baryshnikov Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I was lucky enough to meet Art Blakey and have a drink with him years ago at Ronnies Scotts, he was amazing, you only have to listen to Night in Tunisia to realise that. But i saw the Guvnor three times and it was a brilliant adrealin rush, and i met him afterwards, theres only one genius and thats M r Rich, no contest, paul london.

mikeweil Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Don't ask me about drummers, regardless of style ... there are dozens, all of them are great and have their own style. It would be injustice to name one before the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannonball-addict Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Art Blakey and Max Roach had it all. Ed Blackwell had a special thing. So did Tony Williams - a real special thing. Since Tony Williams, nobody does it for me except Lewis Nash, Brian Blade, Bill Stewart, and Matt Wilson. Nate Smith is pretty nice too.

CJ Shearn Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 (edited) Art Blakey, Philly Joe, Tony, Elvin, Jimmy Cobb, Donald Bailey, Steve Gadd. As for cats more active on today's scene, Jack DeJohnette, Teri Lyne Carrington, Brian Blade, Tain, Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez and Antonio Sanchez, Bill Stewart are some of my favorites. Sanchez is a major young talent on the skins. He has chops and the musicality to back it up. Edited July 16, 2005 by CJ Shearn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Shearn Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Clifford, Frank Butler, really? I have only heard his work on "Seven Steps to Heaven" and I find it pleasing but not particularly stunning, sounds like hes trying too hard to fill the hole left by Jimmy Cobb at times.

Guest akanalog Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 if i see tony williams, ed blackwell, tootie heath, roy haynes, philly jones, eric gravatt, billy hart or elvin jones is playing on an album-that is enough reason for me to at least hear the album. max roach, lous hayes, jack dejohnette (sometimes) and billy higgins (sometimes) do not always connect with me the way i would like...art taylor is good though i do not find him individual enough to be a "must hear" player though i have the highest respect for him. since it seems like people are listing drummers outisde of bob/hard bop let me add jon christensen, who is a great drummer and makes many ECM dates for me.

Jim Alfredson Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Teri Lyne Carrington is amazing. I don't know why she doesn't get more props. Brian Blade is pretty jaw-dropping as well. That's for the new school. For the old school, gotta give it up to Ben Dixon, Joe Dukes, and Donald Bailey... organ drummers extraordinaire!
