09.16.11 | Steely Dan.
They're more jazz-rock, but they rule face. Maybe you know about them already from your teacher. |
ZilbelPing
09.16.11 | Actually no, but I'll check them out. |
Jethro42
09.16.11 | Steely Dan Alive in America is a good way to start. It features one of the best drummer of all time, Dennis Chambers. |
ThorntonReed
09.16.11 | Steely Dan is cool, but their "jazziness" varies.
Aja is their best imo. |
liledman
09.16.11 | check out the drumming of these dudes in particular:
joe morello
philly joe jones
papa jo jones (count basie drummer in the golden period, "all american rhythm section", nobody has swung harder)
john riley
art blakey
if you want swing period stuff in particular, check count basie first and foremost. for other stuff:
miles davis - miles smiles (tony williams)
john coltrane - crescent, a love supreme... everything he did '61 - '65 (elvin jones)
joe henderson - inner urge - (elvin jones)
sam rivers - contours (joe chambers)
herbie hancock - empyrean isles (tony williams)
mccoy tyner - the real mccoy (elvin jones)
you may realise that i am partial to elvin jones and tony williams. basically my two favourite drummers. |
