Theme--drummer spotlight

[Milestones]

I endlessly make playlists on my computer, and of course there are many featuring the great drummers in our history.

I have also created some playlists that showcase how a particular drummer connects with another player, which could be a sax player, pianist, guitarist.  In some cases, I don't need to document it separately--there is simply such a large amount of Coltrane with Elvin and Miles with Tony Williams.

Spotlights so far:

• John Abercrombie with Jack DeJohnette
• Sonny Rollins with Max Roach
• Monk with Art Blakey
• Chick Corea with Roy Haynes

I should do some more.
