I agree with the names you mention. Nasheet I first saw with Andrew Hill and Peter Brötzmann (separately) almost 25 years ago. He’s excellent. I don’t know that recordings always capture these artists’ work well, but that has always been the case.

Not listening to the great drummers of today. Blessed to be seeing Gerry Hemingway tonight at The Stone. It’s actually a golden age for drummers. The older guys like Hemingway, Hamid Drake, Paul Lytton, Han Bennink & Andrew Cyrille still playing at a very high level.    the slightly younger drummers than the old dudes like Randy Peterson, Gerald Cleaver, Tom Rainey, Mark Sanders & Steve Noble are incredible.  then we have Tyshawn Sorey, Ches Smith, Nasheet Waits, etc. the real gap is we don’t have many under 40 drummers making their mark. Not sure why a few have not emerged as of yet. Especially here in NYC. 

Why did/would Columbia sit on Captain Marvel for three years before releasing it?  Great album, and IMO would have made more of a splash in 1972 than it did in 1975 when some of the songs had already been recorded and released by the Airto/Flora/Farrell/Clarke RTF.
