man, GREAT playing. Those cymbals sound beautiful too. (are those Bos? can't tell with no logos which also LOOKS great IMO)

Yeah, my old teacher [jazz/bop drummer] helped turn me on to Jeff, Tain, & Joey Baron way back in the mid-80's [I was JUST starting to get "the jazz tickle"]...he used to tell me that they were two of the next "new" cats in jazz evolution...he took me to see/meet Joey back then, & he also told me to go out & get some LA4 recordings w Jeff.
Good teacher, as you can see. [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img]

My old teacher told me to see him when he did a clinic with his trio over in Lawrence, KS, at a coffee shop. I got to sit right next to his floor tom and he about got my leg w/his drumstick when he crashed his china. That guy is incredible. He makes it all look so easy. If you get to see him live, ask him to play "A Night in Tunisia" for you. He does it solo on drumset and it's amazing! Get his "Hamilton House-Live at Steamer's" disk to hear him really smoke with his trio!
