаммада находится динамичное диско Foxhuntin' – ещё одно выражение его уникального ритмического таланта.
